This is a remarkable oil painting reproduction of a Martin Johnson Heade original Storm Clouds Over the Coast. Today it has been reproduced with exceptional use of color, detail and brush strokes. This oil painting has an inspiring setting that is sure to bring many admirers. Martin Johnson Heade was a prolific American painter known for his salt marsh landscapes, seascapes, portraits of tropical birds, as well as lotus blossoms and other still life images. His painting style and subject matter, while derived from the romanticism of the time, Heade's work was not widely known during his life time. However, his work did attract scholars, art historians, and collectors during the 1940s. He quickly became recognized as a major American artist. Frame Description: Victorian Gold Frame

From the beautiful Mediterranean to sunny California nothing is fresher than a glorious lemon.
One of America's most popular living artists, H. Hargrove was born Nicolo Sturiano in Marsala, Italy, in 1941. The gift of a box of colored pencils on his tenth birthday sparked his interest in art, but the pressures of economic practicality led him to pursue a degree in wine chemistry. In 1964, the young Italian immigrated to America and soon accepted a position with a winery in upstate New York.
Art, however, has been never far from Nicolo's personal agenda, and weekends would find him painting pictures of the weathered barns and covered bridges that dotted the landscapes of his newfound home. Before long, the winery's management became aware of his talent and decided to display his art in the public tasting room. And when visitors showed more interest in his paintings than the wine, Nicolo knew that it was time to turn his passion into his profession.
Having begun his career by painting Americana, Hargrove has expanded his repertoire to include delicately-detailed still lifes, spectacular European landscapes, and privately-commissioned portraits. His work is collected across America and in Europe, and his collector base is constantly expanding. Renowned as a compelling visual storyteller, a veritable poet with a paintbrush, H. Hargrove epitomizes the quintessential story of the immigrant who achieves success by following - and ultimately living - his American dream.
