Fine Landscape Art inspired by scenic Woodside, CA
on Nov 08 by alinquist55Woodside California
is well known for it’s landscapes, impressionism, and plein air artwork. Which has been inspired by the visual beauty of the bay area’s nature, flowers, and hills and deep gorges. Combined with all the rivers, tributaries and streams that run off of the San Francisco bay, it is hard for any artist to resist recreating these natural scenic landscapes in oil on canvas.
California has also seen many fine art dynasties, that were born from this area. The Age of Exploration, to the Golden Age of Landscape Painting. Along with that, the influence of European Art – which inevitably formed the mass of fine artists in Woodside, CA. These artists have found numerous art genres in which to paint in from contemporary to traditional fine art, painting, and prints. This large volume of art has caused an explosion of fine art galleries in Woodside, CA. Including the San Francisco Art Association, which was formed to promote the appreciation and conservation of fine art.
Due to the major demand of art, and plein-air artists, a major college for fine art and painting was built for the bay area, called the California College of the Arts. It’s just a short, yet scenic as the landscape paintings are, drive south on interstate 280 from San Francisco to Woodside, CA. in San Mateo County.
This exclusive Bay area college has well lit large painting studios, multiple campus galleries that feature art exhibitions each month. Most of the artwork from these exhibits is eventually featured in major and prestigious art exhibitions like the ones at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
