John Felsing

Far From Babylon, Oil on linen, 60 x 48 1/8 inches

A master at capturing the more ethereal aspects of nature, he creates haunting landscapes that reveal the fleeting effects of light and color glimpsed only at twilight. The inspiration for Felsing’s introspective oils is firmly rooted in the lakes, streams, and woodlands. His vision of nature is rendered in muted colors and soft contours that evoke a quiet, contemplative mood. Yet his landscapes often contain a suggestion of mystery. (from pinterest)

John Fabian Carlson (1874–1945) was a Swedish-American painter known for his impressionistic and tonalist landscapes. Born in Sweden, he immigrated to the United States as a child and later became a key figure in American landscape painting.

Early Life & Education

His work is characterized by a soft, atmospheric quality, with a focus on tonal harmony rather than fine detail. He often used a muted palette with subtle gradations of color and light, capturing the quiet beauty of nature.

He was also an influential teacher and wrote Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting, a widely respected book on the subject that is still in use today.

His paintings are considered a transition from impressionism to modernism. His primary subjects were boats and harbors in which the colors and shapes on the canvas took precedence over the exactness of the objects. Hunt was active among the Southern California group of Impressionist plein air painters and a founding member of the Laguna Art Museum.

Spring Blossoms, Montclair, c.1891

George Inness (1825 – 1894) was an influential American landscape painter. His work was influenced, in turn, by that of the old masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, by the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness' maturity. Often called "the father of American landscape painting," Inness is best known for these mature works that not only exemplified the Tonalist movement but also displayed an original and uniquely American style.

Joseph Mallord William "J. M. W." Turner, RA (23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851) was a British Romantic landscape painter, water-colourist, and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light" and his work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism.
