The Art of George Buchanan

"Overpass In Late September"

oil on linen, 16" x 20"

This was painted in the fall, just before the Greensboro, Urban Loop in NC was completed.

I most appreciate those cold fronts that come in late summer and early fall, finally bringing relief to the summer heat and humidity. These fronts can cause fantastic clouds and a spotlighting sun. This painting is my best attempt to show those weather attributes!

"Sparkles On A Lake"

Greensboro, NC has many beautiful parks with lakes. I’ve always been captivated by light and how it changes my mood with the effects of the ever-changing atmosphere. I love the sublime feeling that I associate with sunlight on clear water. It’s a challenge to paint a believable rendition of this effect. I’m happy with how this turned out.

As a child growing up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia,  I became most impressed with the springtime storms. I'm still attempting to capture the scale and movement of the atmosphere.

"Albemarle Sound"

oil on linen, 12" x 24"

This expresses the tranquility of bright sunlight on the water, almost a glare.

"Apparitions At Dawn"

A rendering of the sunrise on the sound side of the Outter Banks at Duck, NC. I find this to be the best time of day to see the figures in the trees.
