Inscribed "Best Wishes Lois Griffel". Signed copies rarely offered. In Painting the Impressionist Landscape, Lois Griffel, the current director of The Cape Cod School of Art and an accomplished artist in her own right, explores and illustrates Hawthornes philosophy and theories about color and light, enabling artists at every level of ability and experience to apply his insights to their own work. The first part of the book, Fundamentals of Color and Light, elaborates on the circumstances and individuals that contributed to the development of impressionism. The author then outlines the progression of the study of color and light that is covered in detail later in the book, from simple block studies the most effective way to learn to use pure color to express the effects and quality of light through the more complex rounded forms in still lifes and portraits, to the most challenging forms intrinsic to landscape. Griffel then discusses the essentials of color its terms, the impressionist palette, and color mixing as well as how established color theory expresses and influences the impressionist approach. The second part of the book, Impressionism in Practice, takes readers through a series of explorations that guides them toward a mastery of the impressionist landscape. Griffel begins by itemizing the materials that artists need to prepare for painting outdoors and describing how the light of the setting affects color within the context of a composition. The detailed chapters on the studies from sunny day and cloudy day blocks, to still lifes and portraits, culminating in landscapes are all structured to lead readers through each step, enabling them first to evaluate, then eventually realize in their own painting, Hawthornes enlightening perceptions about capturing the radiance of nature's light in art. Beautifully illustrated with the art of the author, her colleagues at the artists colony in Provincetown, and selections by Monet, Sargent, and Hawthorne himself, Painting the Impressionist Landscape is a lively and informative guide to expressing light as color in art. Ms. Griffel has been featured in articles in The Artist's Magazine, The Boston Globe, Cape Cod Life Magazine, Cape Cod Magazine, American Art Review and The NY Times and her paintings graced the cover of American Artist Magazine twice. In the 25th anniversary edition of Cape Cod Life Magazine, she received the honor of being included in the list of "the 400 most influential people in the history of Cape Cod, past and present." Lois Griffel recently received the honor of becoming a Master Signature Artist of the American Impressionist Society. This award has only been given to 15 artists in the United States.…

About the Author
Lois Griffels lifelong interest in art began at the age of five, when she first entertained neighborhood children with her drawings and paintings. She discovered early in her career that she enjoyed teaching and attended Southern Connecticut State College in order to receive her bachelor of science degree in education. Later, while making her living as a portrait painter, she enrolled at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design in New York, where she studied with many outstanding artists, including Everett Raymond Kinstler and Harvey Dinnerstein. Her introduction in the early 1970s to Henry Hensche, Charles Hawthornes protégé, led to her in-depth study and practice of the impressionist theory of painting. As director and instructor at The Cape Cod School of Art, it gives her great joy to combine her loves of teaching and painting, and to share them with enthusiastic students. Ms. Griffel has had a number of one-person exhibitions throughout New England, and has been included in invitational exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Carmel, California. She holds workshops in landscape, portrait, and figure painting throughout the northeast.
