About the Item
Artist Comments
A clever take on a self-portrait, artist Keith Thomson renders his shadow among the bright, cool ripples of the pool. "The pool's mosaic of blues and greens begged to be painted that morning, the shadow notwithstanding," Keith says with a smile.
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.

- Compass Rose, Original PaintingBy Carole MooreLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
This painting depicts the view from one of Carol Moore's regular morning walks on Bernal Hill in San Francisco. The work is part of her cargo ship series. In these pieces Carol embeds maps and guitar strings to show the music of our one world, and the exchange of ideas and materials that support our lives.About the Artist
Carole Moore works as a massage therapist and finds a lot of inspiration in her various clients. Art is something she needs to do - she feels irritated when she goes without painting for too long. Oftentimes, she sits on her feet while painting and does not notice they are asleep until she tries to get up. She enjoys spending time with her family, tending her garden and rock climbing. Carole currently lives in California, but was an exchange student in Mexico and Japan and was highly influenced by both cultures.Words that describe this painting: path, view, bay, water, sea, cargo ship, landscape, spring, vista, road, San Francisco, landscape, representational, mixed media artwork, blue
