Talented Stapleton?s print entitled ?A Summer Wish? is a marvelously lush impressionist landscape. A woman and a young boy, in Victorian garb, stand along a bridge arcing over a steady river. The bridge?s trellis is dripping with flowers and vines and either side of the bridge is thick with plantlife- all painted in an impressionistic manner. Volumes of small brush strokes and shapes come together to build density and depth. The composition is filled with varying shades of violet, especially in the water and the trees in the background which recede into the distance due to the cool blue-violet tones. Shades of green saturate the areas of flourishing vegetation giving amazing life to the landscape. The soft sunlight filtering through the trees gives the scene a dreamy and serene quality, as if the figures are on the bridge really are looking out along the river and making a wish, perhaps for a longer summer.
This poster print was made in 1989 for a Stapleton Exhibition at Gallery 121 in SOHO, New York as printed along the bottom border of the piece. The print has been framed in a thin gold-toned wood frame that brings the measurements of the piece to 23 ¼? x 29 1/8.? It is really a wonderfully rich painting that would be an affordable addition to any collection of impressionist landscape paintings and prints.
