About the Item

Artist Comments
Remnants of a plantation rest deep in the historic Iao Valley, where a cottage, a banana tree, and a garden grow as native Hawaiians once planted them. Mist floats gently through the valley, adding a sense of calmness. Artist Karen E Lewis painted the scene on location.


About the Artist
Karen E. Lewis grew up on the water, swimming, kayaking and later guiding rafting tours down the Deschutes River. She came to painting accidentally, but quickly became obsessed. Water naturally became her main subject, and a new way for her to connect with what she treasured the most. Karen’s landscapes, with their warm tones and atmospheric light, project a great love of the scenery and nature. The impressionistic colors, violet mountains and orange riverbanks provide a dream-like quality to the scenes. They feel similar to how you would remember a beautiful place years after visiting, as something magical and not altogether real. She places the viewer on the river, so that we are floating through the scene with her, dwarfed by the other elements of the landscape. Karen’s car is always stocked with her painting materials in case she comes across an inspiring scene and wants to capture it. She recently experienced a beautiful sunset in the Trader Joe’s parking lot, and fortunately she was prepared with an easel and paint.

"Sanctuary" Impressionist Realism Landscape Oil on Linen
By Uri Blayer
Located in Carmel, CA
"Sanctuary," a 16" x 28" oil on linen creation by Israeli artist Uri Blayer, is a serene portrayal of rustic tranquility set against a lush mountainous backdrop. In this piece, Blayer employs a palette dominated by earthy greens, rich browns, and soft greys, evoking the natural harmony of the rural landscape. The painting’s composition leads the viewer’s gaze across a verdant field to the quaint cottage, a splash of blue on its roof adding a gentle contrast to the surrounding neutral tones. The artwork radiates a calming, almost nostalgic emotion, reminiscent of a quiet life, undisturbed by the bustle of modernity. Blayer’s brushwork combines precision with a gentle looseness that gives "The Little Cottage" a dreamlike quality, inviting one to step into its peaceful world. About the Artist: Uri Blayer is an alumnus of the Telma-Yalin Art School in Israel and furthered his artistic education at Brooklyn College and the Art Students League in New York City. His creative expressions have been displayed in numerous distinguished group shows across the United States and Israel. His pieces are a staple in various private collections, as well as corporate and public entities. In Hawaii, his work graces the walls of the Bank of Hawaii, is featured at the Hawaii State Museum, and is part of the collection of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. His artistic prowess has been acknowledged with multiple accolades, including a recent grant from the prestigious Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. For three consecutive years, he has been a selected exhibitor at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Showcase, a testament to his standing among Hawaii's top 100 artists. Notably, Uri's art has garnered critical acclaim in esteemed publications such as The New York Times, The New York Sun, and The Jerusalem Post. Original, 1-of-1. Represented by the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Keywords: impressionist, realism...
