About the Item
Artist Comments
"My mom gave my wife and me several cast iron pans of various sizes," says artist Dwight Smith of the setup for this realist still life. "I enjoy cooking with them, and using them for painting. The bright red apples pop resting inside of the pan. A lot of butter with spices and we are ready to cook."
About the Artist
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.

- Ranunculus Shindig, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Jinny Tomozy exhibits a realistic portrait of a Ranunculus bouquet. "Ranunculus are similar to roses but have more delicate petals that are tissue-thin and in greater numbers," describes Jinny. Layers and layers of petals that transition from cool greens in the center to warm pinks and yellows make them a delightful subject matter. Jinny creates the piece from several different references and arranges it into one bouquet.About the Artist
Artist Jinny Tomozy reveals the most tender aspects of nature through the sculptural forms of flowers. Her strikingly realistic floral watercolors connect us to the familiar emotions we experience in viewing the spectacular or mundane circumstances of this place we call home. "I am captivated by light touching a surface, the nuances of a shadow, interplays of color, and of other complex facets of our visual world," shares Jinny. After twenty-two years as a teacher of foundations in art education and placing her creative aspirations on hold, she now pursues art full-time and spends more of her days painting and creating. Jinny captures tangible feelings of space and time in her studio at Reno Art Works. In this non-profit gallery, a community of eleven artists works in an emerging art...Category21st Century and Contemporary American Realist Still-life Drawings and W...
