Artist Comments
"The setting of two diagonal windows lead the viewer's gaze naturally to the picture," says artist Wushuang Tong. "The lizard and the lily are placed on the left, which occupies a large part of the composition to balance the visual focus into the middle of the painting. The two curtains form an encirclement, along with the sky of whimsical blue that gives the image the tone of surrealism." Part of Wushuang's A Little Lizard's Life series depicting her pet lizards looking out the window of the skyscraper where she paints.
About the Artist
Artist Wushuang Tong paints surreal portraits of her two pet lizards gazing out of her high-rise apartment near the Hudson River estuary. Her home boasts abundant natural light and a sweeping view of the Statue of Liberty. "Every day, I see a shining expanse of sea and the sunset like loose silk flying from the edge of the horizon," says Wushuang. After earning a BA at Wuhan University, Wushuang moved to the United States to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later earned her MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. In college, she served as the principal cellist in the symphony orchestra, and today, she composes scores for her artworks and performs professionally. She also plays piano and guitar, as well as several folk instruments, such as the cucurbit flute (a Chinese instrument) and dutar (a central Asian string instrument). Her artwork has been exhibited and collected internationally, including in New York, London, Berlin, and Singapore.

- Five of Pentacles, Oil PaintingBy Rachel SrinivasanLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
As a part of artist Rachel Srinivasan's Rodeo Series, the painting explores the symbolism of the five pentacles tarot card. The prominent green hues carry meanings of wealth, abundance, growth, and a connection to nature. The white bison adds a layer of mysticism, representing the power of the supernatural. Galloping horses adorn the edges, adding an intriguing touch to the composition.About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.Words that describe this painting: tarot, wealth, abundance, magic, mystical, cards, oracle, white bison, buffalo...
