Joy of Life – Working from Life

W. Truman Hosner

Painting Young Women Along the Beaches of Northern Michigan & California

“Hosner has mastered the techniques and approaches to paint outdoor light. This is evident simply by looking at his paintings.

To my mind, nothing is as important as light in a painting and it is consistently the first element I look for when viewing a painting. There is no mistaking an improperly lit work of art. By contrast, there is no clearer
sign of a master at work than the manner with which they handle light be it indoors or outdoors. So it is with my friend Truman Hosner, who is truly a Master of Light.”

Act of Seeing – Working from Life – Book 2

W. Truman Hosner

100 Paintings – Impressionism for Our Times

“This is a major book of landscape art by my friend Truman Hosner. A remarkable collection of his works I find important for many reasons. I’ve observed Truman’s exquisite landscapes for many years and never know just what to expect from this master. Each work is brilliantly original and filled with life in so many ways. Truman is joyfully dedicated to working Plein Air, bringing his subjects to their genuine presence. Each has its own uniqueness; sometimes from a surprising point of view and always revealing its particular spirit.”
