about Summer Solace

Jon Carsman's rendering of a quaint late 19th century or early 20th century home highlights his mastery of American Realism.

Identifiable not by naturalistic quality or adherance to visual likeness, Jon Carsman's use of American Realism focuses on authenticity and originality when conveying subject matter, rather than an emphasis on visual beauty or detail. Capturing the essence of the home, the artist relies on contrast and flat expanses of color to create an inviting, serene view of a typical American house.
