Bill Fletcher Oil Painting on Canvas Board "Summer Clouds"
Item Details
An oil painting on canvas board titled Summer Clouds by listed contemporary American artist Bill Fletcher. This work features a landscape with patches large trees, a dirt road veering to the left, and various terrains; a large cloudy blue sky hovers above and occupies about three-quarters of the picture plane. With loose painterly brushstrokes and dashes of thick pigment, the artist provides a very generalized impressionistic rendering of the subject. The painting is signed to the lower left and presented in a gold-tone wood frame with a repetitive relief design. A couple labels from Manny’s of Denver are present to the verso, along with handwriting that provides the title.
Based in Kentucky, Fletcher is mostly known for his landscape and still life paintings. Fletcher’s interest in drawing began through his adolescence education. While working in the Toxicology he still pursued his interest in drawing. In 1996, he began painting in oil, after attending workshops and studying with local artists. Fletcher’s work has been featured in Southwest Art, International Artist, and Keeneland Magazine.
