About the Item
Ian Hargreaves' "Promise of Spring" is a breathtaking landscape that encapsulates the rejuvenating essence of the spring season. The canvas, a generous 80 x 120 cm, is dominated by a majestic mountain range whose peaks are still crowned with the remnants of winter's snow. The mountains are rendered in a series of textured brushstrokes, their blues and whites capturing the crispness of the alpine air.
In the foreground, a serene valley awakens to the early signs of spring. The varied greens of the grassy meadow are punctuated by the dark, rich tones of evergreen trees, suggesting the enduring life beneath the snow. A river meanders through the landscape, its surface reflecting the changing sky above, and a quaint wooden cabin hints at human presence, nestled unobtrusively within the expanse of nature.
The painting's title, "Promise of Spring," is embodied in the subtle warmth that permeates the scene. There is a sense of expectancy as the land transitions from the slumber of winter to the vitality of spring. This artwork is not just a visual feast; it is an invitation to witness the quiet unfolding of a new season, filled with hope and new beginnings.
Hargreaves' use of light is masterful, as he captures the luminosity of a spring morning, the kind that promises longer days and milder weather ahead. The detail with which the cabin and distant trees are painted adds a feeling of intimacy to the vastness, inviting the viewer to step into the landscape and share in the quiet joy of the season's change.
"Promise of Spring" is a testament to Hargreaves' skill in capturing the essence of a landscape and the mood of a season. It is a piece that would bring a breath of fresh air to any collection, inviting onlookers to pause and appreciate the perennial beauty of nature's rhythms.
The painting is signed by the artist and is presented as ready for display. It can be found for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and is also available for purchase online. This piece promises to be a conversation starter, offering a burst of creative energy to any space it inhabits.

- "Solebury Valley"By William Langson LathropLocated in Lambertville, NJSigned 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...Category
