"Sunlight's Embrace on Thousand Islands" stands as a remarkable fusion of plein air painting and oil techniques. Experience art professor Yan Sun's skill as he breathes life into the Thousand Islands, right on-site.
As your eyes travel across the canvas, you can't help but be drawn to the shimmering waters and the boats in the harbor. They take center stage, offering a momentary glimpse of the idyllic Thousand Islands.
Plein air painting is more than a technique; it's a profound art form, capturing nature in its raw, unfiltered beauty. Yan Sun's deep connection with the harbor scene is evident in his work, as he skillfully translates the essence of the Thousand Islands bathed in the gentle afternoon sun onto the canvas.
"Sunlight's Embrace on Thousand Islands" stands as a testament to Yan Sun's plein air expertise, showcasing the beauty of nature in its most genuine form. This work speaks directly to the heart of Kingston, a city graced by the serene shores of Lake Ontario, nestled at the confluence of the St. Lawrence rivers.
