Red Barn Off Grand Avenue, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Elizabeth Garat shares a glimpse of a pastoral landscape with an impressionistic approach. "This iconic red barn off of Grand Avenue in the east end of Ojai, California is a favorite scene for me," shares Elizabeth. She beautifully captures the warm sunny day when the golden grasses glow. The invisible wax coat gives the piece a polished finish and extra protection.

About the Artist
Growing up in California and Colorado, Elizabeth spent much of her formative years outdoors. “Exposure to nature early on planted the seed of landscape painting in me,” she says. She enjoyed spending time on her grandfather’s sunny sheep ranch and going to the beach with her grandmother. Her grandmother also would bring her to art galleries in Laguna Beach, where she was first introduced to California Impressionism. Today, Elizabeth lives in Tennessee and enjoys painting both outdoors and in her studio, a detached garage at her home. She has a keen interest in working with color and capturing the effects of light.
