About the Item
Artist Comments
Fully bloomed white roses flourish in the bright sunlight. Resting on a bed of lush green leaves, the soft edges of their petals display their delicate nature. The grisaille underpainting and the glaze layers add luminous and vibrant touches to the piece. For artist Hilary Gomes, this is a metaphor for life and love.
About the Artist
Artist Hilary Gomes draws inspiration from her visits to Filoli Gardens to create a series of sunlit rose paintings. "Capturing the ephemeral beauty of blooming flowers serves as a metaphor for life, love, and family," says Hilary. She incorporates traditional French and Flemish methods with contemporary techniques to express transient nature and emotions. Hilary received her MFA in Painting and serves as the chair of the Department of Art at a college in Los Altos, California. She alternately works in her art studio on the first floor of her house and in her backyard, both of which provide her with the company of nature. When she's not painting, Hilary loves spending time with her children, practicing mindfulness, and traveling to California beach towns with her family.

Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.Words that describe this painting: still life, classical realism, milkmaid, elegance, peasant, Harnett, milkmaid, Vermeer, small, oilpaint, classical, figurine, vintage, still life, classical, oil painting, beige

- The Green Arrow, Oil PaintingBy Jose H. AlvarengaLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
In classical vintage style, artist Jose H. Alvarenga imposes his spin on still-life pieces with an action figure on top of lettered toy blocks. "I bought the whole collection of the DC comic characters and decided to paint this figurine of the Green Arrow," narrates Jose. He paints variations of green through neutralizing, brightening, and blending. Jose colors a block red for a complete contrast opposite to green.About the Artist
