A child in blue stands close by, basket in hand or waiting to receive. The garden around them is alive with color, thick greens broken by patches of yellow and violet where flowers or fallen fruit catch the light. Sinicki worked the foliage with a loaded brush, building the tree canopy in overlapping strokes of emerald, sap green, and touches of ochre. The light comes from above and slightly behind, filtering through the leaves and throwing the figures into warm relief against the cooler shadows of the undergrowth. The sky, where it shows through the branches, is a pale blue edged with cream. This is a large canvas, 29 by 23 inches, and the scale gives the brushwork room to breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRené Sinicki (born 1910, French) worked as a painter through the middle and later decades of the 20th century, producing figurative and landscape subjects in an impressionist and post-impressionist style. He painted garden scenes, figures in landscape, and rural subjects with a free, confident handling of oil paint. Sinicki belongs to a generation of French painters who continued working in the plein air tradition well into the postwar period, favoring direct observation and natural light over the abstraction that dominated the Parisian gallery scene. His work appears occasionally at auction and in private collections in France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GalerieClub Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57228426182988,"sku":"170","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/4911\/3420\/files\/Signed_impressionist_oil_painting_of_fruit_picking_scene_by_Ren_Sinicki_1970s_French_figurative_landscape_with_woman_and_child_in_garden_framed.png?v=1779118414","url":"https:\/\/galerieclub.com\/products\/sinicki-fruit-picking-impressionist-oil-canvas-framed-1970s","provider":"GalerieClub Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
