This captivating painting beckons viewers to embark on a journey along a straight path that cuts through the heart of the verdant landscape, guiding them towards an unknown horizon and inviting exploration into the depths of nature's embrace. At the center of the composition, a path made of stones stretches like a ribbon of discovery, leading the viewer on a linear journey through the vibrant forest. Flanked by rows of majestic trees, their branches reaching towards the sky in silent reverence, the path acts as a conduit for the viewer's imagination, drawing them deeper into the mysteries of the wilderness. On either side of the path, the forest unfolds in a riot of color and texture, with vibrant green leaves shimmering in the dappled sunlight. The dense foliage creates a sense of intimacy and enclosure, enveloping the viewer in a cocoon of natural beauty and tranquility. As the eye follows the path towards the distant horizon, the trees part to reveal an opening framed by branches—an invitation to venture beyond the known and explore the hidden depths of the forest. Here, the landscape seems to blur into the realm of the unknown, leaving space for the viewer's imagination to roam free and unhindered. Above, the bright blue sky stretches infinitely, its vast expanse punctuated by the branches of the towering trees. The sun casts a warm, golden glow upon the landscape, illuminating the topmost leaves with a radiant hue—a testament to the transformative power of light in the natural world. "Patterns of Forest Light" captures Hazel Thomson's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow in the wilderness, inviting viewers to pause and marvel at the timeless beauty of the forest. Through her masterful brushwork and keen attention to detail, Thomson creates a sense of wonder and awe, transporting viewers to a realm where nature reigns supreme and the possibilities are endless. This captivating artwork serves as a reminder of the inherent beauty and majesty of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the timeless allure of the forest. "Patterns of Forest Light" is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary in Chelsea and online, providing art enthusiasts with the opportunity to bring the essence of this enchanting landscape into their homes and hearts, and to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery amidst the vibrant colors and tranquil beauty of the forest. Artist Biography: Hazel Thomson is an acclaimed artist whose creations grace galleries worldwide. Her artistic approach transcends mere painting, adopting a sculptural essence. With deliberate strokes of a palette knife, she builds layers of paint, shaping her canvases with meticulous care. Each mark is a deliberate choice, manipulated further as the paint dries, revealing the essence of her subjects. In her artistry, Hazel conveys a profound message, celebrating not just the aesthetic allure of trees but also their pivotal role in shaping our planet's climate future. Her oeuvre blends elements of realism, contemporary flair, and impressionistic charm, resulting in a captivating fusion of styles. Hazel's artistic vision extends beyond mere representation; she endeavours to encapsulate the essence of all four seasons and the myriad moods of different times of the day within her landscapes. Through her brushstrokes, she invites viewers into a realm of tranquility and introspection, allowing them to immerse themselves fully in the scene, experiencing the calming embrace of nature firsthand. “My painting style has developed over the years, mostly through experiments with oils. I paint with a palette knife and brush, and my work has three narratives: realism, contemporary and impressionistic. Look at my work closely and you will understand why it is all three styles. I would describe my process of painting as almost sculptural, as I purposely add thick layers of paint and marks with a pallet knife, then take away or add more paint over these marks when dry, as the scene starts to take shape. This gives my work a textural and realist look and feel, so the viewer can be lost momentarily within the painting. I have studied for years observing our environment through my passion for trees, from the smallest detail, of an acorn right up to a complete forest changing over the years. This gives me an intuitive instinct on how to paint trees in all their beauty and the Spirit of life they bring to the natural world. I am passionate and conscious that my main aim in showing my work is to send out a message of not only the beauty of trees, but in all our environment in the world we need to respect nature for the future stability of the climate of our world.”- Hazel Thomson

  • "Solebury Valley"
    By William Langson Lathrop
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Signed lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...
