Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Paul Boonaert (1946-)

Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Paul Boonaert (1946-) is a charming scene of the rural countryside of Belgium during Springtime.  Boonaert has aptly captured the quaintness of the small hamlet taking center stage, while presenting a realistic foreground that invites the viewer into the scene to walk along the banks of the creek and explore the area.  Exceptional detail and technique hint at a misty morning sunrise, with a church steeple blending into the background leading the eye up past the budding trees and the sky which is just beginning to show its classic blue color.  Survives in its original frame.
