Michael Bassis Fine Art

Two paintings to honor springtime. One is more recent, the other done 5 years ago. Which style do you prefer? To see all of my work visit: http://www.michaelbassis.com

When I was growing up, my family owned a small summer cottage in Stockbridge MA. It's an iconic New England village that was home to a number of interesting people - most notably Norman Rockwell in the '50's and Arlo Guthrie in the '60's. The town is situated in the Berkshire Mountains, as iconic as a landscape as Stockbridge is as a village, known particularly for the beauty of its colorful fall foliage. There was one particular scene I found so spectacular that it has been etched in my head ever since. I've tried to capture that image in "Misty River", the oil painting I'm giving away to celebrate the opening of my new website. If you haven't yet done so, I hope you will enter the drawing for this painting by clicking on this link: http://www.michaelbassis.com/new-website-giveaway
