Paintings with Purples

Purple has long been associated with royalty. "Tyrian purple" pigment came from a rare form of sea snail and became worth its weight in gold. It took two hundred and fifty thousand mollusks to create one ounce of the pigment. As ages passed, new ways were found to create the brilliant color and it eventually became more common and widely available. It was Gustav Klimt who famously layered purples and lavenders with 24kt gold leaf in his classic works.  Erin Hanson has employed purples with complementary greens or earth tones to create many bold and stunning works.

Monet's water lily garden inspired this contemporary impressionism masterpiece by Erin Hanson. Completed in her signature Open Impressionism style, Hanson's first 5-paneled painting (a "pentaptych") captures the beautiful blues and greens of France. Thick brushstrokes of oil paint create a sense of movement throughout the painting, capturing the emotional feeling of standing by the side of Monet's pond and gazing out into the reflections.

The Grand Canyon is a painter's paradise... every morning and every sunset the canyon looks different. This painting was inspired by an early morning out at Hopi Point. As the clouds moved slowly overhead, the first rays of dawn shot through the cloud layer and illuminated the canyon below in an ever-changing dance of color and light. I used thick, expressive strokes of oil paint to capture the strength and majesty of the vista. "Canyon's First Light" will be on display at The Erin Hanson Gallery for <i><a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/colossalcollection2025" target="_blank">The Colossal Collection</i></a> on August 9th, 2025.

Haystack Rock is the most iconic sea stack formation on the Oregon coast, and seeing it at sunset brings it to light like no other time of day. Erin Hanson's Open Impressionism techniques beautifully capture the changing light and multitude of colors in the seascape. Thick brush strokes of oil paint laid side by side give a sense of movement in the painting. "Haystack Rock" will be on display at The Erin Hanson Gallery for <i><a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/colossalcollection2025" target="_blank">The Colossal Collection</i></a> on August 9th, 2025.

There is one vista I love to paint at the southern edge of Carmel... there is a little bridge between the houses, and if I clamber down underneath the bridge, I can see a beautifully iconic rocky vista with Monterey cypress trees growing in overlapping layers. When there is a light mist in the air, the picture becomes moody and intriguing. This painting was inspired by my last trip to Carmel.

I spent two days exploring the lavender fields around Valensole, Provence. This region of France has steep-edged, high plateaus where lavender is grown. With dawn sunlight beginning at 5AM and lasting until 10PM, I had very long days to soak up the beautiful colors and changing light of French lavender fields. I also saw the occasional sunflower field, which was an added bonus!

Driving north along Highway 1 from Cambria, on the way to Hearst Castle, you see some of the most beautiful scenery along the Pacific Coast. I have always been drawn to the romantic shapes and multi-colored bark of the eucalyptus tree, and the way these trees were framed by the summer-colored hills beyond made me pull my van around and circle back so I could get some reference shots to paint.

Warm morning hues of alizarin bathe the beautiful wine country region of Mariposa, just west of Yosemite. This painting was created using a limited palette of viridian and alizarin crimson.

Exploring the lavender fields on the high plateaus of Provence, France, was an experience I will never forget. I caught two sunsets and two sunrises among the lavender fields, and I have enough inspiration to last me a lifetime! After painting vineyards for so many years, it is fun to paint purple cultivated rows instead. The ground between the lavender plants is covered in warm-hued stones, adding additional texture and color contrast to the landscape. This painting will be displayed in my "<a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/ReflectionsoftheSeine">Impressions of the Seine</a>" collection release at my gallery on September 14th, 2024.

Abstract impressionist brushstrokes capture the vivid colors and sense of movement in Zion National Park canyon. Erin Hanson lays her brush strokes side by side, like placing tiles in a mosaic. The result is thickly textured oil painting that glows with internal light. "Zion Canyon" was a part of the Sears Art Museum Invitational in 2025.

I love driving the winding roads through Paso Robles wine country. At the high elevations, I pass by sun-lit vineyards and open orchards, and when the roads dip down in the valleys, I pass beneath overhanging oak trees and hanging moss, and I can hear the sound of water trickling by in the nearby stream. This painting captures this view of Paso from between the oak trees, where crystalline light casts long shadows across the road.

This summer, I took a river boat cruise along the Seine to get inspiration from the many places the first impressionists painted, and I then traveled all across France, from Etretat to Provence, gathering inspiration. This painting captures the beautiful lavender fields of Provence, captured during the golden light of dawn. The stone house nestled among the cypress trees demanded to be included in the painting.

