This is a reproduction of “Cranes Take Off” of 1870 by Jozef Marian Chelmonski. After being taught drawing by his father, Jozef Chelmonski entered the Warsaw Drawing Class in 1867 when he was eighteen. He moved to Munich when he was twenty-two where he studied further with Polish painters there. In 1872 he toured Polish lands under Russian administration and painted mostly landscapes. He went to Paris three years later and became very popular. He returned to live out his days in Poland in 1887 and he died there in 1914. This masterpiece is in the National Museum in Krakow, Poland.

Kicker Rock by Troy Caperton, 2010
American / Caperton / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Kicker Rock” of 2010, an attempt to catch some of the grandeur of this natural wonder of the Galapagos Islands west of Ecuador, South America. The rock vaguely resembles a boot, hence the name. It is located off the coast of San Cristobal and is home to a large colony of birds.

Sunset over Mormon Lake, Original Print, 2009
American / Contemporary / Inspirational prints / Landscape - 1 year ago - troycapc
Mormon Lake is a beautiful natural area southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. We were told we must visit it at sunset to watch the herds of Elk come from the woods to the water. We found a hillside east of the lake as the afternoon ended, and we were amazed by the flocks of large birds around the lake waters. But we could not identify them. Then, we realized that they were not birds, but the Elk we had come to see. We were too far away and, with even our best binoculars, could not see them at all clearly. It was very frustrating and disappointing. And then the sunset began. We could see no details, but we could see the whole lake and mountains. This is my favorite image of a beautiful sunset over this lovely lake in northern Arizona. There are hundreds of Elk in the photo, but none that can be seen. Original photograph by Dennis Ciscel, presented with his cooperation and permission.
