About the Item

The Goldfish Bowl by Richard Miller (1875-1943) Oil on canvas 37 ½ x 29 ¾ inches unframed (95.25 x 75.565 cm) 46 ⅝ x 36 ¼ inches framed (118.428 x 97.155) Signed on lower right Description: Richard E. Miller was an American Impressionist who was known for his paintings of romantic femininity. He began his studies in America at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts before receiving a scholarship that allowed him to study in Giverny, France. While studying in Europe with artists like Frederick Frieseke, Miller became inspired by his neighbor Claude Monet and adopted a lighter, impressionistic style. Miller went on to produce exteriors of porches and lawns containing idealized women, who he often painted in large, decorative dresses. In France Miller received a gold medal from the Paris Salon and was knighted into the French Legion of Honor. He later co-founded the Provincetown Artists Colony in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This oil painting by Richard E. Miller focuses on soft femininity as it exists within an interior space. The figure's muted green dress takes up half of the composition, being articulated with a simple yet pleasing plaid pattern. The focus becomes the action, with the woman daintily laying her hands over a glass ball, divorced from the viewer and infatuated with her own material possessions.

  • Looking for Andy Oil on Panel 16" x 10" Framed New Orientalism Artist
    Located in Houston, TX
    Searching for Andy (Warhol) references woman looking at one of the 199 paintings that Andy Warhol did of Mao. This painting is usually seen in the museum exhibitions around the world Looking for Andy (Warhol) is 16" x 10" and is framed which makes it 20 " x 14" . The artist describes himself as one of the New Orientalists which is a traveling painter in the modern world. Raj Chaudhuri (b 1967) My work comes from my life as a human being. I paint what I know and love. Capturing people and their interaction with the environment interests me—be it urban or rural, cityscape or landscape. I strive to find beauty in everyday happenings and how we experience this amazing world in which we live. Growing up in India, I feel my work is enriched by the depth of culture, vibrant colors and energy there. Twenty-three years ago, Colorado became home, giving me a longstanding enjoyment of the mountains, the brilliance of people here and the rich history of the west. I truly enjoy traveling and painting on location; I thrive in painting subjects with which I have a deep connection and understanding of people, structures and landscape. Art has always been my passion. I found ways to incorporate my artistic abilities in UI design and software development before coming to art full time. To a great extent I find that what like in computer design and now in art is that we are creating abstractions of the real world. There are repeating patterns in how we solve problems in many arenas. The creation of a painting is a technical and visionary problem, with many aspects behind the brushstrokes and values. These challenges underlie the thrill of creating a piece that speaks to viewers, to see what we feel and know about the world around us in art. To me painting is about finding beauty, balance and something visually engaging. I am fascinated by how light illuminates my compositions. It is different literally in every painting! The design of a painting to me is paramount, and I try and find something beautiful, simple and clear in the composition and then build in layers upon layers of complexity. I want to lead the viewer through a visual journey and have them stay connected to the painting. Art is a way of expressing something deeply personal along with the pure enjoyment of the visual. My goal is to find an interesting design clearly present in each painting, so the viewer sees the abstract visual dialogue that sets up the appealing story of the subject in the painting. 2024 Best of Show Presented by the Coors Western Art Advisory Committee (last image of horse in snow...
