About the Item
Artist Comments
"This piece was inspired by the dramatic approach and climb up one of my favorite mountains in southern Utah," says artist Crystal DiPietro. Sharing her depiction of this majestic view, Crystal articulates the rough terrain into lyrical paintwork. Yellow, brown, and orange hills are intricately veined with complementary purple. Rendering the valley and sky beyond in more restrained brushwork keeps the mountain as the focal point of this impressive scene.
About the Artist
Many artists work with the landscape, but Crystal DiPietro sees her works as different from most in the genre. "I tend not to see landscapes as soft and pretty, but as rugged, dramatic and colorful." Many of her works depict wild storms and moody sunsets. She spends a lot of time in remote spots and uses layers of color to create her compositions. Her work hovers between a brief impression of a scene and a pure dream. Crystal's landscapes of southern Utah seem to undulate and continuously change. What's interesting, though, is that these mountains and valleys seem to do the same thing in person. In these areas, the view changes constantly throughout the day as the light shifts, throwing shadows of faces, mazes and alien patterns across the cliff faces. Crystal impressively captures what's there, and what seems to be but isn't.

- Rest Break in the Gardens, Original PaintingBy Darlene McElroyLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Darlene McElroy paints an impressionist portrait of a woman in a straw hat. The subject reads a book on a wrought iron park bench as her four-legged companion rests by her feet. Surrounded by the flourishing foliage of the botanical garden, they spend a laid-back afternoon in the warm summer sun. A harmonious balance of light and shadow develops in the narrative.About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paints to photo transfers and collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.Words that describe this painting: woman, people, figurative, dog, nature, narrative, storytelling, botanical garden, book, dog, trees, sun, acrylicpaint, impressionism, animals, people, mixed media artwork, yellow
