Chuck Rosenthal's Landscapes
Though landscapes are not his most common subject for paintings, Chuck Rosenthal excels. From Clearwater, Florida, the artist more often paints people and still life, but his landscapes are definitely worth seeing.
Landscapes of Florida are most often depicted in his paintings. Outstanding and radiant colors are his signature style. In his landscapes, you can see that glowing Florida sun reflected in the grasses, building, trees and water - brilliant oranges and yellows that would warm up any room.
"Bellaire Beach" is a painting not actually of a beach, but of a glowing stately Bellaire home possibly as seen from the beach. The home is a typical Florida villa type of architecture, with perfect landscaping, grasses and palms. What makes the painting enchanting is the reflection of the light on the building - those radiant shades of orange and yellow.
Not a common subject for a landscape painting, "Florida Waterworld" shows wetlands with a big white house in the background. Even the grasses growing in the wetlands reflect that glorious Florida sun. Although most people would not think of such a marshy, boggy land as a place they would wish to paint, Rosenthal makes it appealing and a place you would want to visit.
"Houses on the Marshland" also depicts wetlands with white houses in the background. Again the shimmering oranges and yellows make this painting a showpiece.
In another of Rosenthal's landscape paintings you see a lake reflecting the sun and surrounds, autumn trees and the characteristic white Florida houses in the background. This one is called "Water's Edge." The painting emphasizes the beauty of nature in the foreground, leaving the man-made houses in the background.
When you look at a painting, do you ever wonder what the artist was thinking when he painted that artwork? Consider perhaps that the artist wonders what you are thinking when you view the painting. Unless you can talk to the artist in person and ask him, you will never know what he was thinking. The artist paints the picture, and puts it out there and invites the viewer to contribute to the painting with your own thoughts and ideas.
What was inspiring to the artist can also inspire you, the viewer.
