The artwork titled “New Dams in Meadow” was created by Neil Welliver in 1984. It belongs to the art movement known as Contemporary Realism and is a landscape genre painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 87.6 by 85.1 cm, and it is currently located at the Alexandre Gallery in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork depicts a serene natural scene, where a cluster of trees, predominantly birches, stand by a reflective body of water. The reflections cast by the trees in the still water below add a dimension of symmetry to the composition. Vibrant shades of green, orange, and brown signify the change of seasons, possibly transitioning into autumn. In the background, one can observe carefully constructed dams made presumably by beavers, with detailed striations of the wood and branches artfully woven together. The foreground showcases a portion of a meadow with lush greenery, with a small stream of blue water meandering through it. The meticulous attention to detail and color in the artwork demonstrates Welliver’s mastery in capturing the essence and tranquility of the natural environment.
