Francis Sills
Roses, Botanical, Red, Dark Pink Flowers, Green, Floral Pitcher on Wooden Table

2020

About the Item

A floral patterned pitcher on a wooden table holds brightly colored pink and red roses with long leaves in verdant shades of green, loosely depicted in oil on linen canvas. Signed on recto and signed, dated and titled on verso. Framed in a light, natural wood float frame. Francis Sills’ paintings are grounded in the perceptual-based, realist tradition. The artist works directly from observation in nature. In dealing with the intricacies and challenges of working from observation and the sustained experience of intense, visual scrutiny, the artist comes to understand and know his world. Sills’ paintings are dense and subtle, revealing specific nuances of color, light, and form. Often, the underlying geometry and architecture of the composition are apparent in the application of paint, the artist’s analytic thinking about structure and his methodology still evident in the finished work. Sills’ most recent series of paintings and drawings depict the evolving landscape of his garden and home in South Carolina. The work is at once personal and universal, an observed world of nature, home and family. Francis Sills earned an MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, NY and a BFA from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States. The artist lives and works in South Carolina.

  • Bougainvillea In Blue Vase floral still life
    By Katherine Kean
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    Still life painting of a simple spray of bright pink bougainvillea that contrasts the deep cobalt blues of the vase. The vivid pinks of the bracts are expressed in hues of Scarlet Lake, Quinacridone Magenta, and Deep Crimson. This square floral still life is painted in oil on a gallery wrapped linen canvas. The 1 1/2 inch edges are hand painted to coordinate with the front. It is wired with finger friendly wire and ready to install, and includes an official certificate of authenticity. Katherine Kean’s paintings seek moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her work aims to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of nature's turbulence. Katherine Kean has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections. She has been honored to have her work selected for Bloomingdales in Santa Monica, California, Schiffer's 100 Artists of the West Coast II, Paint America's Paint the Parks, Manhattan Arts Healing Arts International...
