About the Item
This oil on board is by the well-known California plein air artist Brian Blood (1962-). The painting depicts Point Lobos, just south of Monterey Bay. It measures 12 inches x 15 inches (16.5 inches x 19.5 inches framed.) The painting is composed of oil on board. It is unsigned, but on the reverse is a label indicating it is by Brian Blood. The title is also on the reverse. Judging by the price of $1,200 on the label, this painting was probably done in the 1990’s, perhaps when he was an instructor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, before Blood’s paintings became extremely popular and sought after. The painting and frame are in very good condition.
Brian Blood, a resident of Pebble Beach, California, is widely recognized as one of California’s most important plein air impressionist artists. He began his professional life as a graphic artist and art director in Boston, Massachusetts. Although Blood's career was successful, he was frustrated personally and realized he wanted to be a fine-art painter. A leap across the continent to California took him to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for both undergraduate and graduate studies. Blood was later an instructor at the Academy of Art University for 12 years.
From the 1990s, Brian Blood has been painting full time as well as conducting landscape painting classes at his alma mater. He also conducts ongoing workshops in his studio, and surrounding areas of Pebble Beach, California.
Blood has had his work featured in articles in Southwest Art Magazine (May 2002, and March 2005); Art of The West Magazine (March/April 2004); American Artist Magazine (January 2004); Plein Air Magazine (December 2005); and The Central Coast Journal (October 2005)

After graduation, Blood worked as a commercial artist and illustrator, but eventually decided to focus on fine art full-time. He began exhibiting his work in galleries and museums, and quickly gained a reputation as a leading painter of the American West. Blood's work is characterized by his use of vibrant colors and his ability to capture the beauty and majesty of the western landscape.

- "Solebury Valley"By William Langson LathropLocated in Lambertville, NJSigned lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...Category
