Willow , Oil Painting

About the Item

Artist Comments
Naoko says that when she came upon this scene, the willow tree - with its leaves turned yellow - looked like a huge sweet candied ginger. "Warm and transparent golden lights reflected on the leaves and twinkled like crystalized sugar. Then the wind blew, and the tree shook like falling fireworks."


About the Artist
Naoko Tadotsu;s art is about three things: nature, color, and light. Naoko captures all these elements in perfect unison, a feat that takes years to master. In blurs of primary colors, Naoko is able to find the essence of life on the canvas.

  • Like a Dream, Oil Painting
    By George Peebles
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    With quick textured strokes, artist George Peebles displays a prismatic multicolored tree at the center of a flat open field. Shades of orange, green, and violet make up the gleaming leaves. The bright blue sky lights up the mystifying background. He paints the piece with mindful thought and inspiration.


    About the Artist
    Award-winning artist, George Peebles specializes in contemporary panoramic scenes. Breathtaking combinations of brilliant hues and gradients of rich skies map out his paintings. “My art is a reflection of the place inside each of us where we connect to nature,” says George. Based in Michigan, he draws inspiration from electric moments within his environment. Each stroke is an inward expression of his emotions as he paints from memory. George, being colorblind views his work as a lifelong process that leads him to new concepts and ideas best expressed on his canvas. When he’s out of the studio, George works as a chef at their local hospital. His work is represented in eighteen healthcare facilities.

  • Binyamin Basteker, The Mighty Waves , 2023 oil on canvas 60 x 80 cm
    Located in Jerusalem, IL
    Binyamin Basteker The Mighty Waves, 2023 oil on canvas 60 x 80 cm 24 x 31 in Binyamin Basteker was born in Mumbai in 1953. Growing up in a family of artists, his unique talent was discovered at a very early age. He perfected the art of portraiture and color while still living in India. Following his immigration to Israel in 1969, he studied with the modern Israeli masters and was considered to be one of the promising young abstract artists of the 1980s. In the mid-1980s he became observant and ceased to exhibit his work. The artist’s inaugural solo exhibition of oil paintings entitled “Stones that Speak” set Basteker apart from the mainstream of “modern” Jewish, religious painters. Whereas in many instances the theme of the painting, whether it be the Kotel or Jerusalem or the wealth of themes available to the observant artist, becomes the goal of the artist, Basteker relates to the “theme” as the “excuse” for the painting. Basteker searches for balance and harmony in his life and translates this to color and texture and motion. Nothing is his work is arbitrary. Every stroke and splash, every line and curve contribute to the perfect composition. The artist’s selection of tools, a result of an immediate inspiration, greatly affects the application of the color and texture. His works are sophisticated and worthy of deep examination. Tremendous layers of thought and spirituality are engraved in each and every work. Yet to the casual viewer, the paintings are aesthetically pleasing on a very simplistic level. On first glance, we see a beautiful bouquet or garden. Yet as the viewer’s eye travels and dissects the composition, we might imagine a maestro conducting a symphony orchestra or a pianist’s graceful fingers dancing over the keyboard. “Jerusalem Flowers” are unique to the Holy City...
