Jon Crane Handsigned & Numbered Limited Edition Giclee on Paper:"A Delicate Balance"Item #: CR-115Title: A Delicate Balance Medium:Giclée on Paper Edition:Limited Edition S/N Giclee on Paper 300/ 30 AP Image Dimensions:9" x 12.5" From the Artist: I have always been a person repelled by the cities, preferring to spend my time in rural areas. I paint the simple landscapes because that is where I feel at peace. My vision of hell is a week in New York City. Most of my landscapes come from actual places that I have run across in my travels through the rural parts of America. In recent years I have been drawn to the Amish areas because of their simple way of life.Occasionally I work on location, but most of my painting is done in my studio at Mystic, or on the road in Ed, our motorhome. Because of time constraints, I work almost entirely from photographs I have taken. It would be much more romantic to set up every day for a month in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa, but not very practical. Most of the scenes are painted much as I found them. After all, they were put there for a higher purpose than mine. Some artists are blessed with the ability to create wonderful works from their minds. I have to resort to stealing from the natural world around me.As an artist, I am supposed to be able to explain the meaning of my work. When asked to do this, I think of Mozart being asked to explain a composition that he had just played. His response was to sit down and play it again. If the meaning of my work needs to be explained, I’ll leave that up to the academics. After all, that is what they do. As for me, I’d rather talk about fly-fishing.I plan to continue sharing the world around me as I see it to the best of my God given abilities for as long as I can. I hope that my work will bring a little peace and well being to a world that could certainly use a little. I hope that you enjoy this exhibit of my work. If not, that is O.K. too. That’s what art is all about. Description: All Prints are sale priced everyday! Professionally Frame any print from our dealer gallery starting at an additional $199 and receive free shipping!
