About the Item

James Van Fossan's "Presence" (2023) is an exquisite oil on linen painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a woman in a moment of quiet reflection. This 16 x 16-inch artwork, though unframed, is ready to hang and draws the viewer into a serene contemplation. The artist employs a soft, ethereal palette to craft light and shadow on the subject's back and profile, enhancing the delicacy of her pose. The brushwork is subtle yet expressive, conveying a deep sense of peace and inward focus. The use of abstracted, dreamy backgrounds merges seamlessly with the figure, suggesting a timeless space where thoughts and emotions flow freely. This piece is ideal for collectors seeking artworks that not only beautify a space but also evoke a profound emotional resonance.

"Lost in Thought" Oil Painting
By Kelly Birkenruth
Located in Denver, CO
Kelly Birkenruth's (US based) "Lost in Thought" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a lone female figure in profile looking towards Japanese blossoms in the background while resting her elbow on her knee. Kelly Birkenruth’s captivating paintings are in the style of contemporary realism while staying firmly grounded in the tradition of the Old Masters. She is able to pull the viewer into her paintings by interweaving emotion with a humanistic quality through her supreme handling of light. Through her portraits and still lifes she is able to evoke sensitivity and empathy, which in turn allows her to create images which transcend mere representation to capture the true essence of her subject. Kelly’s arresting compositions, draftsmanship, use of color and observation of detail allow her to create paintings with a timeless quality. After earning her degree from Pennsylvania State University, Kelly moved to southern California where she began a career as a fashion model. Her agency soon sent her abroad to Paris and Tokyo, where she spent the next several years modeling. When she wasn’t walking the runway, she spent endless hours in the great museums of the world, closely observing and studying the works of the Old Masters. “My time abroad, particularly in Paris, opened my eyes to the vast beauty and power of a great painting. After that I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to the pursuit of Fine Art” said Birkenruth. After returning to the States, Kelly studied at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles, CA. She then continued her studies through workshops and private study with renowned artists such as Daniel Sprick, Steven Assael and Jesus Emmanuel Villarreal. In the spring of 2019 Kelly...
