Keith Thomson
Happy Hour, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Rain falls on New York, casting the city in cool grays and browns. A determined man seeks refuge under his umbrella, facing the gloomy weather. However, amidst the showers, a burst of unbridled joy emerges in the form of his playful puppy—carefree and happily stomping on puddles. The artwork skillfully combines oil and ink.


About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90’s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using an animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.

  • Peanut, Original Painting
    By Diane Flick
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    "A true gift sparks joy in my heart and a craving for jelly," says Diane Flick of this playful scene. Her latest series of ink and watercolor drawings adds more characters to her invented universe where robots befriend animals and devour delicious treats. These diminutive drawings work well on their own, or tell a great story in groups of three or five.


    About the Artist
    Diane Flick is a Bay Area artist who paints quirky portraits of robots with a playful color palette and masterful realism. Each of Diane’s robots expresses its own humanlike and idiosyncratic personality. From an early age, she had a fascination with inanimate objects and often imagined what they would be like with human characteristics. Her portfolio explores the human experience through non-human subjects.
