Description

The simplest definition of a seascape is that it is a picture of the sea but in the art world, a seascape is a photograph, painting, or other work of art which depicts the sea, in other words an example of marine art. Typically marine art includes ships or lighthouses, rocky shorelines and other such identifying characteristics. For example, Winslow Homer's "Summer Squall" depicts high waves during a storm against a rocky foreground.

During the 17th century in a period called the Dutch Golden Age, maritime painting was highly valued for its shift to a low - sea level - view of battles or calm seas. Vroom's paintings typify the genre at that time. English, French and Russian Romanticism also featured marine paintings such as Aivazofsky's "The Ninth Wave." Seascapes and marine art were among the most popular paintings and lithographs during the 19th century and a number of American painters earned their fame during this period - Edward and Thomas Moran, J. Buttersworth, A. Jacobsen, and J.G. Tyler among many others.

"Flow with life's currents. . . Dare to ride on bold waves of change. . . out to uncharted waters . . .
For there will always be singers on the shore to welcome you back to the safe arms of Earth . . ."
Kristin Zambucka

After the Sea Ship by Walt Whitman

After the sea-ship, after the whistling winds,
After the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes,
Below, a myriad myriad waves hastening, lifting up their necks,
Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship,
Waves of the ocean bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,
Waves, undulating waves, liquid, uneven, emulous waves,
Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,
Where the great vessel sailing and tacking displaced the surface,
Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean yearnfully flowing,
The wake of the sea-ship after she passes, flashing and frolicsome
Under the sun.
A motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments,
Following the stately and rapid ship, in the wake following.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Thank you for your interest in my artwork. I am a western New York based artist with a passion for the sea and a deep love for the natural world around me. If you would like to see more, my full portfolio can be found at http://lianne-schneider.artistwebsites.com. If you enjoy my art works, please feel free to share this link with friends or share on your social networks by pushing the Pinterest, FB, Google+, Twitter or SU Buttons! Thank you! The Fine Art America Watermark will NOT appear on the finished product.

This painting, as with most of my digital paintings, is an ORIGINAL work of art created entirely on a Wacom tablet using a number of different painting programs and various genres of painting styles overlaid upon each other, much the same as the old printing process of chromolithography. In this case, the reference image is a photo in the public domain courtesy of USGS.

Because the final creations are entirely digital in nature they are considered to be original art work, not reproductions. According to the International Association of Fine Art Digital Print Makers (IAFADP), "An original digital print is not based upon using original artwork outside of the computer. The artist may use elements as source materials, such as photographs, drawings or other appropriated images (those in the public domain), but THE FINAL FORM OF THE WORK EXISTS ONLY IN THE COMPUTER AND AS THE FINAL PRINT OR AS AN EDITION OF PRINTS." Furthermore, according to ArtBusiness.com, there is a distinct difference in value between a print/scan of an original watercolor, painting or photograph "...as opposed to original digital works of art created by digital artists entirely or in part on computers which ARE considered to be unique."

Please contact the artist, Lianne Schneider, directly if you purchase this image as a giclee print on canvas, framed or unframed. A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity is available for each canvas indicating title of the work, my name, date of creation, a thumbnail of the painting, the origin of original work if the painting is a derivative, the number of your print in the limited printing and a guarantee that the work will no longer be available to the public in a canvas format once a total of 25 canvas prints are sold from all potential vendors.
