Laura Browning
"Contemplation" Coastal Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

This blue coastal oil painting by artist Laura Browning features a cropped view of open water as light reflects and glistens off its surface. The painting measures 24" x 24" and is made on gallery wrapped canvas, with the painting continuing over the sides of the canvas. It is signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner of the painting and is wired and ready to hang. Laura received her BFA from California State University Long Beach. She taught workshops at the Los Angeles Museum of Art and interned at the Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy. Laura's work has been collected around the world, and is represented by several galleries and retailers across the United States. Laura paints using environmentally friendly oils and solvents from her home studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. She lives with her husband and young son in their beloved Eichler home - a “glass house” which invites the outside in and provides endless inspiration. “My paintings are inspired by the rhythm and movement of light reflections in water," Browning says. "With each piece, I strive to capture the feeling of being in or near water through many layers of transparent oil glazes. I’m fascinated by the luminous color interactions created by currents and waves as light dances between them. It continues to be a wonderful challenge to explore ways to capture this movement on a canvas, to represent the depth and life of an ever moving landscape. "Each piece is directly inspired by a particular experience and is for me a vivid memory of the moment of inspiration, typically an idyllic sunny summer day. I feel the most alive when exploring new places, and as a result, my work is a direct reflection of the moments when life is at it’s best. "Creating these water paintings is very meditative. I get lost in the process, just as I get lost watching light interact with water."

  • Christian Berg, Pair of Goosander Birds On Ice Floes.
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...
