'Earl' Signed by Cathryn Ruvalcaba realist animal portrait high realism oil

2023

About the Item

Wisconsin artist Cathryn Ruvalcaba creates images of classic midwestern farm scenes by zooming in on the animals that populate these fields. Her use of oil paint on gesso board offers a realist lens of these subjects. While her style nears photo realism, there is an added level of playfulness that sets her work apart. The bright, almost neon brush strokes that accent the scene bring out the life that exists within what a Wisconsin native would otherwise see as mundane. She personifies the animals she creates, making her subjects seem almost fantastical. Yet the familiarity of the species she paints roots these animals in reality. For example, she has endowed the sheep in this painting with the name "Earl". The eye contact that has been created for the subject almost convinces the viewer that Earl is himself human. He conveys the feel of a traditional portrait painting with a unique twist! Animals made a wonderful addition to any design scheme and this painting is sure to bring out the animal lover in everyone. Art Size 7" x 5" Frame size: 10.5" x 8.5" Signed by the artist in the lower left corner.
