First Snow

"First Snow"
Original Oil Painting by
2015
40 x 26 in
ORIGINAL SOLD
About the Painting
On day five of a recent backpacking trip through Zion National Park, it snowed almost all day, the clouds occasionally parting to expose brilliant blue skies overhead. The last leg of the journey from Kolob Canyon to the East Gate involved steep, winding switchbacks that cut narrowly along the steep cliffs. The rocks were beautifully cut into stair shapes when the going got too steep. This painting captures that adventure and grandeur of the moment.

This painting was created on a gallery-depth canvas with the painting continued around the edges. The painting will arrive in a beautiful hardwood floater frame, ready to hang.

Exhibited: St George Art Museum, Utah, in a solo exhibition celebrating the National Park's centennial: Erin Hanson's Painted Parks, 2016.

Style: "Open Impressionism" is a new style of painting developed by American artist Erin Hanson. The style is characterized by short, impasto brush strokes that are applied without layering, creating a mosaic or stained-glass appearance to the paintings. The paintings are created with a limited pallette of colors, applied without blending or mixing upon the canvas, which adds a dimension of texture to each brush stroke. Inspired by classic impressionism, pointillism, and post-impressionism, Erin Hanson continues the tradition of impressionism into the modern day with her colorful and vivacious landscape paintings.


Shipping & Returns
Shipping and returns details for original artwork:

A representative of The Erin Hanson Gallery will arrange delivery of your Erin Hanson original oil painting. We will ensure someone is home to receive the artwork before shipping it out. Erin Hanson usually sells half of her original paintings while they are still drying on the dry rack. If your painting is still drying, we will let you know when it is expected to be fully dry and ready to ship (about six to eight weeks after the painting's completion.)

We guarantee you will love your Erin Hanson artwork! If you aren't happy with your painting for any reason, we accept exchanges or refunds within thirty days.

If your original oil painting is being displayed at a museum or gallery exhibition, you may still purchase the piece online, and we will ship your painting as soon as the show is over.

Note on varnishing: Erin’s paintings take six to eight weeks to dry, at which time we apply a retouching varnish, which allows the painting to complete the curing process while having a layer of protection against dirt and scuffs. The full curing process for an impasto oil painting takes at least two years. We are happy to assist in applying a final finishing varnish to your Erin Hanson oil painting once it has been dry for at least two years. Here is more information on how to care for your original oil painting.

About 3D Textured Replicas

Erin Hanson's groundbreaking 3D Textured Replicas provide the texture necessary to experience the full impact and movement of her artwork.

Making giclees obsolete with the greatest technological leap since the colored printer, Erin Hanson's 3D Textured Replicas are the closest thing to an original painting. Our replicas are printed using a UV ink that dries hard like acrylic paint. This allows 18 layers of ink to be printed one on top of the other, and we meticulously build up the texture to match the exact brush strokes of the original oil painting, using an ultra-high-resolution 3-dimensional scan of the original oil painting.

Erin Hanson's 3D Textured Replicas are almost indistinguishable from the original painting from a short distance away, capturing the texture of every brush stroke and weave of the canvas, as well as the vibrant colors of the original oil painting. These are the most realistic painting reproductions available with today's 3D scanning and printing technology.

Erin devoted three years to perfecting the technology of 3D art printing in a quest to create a fine art print that captured her vibrant colors and reproduced the texture crucial to her artistic vision. The rhythms of texture in her luscious, impasto oil paintings communicate the movement and joy she finds in nature.

Limited Edition: We offer Limited Edition 3D Textured Replicas in the same size as the original oil painting, as well as several other sizes, and we offer the same luxury framing options we use for Erin's original oil paintings. The Limited Edition 3D Textured Replicas are limited to an edition of 100. (Once we have printed 100 replicas of this painting, we won't print any more.)

Collector Feedback:

"Oh my goodness! I love it!! The 3-D process is amazing—it looks like an original because of the light catching the texture of the brushstrokes. The colors are radiant. I debated about getting the smaller size, but I’m so glad I went with the larger. It is the right proportion for this hallway wall that joins my main room with the dining/kitchen area. I’m absolutely thrilled!" Provo, UT

"The 3D print is so detailed we can hardly tell the difference from an original Erin Hanson oil painting. Amazing technology to be able to capture the depth of texture in this print." Encinitas, CA

"The print is now hanging, it is beautiful, if one didn't know it's a 3D print you would swear it is the painting itself. The colors are so vibrant. It is night and day between 3D print and a regular print. If you can't afford an original a 3D is the way to go." North Hollywood, CA

About Canvas Prints

Erin Hanson's canvas prints have the illusion of texture, and they accurately reproduce the brilliant colors of Erin's originals. Canvas prints are printed directly onto canvas rolls using our state-of-the-art Epsom printer. These prints do not have texture applied -- they are flat prints, but they accurately capture the illusion of texture because of the shadows cast by the paint ridges during photography. The canvas prints come rolled, stretched, or framed and ready to hang.

Canvas Roll: A rolled canvas print arrives in a cylindrical shipping tube. The print will have a black border and some extra canvas to allow for stretching onto 1-1/2” stretcher bars. You can take this rolled print to your local framer for stretching and framing.

Unframed Canvas: Erin Hanson stretched canvas prints arrive pre-stretched onto 1-1/2” stretcher bars. The sides of the print are printed black. This print can be hung un-framed, as-is, or you may take it to your local framer and have it framed in a floater frame.

Framed Canvas: The framed canvas prints are stretched onto 1-1/2” stretcher bars, and then framed in your choice of floater frame (white, black, gold, or silver.) The floater frames are 3/8” wide, and there is a gap around the print, adding a total of 1-1/2” inches to the overall dimensions of the print.

About Erin

ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a teenager, she apprenticed at a mural studio where she worked on 40-foot-long paintings while selling art commissions on the side. After being told it was too hard to make a living as an artist, she got her degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Afterward, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to return to her love of painting and create one new painting every week.

She has stuck to that decision, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. Erin Hanson’s style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is taught in art schools worldwide. With millions of followers, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of impressionism, inspiring thousands of other artists to pick up the brush.
