Carole Garland
A Sunflower Splash

2024

About the Item

A Sunflower Splash - The bright yellow sunflowers cuddle the dark red chrysanthemum in an embrace as they stand tall in the clear vase, The open faces of the sunny sunflowers are in contrast to the shy, introverted mum ("Mums the word.") whose petals curl inward. Painting wet into wet, brushes loaded with paint, fine artist Carole Garland exuberantly tackles her subject, a vase of flowers. She seems to revel in the flailing motion of the sunflower petals while quietly revealing the petals of the beautiful, gentle chrysanthemum. This painting technique is known as "alla prima," an Italian term meaning to paint in a single sitting or at first attempt. In French it is called "au premier coup" , or direct painting. The 20"x16" oil painting on a wood panel is wired for ease of hanging and handling. The natural wood sides of the panel can serve as a frame. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill.; and studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She took classes and workshops with many fine artists, from Frank Serrano to Jove Wang and Jeff Horn and most recently has been influenced by artist David Gallup who has grounded her in traditional academic painting while encouraging experimentation and exploration. Garland has shown in numerous venues in Southern California including galleries and museums and is in art collections throughout the United States.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A friend of Carole Garland’s suggested she might be so enthusiastic about painting figures and groups of people because of her previous isolation during Covid. In fact, her one wish when it was over was to sit at a sidewalk café anywhere and people watch. But in this work, there is something more. “Thoughts and Prayers” is a reaction to attending a Bingo fundraiser for a Recovery House. Everyone was enjoying themselves at various tables. It was a benign event, except for the specter of mass shootings in innocent, unsuspecting gatherings like this. In the painting, Garland attempts to convey her feelings of dread at an otherwise boisterous occasion. It was happening everywhere, anywhere, all the time. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied art at the Chicago Art Institute and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has worked privately with artists Keith Finch and Ron Pekar, taken numerous workshops and was mentored by David Gallup...
