Description: For sale is a wonderful and very atmospheric Florida landscape painting by the artist, poet and author and lawyer Harold Putnam of Vero Beach, Florida. Putnam was a past president of the prestigious Copley Society of Boston Massachusetts. The Copley Society of Art is the oldest non-profit arts association in the United States, with a history dating back to 1879. This painting is oil on panel board. It is titled "Florida Sunrise". It features a wonderful expansive view out into Florida wetlands in what is probably the Indian River Lgoons area which is near Vero Beach where the artist created many paintings. The view is looking east towards the morning sun rising into a low hanging cloud line. Most likely a summer scene as all the trees and vegetation are in full green colorations. The sky is full of blues creams whites and pink hues with very energetic puffy clouds filling the atmosphere above. The landscape below is lush and full of lively vegetation giving way to watery channels cutting through the wetlands. Just a wonderful painting to gaze at all day. The artist first made this painting in 1981 but the inscription on the reverse shows he went back to the painting and re-painted it again in 1984. The thick paint in the sky suggests he may have changed the appearance of the sky line may have added the wonderful atmospheric clouds. There is an inscription with warm regards from the artist to the paintings previous and original owners. There is an area to the lower left that has surface paint loss and will need restoration. It might cost you $100 to have a restorer fill in the rubbed off paint. A rather easy job. We believe the artist initially signed and dated the painting there in 1981. He then went and re-painted this painting and signed and dated it in the lower right corner in 1984. (See all pics) Condition: The loss lower left as mentioned. Otherwise I'm good condition. The gallery frame with age appropriate wear to the surface but structurally fine. Measurements Framed - 30" x 42" Painting - 24" x 36" Harold Putnam was a member of the Fiorida Bar since 1957. He was professional artist, author, past president of the Copley Society of Boston and of the International Society of Marine Painters.