This painting of Arizona saguaros celebrates the vibrant colors of the southwest. The thick, impressionistic brush strokes create a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas, pulling your eye through the painting so that you become immersed in imagination. <b>Did you know…?</b> * The average saguaro has a lifespan of 150 to 175 years. Biologists believe that some may live for over 200 years. * Because of their slow growth, a saguaro often takes 50 to 70 years to grow their first arms. By the time they are 100, they typically have several arms. * The oldest recorded saguaro grew over 40 feet tall and had 52 arms. _____ This painting was exhibited at <i>Erin Hanson: Landscapes of the West </i> solo museum exhibition at the Sears Art Museum in St. George, Utah.

Brilliant hues of refracted light glimmer in the coastal fog of Mendocino. The brush strokes are thick and impressionistic, capturing the beauty of the California cypress tree. Erin Hanson's unique approach to oil painting involved pre-mixing her entire palette from a limited selection of five pigments. She then places the brush strokes side by side without layering, creating a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas. This diptych is designed to hang unframed. The sides of the 1-1/2" canvases are painted wrap-around style, so that you can see the painting continue when viewed from the side. Please place the paintings 2" apart on the wall. This piece will be on display at Erin Hanson's solo museum show <i><a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/AlchemistofColor" target="_blank">Erin Hanson: Alchemist of Color</i></a> at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard, California. You may purchase this painting now, but the piece will not be delivered until after the show ends on December 28th, 2023.

Exploring southern France, I was inspired by the high plateaus in Provence, which are covered in endless lavender fields. Tucked among the lavender fields, I discovered this field of sunflowers right as the sun came up over the mountains. The rich, saturated colors of early morning are captured in this oil painting, while thick, lavish brush strokes bring to life the beauty of the sunflowers.

I returned to Japan this year (after exploring their famous Japanese maple tree fall colors), this time to experience sakura -- the Japanese cherry blossom. This pink weeping cherry blooms after the abundant white cherry trees, and their delicate blooms are more rare and, therefore, more precious. This painting captures a weeping branch of pink cherry blooms with thick, expressive brush strokes and subtle color changes.

The view of Mt Hood from the Hood River Valley is one of my favorites to paint. I love how large and looming the mountain peak appears, and I love the contrast of snow-covered peaks against orchards and wildflowers. I pre-mix my palette from only five basic colors, and then I lay my brush strokes side by side, in a technique that allows me to be expressive and free when I paint. I call my style "Open Impressionism."

A vase of purple irises stands against damask wallpaper, the richly colored blooms blending and contrasting with the background. Thick brushstrokes of oil paint capture the transient beauty of the flowers with expressive joy and movement. Erin Hanson, creator of the style Open Impressionism, mixes her color palette from only five colors, using her palette to pre-blend the entire array of colors that will appear in the painting before ever picking up a brush. When she paints, she lays her strokes side by side without layering, creating a mosaic of color and texture across her canvas. Her unmuddied colors are bright and vibrant, capturing the imagination.

The lavender fields of Provence are everything I imagined they would be... endless rolling hills and fields covered in perfect rows of lavender. Since Valensole is high on a plateau, I felt strangely isolated in the high elevation, with my true horizon line hidden from me. The blue mountains in the distance are actually the peaks of the Swiss Alps, in the next country over!

There is a little nook I like to photograph when I visit Carmel that has one of the best painting views, in my opinion. I have to scramble underneath a bridge, get snagged by a few blackberry bushes, and end up crouching precariously on the edge of steep cliff -- but the view of overlapping cypress trees and dramatic rock formations is totally worth it.

The view of the Columbia River Gorge from Crown Point is one of the most beautiful views of Oregon that I have ever experienced. When I was there, I met a man from Portland who said he drove out every week to see the sunset from Crown Point. From the 180-degree sunset I experienced, I can see why!

Parc Monceau is the most beautiful park I visited while in Paris. Here, I understood why the impressionists painted predominantly in hues of blue and green. The lush gardens and quiet pond around the ancient-looking colonnade transported me back to a simpler time, a peaceful time, when spending a day in the gardens with one's friends was the ordinary thing to do. This painting captures that feeling of peace for me.

Painting water lily pads is a study in contrasts. The lily pads reflect a muted version of the sky's color overhead, while the water reflects the shadows of the trees as well as the sky. When sky-lit water lilies appear against a reflected shadow, there is a beautiful contrast of color and shape. Gentle ripples add interesting effects to play with as well.

Her paintings immediately catch the eye because of their vibrant colors and expressive brush strokes. She creates her landscapes with a limited palette of only 5 colors, and using these 5 primary colors she pre-mixes her entire palette (over a hundred individual hues) before she ever picks up a brush. Next, she applies the paint with a confident, experienced hand, placing the paint exactly where it belongs on the canvas, and trying not to over any part of the canvas more than once. This unique method of painting in oils, without any layering, creates a stained glass or mosaic effect in her paintings. The final result is a vibrant painting that captures the landscapes she loves.
