Artist James Hartman draws inspiration from the experience of seeing sunlit colors and details appearing through the strong vertical tree pattern. He expresses the painting sections to appear like stained glass. James highlights small areas where collaged 100-year-old paper show through the surface, he does this in a non-disruptive way. James applies heat to fuse the oils into a mixture of beeswax and damar crystals to seal the work.
About the Artist
When James Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air (outdoors) and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th Century. James's paintings of the Northern California landscape pay tribute to some of the great Bay Area artists of the past. His expressive scenes feel alive through his vibrant use of color and his painterly brushwork. James’s paintings have an immediate visual impact from a distance, yet up close, dissolve into a series of confident marks and strokes. There is a simultaneous complexity and steadiness in his flattened, color-blocked planes. Knowledge and observation are essential elements of James’s working practice. To this end, he spends a large proportion of his time painting on location. His body of work captures the fresh and sunlit essence of the coastal California hills.

Artist Shari Lyon presents an encaustic depiction of silhouetted trees under a hazy atmosphere. The trees stand proudly above a bronzed earth, with their intricate roots stretching beneath the surface. Melissa builds up the background with hot, melted wax and resin while incorporating oil paints, pastels, oil sticks, and drawings. In the final stages of the piece, Shari burns the image of the trees into wax, adds metallic touches, and buffs the surface. "Trees, such as in this piece are my favorite subject. I love to think of the symbolism of trees and roots...
