  • Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with Petroglyphs
    By Cindy Kane
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with Petroglyphs by Cindy Kane Absolutely stunning large scale abstract expressionist painting titled "Bending Forward," by San Francisco and now Martha's Vineyard artist Cindy Kane (American, b. 1957). This unique monumental piece, created in 1987, has a netherworld primal quality depicting a petroglyph-like blonde woman and her animal spirit dog bending toward a flower-strewn earth. Additional petroglyph vignettes add mystery to narrative. Signed and dated "Kane '87" upper right. Unframed. Image size: 66.5"H x 84"W. Her early works were influenced by her memories of these hieroglyphs, and embellished with symbols from her dreams. “I hope [that viewers] get what I get from my work, which is enjoyment, visual satisfaction, and a story — whatever their own story is,” she said. “I can’t give them one, but I can tell my own, and the story they take with them is something personal.” Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come. While working in Grand Canyon National Park, she became familiar with the Anasazi Indian ruins...

    By David Leviathan
    Located in Carmel, CA
    "The Phoenix" by David Leviathan is a 28" x 40" oil on canvas that embodies the essence of abstract animal painting. In this work, Leviathan utilizes a palette of soft whites, creams, and earth tones, accented with vibrant strokes of red and gold, to depict the mythical bird rising from the ashes.
