Framed Painting Kenneth Washburn San Carlos, California

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Tinker & Toad
Description

A nicely executed Oil on Board of San Carlos, California by American artist Kenneth L Washburn. Frame apeture 11.5" x 9.5".

Born in Franklinville, New York, in 1904, Kenneth Washburn earned both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Cornell University, and showed his dedication to the school’s arts program by teaching there from 1928 to 1950. Aside from a brief stay in Europe in 1927, Washburn’s early artistic style reflected his American training, with themes inspired by what he knew and loved most: the people and towns of central and western New York. This period also coincided with the onset of the Great Depression, but the subsequent creation of the Federal Arts Project enabled painters and sculptors to make ends meet through public art commissions. While Washburn’s position at Cornell certainly must have helped him weather these difficult times, in 1935 he also completed eight murals adorning the upper lobby walls of the Binghamton, New York, Post Office (now the Federal Building and Courthouse) featuring rural and industrial scenes of his home state, paintings that are still on display today.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Impressionist landscape painting emerged in the late nineteenth century, characterised by visible brushstrokes, open composition, and an emphasis on the accurate depiction of natural light and shifting atmospheric conditions.

These artworks typically feature oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen canvas or timber panels, housed within moulded wooden frames finished with gold leaf or metallic gesso.

Authentic oil paintings feature raised impasto textures, subtle brushstroke variations, natural age-related craquelure across the paint surface, and authentic oxidisation on the timber reverse and canvas backing.

Position the painting as a focal point above a sideboard or mantelpiece, allowing the warm earth tones and gilded frame to contrast against neutral or dark saturated wall finishes.

Dust the frame and paint surface lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical solvents, or damp cloths which can compromise the varnish layer and timber gilding.
