Description
This handsome original oil painting on canvas by the noted Seattle artist Nell Wheeler (1917-2007) depicts a glorious scene high in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. A native of Alberta, Canada, she became a successful, well-known artist. She loved nature, painting beautiful scenery like this painting as well as scenes of downtown Seattle.
Dogwoods and pine trees flank a path that leads toward a river with a footbridge. Towering above are the the snow covered peaks and slopes of the Cascade Mountain Range. Mrs. Wheeler used impasto to great advantage on this scene. Layers of green oil paint on the trees, white on the dogwoods and snow and brown on the ground make the brush strokes and knife strokes more visible, lending a three dimensional effect.
The painting is edged in a tan linen mat, rough in texture, surrounded by a brown wooden frame that has had black stain rubbed randomly into the grain which gives it a woodsy look that perfectly complements the painting. The artist stapled her business card on the back, which is typical for her works. On her card, her telephone number starts with CH 3. The two letter prefix began in 1958 in Seattle, so the painting was done later than that date. We feel sure it's from the 1970's.
The actual image is 23 1/4 inches by 19 1/4 inches, while the framed size is 29 inches high, 25 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Weighing 5 1/2 pounds, the painting, frame and mat are all in very good condition, with no flaws we could find. With a wire installed on the back, it's ready to hang. It's both highly decorative and an excellent investment.
