Blues at Yosemite 16X20 Oil on Canvas - Hyacinth Paul

Original Oil on Canvas by Hyacinth Paul. The National Parks in the US are a wonderful place for artistic expression in any media. Blues at Yosemite is the first study of a photograph taken by me good friend Dr. Prashanth Kumar. I will be working on the final painting and it will be posted when it is complete. Meanwhile this is the first of two studies of the photograph. I was lucky enough to visit Yosemite with my good friend Rimi Nayak the designer extraordinaire from India. We covered 8500 miles last summer through several national parks. The beauty of our world excites me and make me want to showcase it for our future generations. I was hit by the travel bug when I was 7. My dad told me I have gypsy dust on my feet as I have been travelling since I was 56 days old! I truly hope that you will take the road less traveled and leave your footprints for all to see!

My blog is really a collection of my thoughts on the effect of  color in art on the health and well being of society.  This initial study  will help me get seed data upon which other studies will be based upon.  If you fill out this questionnaire and send it in to [email protected] you will be entered to win an original painting of mine on November 30, 2020.  If you sign up for my monthly newsletter you can stay abreast of news pertaining to my study, my art and some ideas that form food for thought.

The predominant colors in this artwork are blue, brown and green in its various shades with a touch of white.  The size of the original artwork is relevant for a cozy nook or a small area in a room.  It will do very well if it is framed in a handsome frame.  If you prefer a larger size, I recommend buying a print from the site that allows for purchasing several items not just prints.  Also, sales of any of the items help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as 100% of the profits are donated until Jun 5, 2020 and 25% thereafter.

In order to see the original artworks visit my gallery at https://frontstreet.art/collections/hyacinth-paul-1 Hyacinth Paul Gallery is located at 1001 East Second Street, Building 100, 3rd Floor, Dayton, Ohio 45402 Ph No. (937)829-4652 email: [email protected] https://frontstreet.art/

Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research.  I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017.  This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator.  It is run by highly competent scientists and physicians who I have personally met.  They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime, and I agree.  Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in 1960, the year I was born, was 3%.  Today it is 94%. 

The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap.  I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer.  We are losing many more as we speak whose lives have been cut short by these dreadful diseases.  Just within the last week we have lost two of the greats, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, to this deadly disease.  Every life is precious.  It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries.  We are the product of such discoveries.  We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us.  I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was a young, bright-eyed, enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours a day toward research.  So I ask you unabashedly, on behalf of these scholars who toil, to help find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
