Day at the Beach, 1993, original 36"x 48" oil on canvas.
This contemporary original oil painting sits in the private collection of a Houston art collector that wishes to remain anonymous. About the acquisition of this oil painting she says I was one of the lucky few to attend a 1992 invitation only viewing of Jim Stettner’s oil paintings. I immediately fell in love with his work and sensed he was destined for infamy. Since I am in the habit of commissioning artists to create oil paintings specifically for me and I am always in the market for abstract contemporary oil canvas paintings with real staying power, I approached Jim with the idea of a seascape. This original oil painting is a true classic; it is equally suited to both contemporary and traditional interiors. He was successful in translating my painting idea of a seascape into a cheerful underwater scene full of movement.
