About the Item

Artist Comments
With low tide, the sand stretches out towards the receding waterline, revealing a shallow pool of water reflecting the sky. A solitary cloud watches over the sea and adds a touch of drama to the scene. The artwork evokes a tranquil atmosphere.


About the Artist
Artist George Peebles paints atmospheric displays of panoramic landscapes and integrates whimsical abstractions as compelling spectacles. Breathtaking combinations of brilliant hues and rich gradients map out his introspective compositions. “My art is a reflection of the place inside each of us where we connect to nature,” says George. He paints each stroke with an inward expression of his emotions, painting from memory. George finished his BA at Kendall College of Art Design but remains to see his practice as a lifetime learning process. Born with red/green colorblindness, he expresses his unique perception through avant-garde approaches. His new concepts and ideas come alive at his home studio in Michigan as he draws inspiration from electric moments within his environment. Outside the studio, he works as a chef at a local hospital, where he gets to share his art and illuminate everyone's day.

Tryon 12, Oil Painting
By Naoko Tadotsu
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Naoko Tadotsu demonstrates a colorful tree on a sunny summer afternoon. Reflections of bright sunlight from a nearby river pierce through the leaves of the lush foliage. A compelling display of blue and green marks intensifies in the warm background. "The lights and leaves together create an illusion of a large stained glass," says Naoko.


About the Artist
Brilliant prismatic trees radiate in artist Naoko Tadotsu’s expressionist compositions. “I am always in awe of nature, color, and light,” says Naoko. These three facets establish her vibrant works in fluid strokes of vivid hues. Roots of her influence trace back to growing up in Osaka, where these elements were abundant. Naoko migrated to New York where she was immersed and fell in love with the world of art. What was once unexpressed inspiration inevitably translated onto the canvas. Her work often crosses into abstraction, capturing her feelings towards nature and painting...
