Carl Valente's natural artistic talent was recognized at the age of 17, when he won a prestigious national art contest. Using oil as an exclusive medium, American impressionist Carl Valente recreates and captures the England of storybooks, movies, and archetypal memories, the England of thatched-roof cottages and neatly trimmed hedgerows, or clotted cream and hot buttered scones, of sheep filled commons, and tidy little farms, and most of all, the charming elegant village.
