About the Item
Artist Comments
"I do not like roller coaster rides of any kind but I do love donuts and get an adrenaline rush when thinking about them," says artist Dwight Smith. A rollercoaster car tilts on the edge of a Bavarian donut, almost slipping off as the gooey sauce drips down. Dwight rendered this humorous realistic piece on Arches hot press paper and rich watercolor. "Eat more donuts and enjoy the ride."
About the Artist
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.

- And All is Well, Original PaintingBy Catherine McCargarLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Enamored with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean, artist Catherine McCargar paints a deep and abiding seascape of the California coast. A family of three stands along a gorgeous impressionist seascape, relishing in nature's boundless splendor. She displays calm violet hues of wet morning sand against gentle white waves and golden cliffs. The breathtaking scenery evokes a palpable sense of wonder, peace, and restoration.About the Artist
Impressionist Catherine McCargar expresses her deep admiration of nature through landscape paintings of Northern California. While she is well-versed in a range of media, her preferred medium for painting is watercolor. The fluidity of the paint allows her to capture the muted undertones and the fleeting light found in the natural world. While the backgrounds of her paintings are impressionistic, the foregrounds of her paintings are often highly detailed, showcasing her technical mastery over her medium.Words that describe this painting: seascape, ocean, beach, shore, sand, coastal, California Central Coast, peaceful, calm, shoreline, walking, family, grass, plants, waves, watercolor, paper, small, rocks, cliff, impressionism, impressionism, seascape, watercolor painting, purple
