AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an original plein air painting by Romanian artist Maria Postea, painted in Saint-Jovite, Quebec, Canada. Titled "Water Reflection in Saint-Jovite", the work was created in 2025 and completed outdoors over four days, with the landscape observed directly and the changing natural light captured throughout the painting process.

The spontaneous plein air approach allows the painting to retain the immediacy of direct observation and the subtle variations of natural light.
