Axel Schovelin, Summer’s Day In Zealand oil painting how to capture a traditionalThis joyous landscape painting by Danish artist Axel Schovelin (1827 1893) depicts a beautiful view in Zealand with undulant scenery and picturesque woodland. On our right, a mother and her two sons are resting by an old track where several sheep graze. Beyond them, a glimpse of distant hills, which are gently painted in lighter values. While in the foreground, a stream runs horizontally by our feet the abundant foliage rendered with precision.
