Impressionist Floral Oil Painting by Steve Wise

This original landscape oil painting on canvas is attributed to artist Steve Wise, as indicated by the signature in the lower left-hand corner. The piece demonstrates a vibrant Impressionist or Post-Impressionist style, utilizing a heavy impasto technique where the paint is applied in thick, visible, and textured strokes to create depth and movement. The composition features a dense field of white daisies or similar wildflowers set against a background of lush greens, teals, and blues, with a shadowed foreground in shades of deep lavender and violet. The use of color is dynamic, incorporating small pops of red and yellow to guide the eye. The painting is housed in a contemporary gold-toned wooden frame with a white linen-style inner liner, adding a classic touch to the presentation. The overall construction appears solid with no visible signs of paint loss, cracking, or restoration. The canvas tension seems consistent, and the palette suggests a modern creation, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. This work is a fine example of plein air-inspired floral art with high craftsmanship and a focus on the play of light and texture.
