About the Item
It is late afternoon in the rugged Santa Monica Mountains of Southern California as the sun is setting. Long shadows are cast - the chaparral, sagebrush and manzanita catch the glint of late light. The mountain ridge lines recede in the hazy glow of slanting luminosity.
Artist Carole Garland spent years hiking and painting plein air in the Santa Monica Mountains and brings her delight, her awe and experience to the canvas. The sensitive rendering of this mountain pass in the late afternoon captures a moment typical to this urban oasis.
"The Santa Monicas" oil painting on canvas is 18"x24" and with the frame, it measures 23 1/2" x 29 1/2". The painting is wired for easy hanging.
Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill.; and also studied painting at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas, Mexico City. She studied landscape painting with fine artists and plein air painters Frank Serrano, Jeff Horn, Calvin Liang and David Gallup who grounded her in traditional academic painting while encouraging experimentation.
Garland has shown in numerous galleries and museums in Southern California and is in art collections throughout the U.S.

- Autumn Leaves IIBy Carole GarlandLocated in Palm Desert, CACreekside one can see the rocks, pebbles and leaves at the bottom of the stream or the viewer can observe the water's surface: floating bugs, bubbles, ripples and reflections, but it's difficult to catch the bottom and the surface simultaneously. However, the photographer or artist can capture the stream's surface and pebble strewn bottom at once. Carole Garland set this as her goal in this painting from her "Reflection" series.
