About the Item
Artist Comments
"Although Bodie, California is a fantastic painting location, finding neat and orderly arrangements for good composition is difficult," opines artist Doug Cosbie. "By varying the space between and angles where the buildings lie makes for a far more interesting painting. These buildings from my sketchbook (the Quinville Home, Millar Boarding House, and the Methodist Church) are some of my favorites." Warm colors with burnished browns, acid greens, and yellows against a changing sky capture the mood of the silent isolation of this once gold-mining town.
About the Artist
Artist Doug Cosbie presents the vibrancy found in nature with his impressionist, rural architecture centered artwork. Longing to create something that connects with people, Cosbie spent countless years perfecting how he portrays the world on canvas. Within his journey, he studied as an apprentice in the studios of Sam Black and Jack Shadbolt. As a plein air artist, Doug's studio is a portable pochade box. He begins by finding a location that speaks to him, makes a sketch, and continues to add depth and dimension with oil on canvas. "Creativity when making art is not about interpreting exactly as you see it. New ideas are formed by interesting contrasts, and interesting paintings happen when things are out of place." In the rare cases when he is not painting, you can find him reading, traveling, sailing, and spending quality time with his family. Cosbie's creations have been showcased at galleries in Canada. He is an alumnus of Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia.
