Description
Peter Ellenshaw "September Song" Published Original Oil Painting on Canvas (1998). "September, or more correctly, autumn, is to me a rich and nostalgic time, full of vibrant color. I am reminded of the time, years ago, when I went to Vermont. It was a time when the color was truly a riot. When I returned home, my wife asked me what my impression was and if I would like to paint the countryside. I replied, half-jokingly, 'The color was too rich and vulgar!' I now think I was a fool to say this." Says legendary Hollywood visual effects artist and Fine Art painter Peter Ellenshaw (1913 - 2007) when his 1998 painting "September Song" was published as limited edition of Giclée prints. This gorgeous piece was rendered in oil on 30" x 48" stretched canvas, signed and dated by the artist in the lower left and again on the back of the canvas. It's an impressive painting framed to 41" x 59" - that's almost five feet!Ellenshaw's artistic career spanned more than seven decades. With well over 50 films to his credit, Peter would receive four Academy Award® nominations, taking home the coveted OSCAR® for his gorgeous matte paintings and stunning visual effects in Walt Disney's, Mary Poppins. Ellenshaw has received numerous awards from many prestigious institutions. Among them the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the American Film Institute in Chicago. In 1993 Ellenshaw was inducted into Disney's hall of fame program as an official Disney Legend. In 2017 Peter Ellenshaw was posthumously inducted in the Visual Effects Society's hall of fame. He also has the distinction of having his name appear in a window on Main Street in Disneyland an honor bestowed upon only a few who help create the magic. Beautiful works by Peter Ellenshaw decorate collections and galleries around the world.
The painting is in Fine condition. All frames are sold as-is. Photos are not representative of actual frame condition. "The palette of autumn is certainly a challenge, yet it gives one a wonderful chance to be selective in one's choice of color. I am the only one to blame if I didn't choose wisely in 'September Song'."
From the Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw Family Archive.
