About the Item
Artist Comments
"Froot Loops, a favorite with both adults and children," says artist Karen Barton. "There is something about a bowl full of loops that gives a happy feeling." Karen describes her paintings as being of a historical nature. She seeks out subject matter that represents contemporary culture and also acts as a timeless icon. The results are aesthetically pleasing pieces that offer a freeze-frame of our fast-changing culture and attach to personal memories.
About the Artist
Oil painter Karen Barton creates records of everyday objects through a historical and sentimental lens. With works that feature the ingredients of a PB sandwich or the iconic blue Morton's Salt container, Karen makes a connection through the goods that reach into our homes and possibly to our childhoods. As she explains, "my paintings are of a historical nature. They mostly represent contemporary culture and our current time in history while others are ‘timeless icons.'" Karen collects her subjects at local grocery, hardware, or antique stores where she often attracts curious stares while she intently examines the items. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Karen shares a studio with her artist husband, which she describes as a busy looking place with art supplies and a bright yellow futon with Libby, their beloved studio dog.

- Buck Owen & Emmylou Harris, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist John McCabe creates three colorful guitars lined in a row. "This was made originally as a promotional poster for a series of acoustic guitar performances that I was doing in Orange County, CA," shares John. He selects rough depictions of some of his favorite guitars and guitar players. The piece pays homage to Buck Owens' red, white, and blue guitar, Emmylou Harris' Gibson J-200, and Don Rich's acoustic Fender.About the Artist

- Bowl of Grapes, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist John Jaster portrays a fresh display of red and green grapes with a ripe pomegranate placed in a glass bowl. Set above a patterned table cloth, the glass reflects light and vibrant hues of pink that surrounds it. Bunches of grapes nest in the cloth's loose crease reminiscent of tiny bird eggs. The dark background highlights the scene completing the composition.About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths may seem unrelated, John says his work in software strongly influences his artwork in terms of distilling complex systems without losing the magic and wonder. Today, John works from a large home studio with a fireplace, lots of natural light, and jazz playing in the background. Since 2010, John’s paintings have been displayed in over 90 juried exhibitions and published in leading art magazines and books.Words that describe this painting: grapes, glass, bowl, pomegranate, tablecloth, still life, fruits, cloth, pop, acrylicpaint, pop, still life, acrylic painting, pink
