Sylvan Deity
I wish I had a date for this Allyn Cox oil on canvas painting called Sylvan Deity.
For some reason it makes me think of Maxfield Parrish.
I'm a big Parrish fan, and I agree with yall's comments, and I add, that Parrish often used large vases as seen here as elements in his pictures-Dee Exx
Far different than the very formal mural of Diana and Actaeon. That mural and this painting of Sylvan Diety reveal the talent and range of Allyn Cox….:)
It does. Though the colours are far more muted then Parrish. The soft tones are beautiful making it ethereal.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the color tones, and it is indeed the ethereal element that makes me think of Parrish.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that detail. It makes sense.

ReplyDeleteYes, its quite different, and I did more than one check to insure the attribution was correct because it seems so different from his other work.
