A romantic oil on board new age impressionism painting by Award winning UK female Artist Denisa Mansfield in her unique style of painting called Dapillism, of lovers in a wooden row boat down the River Stour, painted from still life and imagination. Rowing boats have been present on the river Stour since the 1800's. Dedham Vale is a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Essex-Suffolk border in east England. The gentleman and the lady are depicted on a slow picturesque journey down the old River Stour, surrounded by nature and wildlife. This delightful painting is full of charm and textured small elegant brush strokes that almost look like embroidery, unique to Mansfields' signature style. A wonderful visual statement of a lovers tale. Comes in a fitted wooden ornate vintage frame with a beautiful floral motif, ready to hang.
 
An art movement pioneered by a meticulous and emotive technique invented by Denisa Mansfield, Dappling Impressionism—also known as Dapillism—reimagines the traditional Impressionist style through a unique method of layering small, deliberate dabs of paint. Each stroke is a tiny capsule of color, light, and texture, blending to create a harmonious mosaic that dances with vibrancy and movement. Dapillism seeks to capture the fleeting essence of a moment, weaving together an intricate tapestry of dappled light and dynamic energy. Unlike pointillism, which relies on precise dots, Dapillism thrives on the organic interplay of textured daps to evoke emotion and depth. It celebrates the intimate relationship between the artist, the brush, and the canvas, crafting a symphony of colour and form that is both personal and universal. Rooted in the Impressionist philosophy but driven by an innovative technique, Dapillism is a call to embrace the beauty of detail and the power of artistic intuition. It transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary—one dap at a time.
