"My Two Windows" Oil Painting on Canvas by Wesley Johnson
In this composition, Californian artist Wesley Johnson invites us to contemplative stillness. The abstract essence of this work flourishes into a living entity, enriched by a blend of colors that predominantly erupt in its core with the brilliance of vibrant diaphanous, nearly white hues.One can immerse oneself in the interplay between colors, shapes, Johnson’s brushstrokes' nervous energy, blending hues, and the varying thicknesses of the lines.The painting is framed, signed at the bottom left, and dated on the back of the canvas. A few words are added, perhaps a dedication and a postscript.A listed California painter, muralist, and teacher, Wesley Johnson was born in Ojai, California, in 1934 and educated at Ventura College and the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was also a pupil of Howard Warshaw and Andre L'Hote. The cubist style of Warshaw, combined with the airy and light feeling of impressionism and the abstraction of expression, influenced Johnson's painting style.
