Crystal DiPietro
Desert Poppies, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Crystal DiPietro paints a sweeping view of a western ravine gloriously gleaming in the sun's warmth. "At the bottom of a beautiful desert canyon, I was surprised and thrilled to discover a lovely field of desert poppies in full spring bloom," shares Crystal. She paints them like a sea of yellow, brightening the harsh desert terrain and offering a feeling of hope. The golden blooms create a compelling contrast against the neutral earthy tones of the landscape.


About the Artist
Artist Crystal DiPietro paints majestic sceneries inspired by her personal trips to beautiful untamed places. She creates landscapes as rugged and dramatic—setting her style apart from the usual soft and delicate perspectives of the genre. Crystal pursued art school in Washington, D.C., where she got to go behind the scenes in major galleries and explore hiking, a huge source of her work inspiration. She composes her work with bold natural views in unique angles, vibrant colors, and loose brushstrokes. With her own photography used as a reference, Crystal expresses the details in her paintings slowly, in layers, the same way a photograph develops. “I intend to show a subtle beauty where the viewer may never have thought to look,” says Crystal. Her work hovers between capturing a brief dream and a contemplative impression of the scene. She achieves this by allowing viewers to come away with new respect and appreciation for the worlds around them.

  • In a New Light, Original Painting
    By Jennifer Ross
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jennifer Ross presents a still life of a bird's nest on a light and airy background. The layered textures contrast the simplicity of the composition. She uses her eggshell collage technique on the eggs and sculpts the strands of the nest with an acrylic gel medium. "It's about starting to see life in an entirely new way," says Jennifer.


    About the Artist
    Artist Jennifer Ross creates intimate portraits of birds, nests and horses. Jennifer grew up surrounded by the art of her mother and grandfather. Her attempt to follow in their footsteps presented detours, however, and she ended up working in art galleries selling other's work. But her desire to paint continued to grow throughout the years. In 2008, a gift certificate to a local art store turned into a life-changing event. Jennifer found inspiration in a collection of antique prints...
