About the Item
Brad Davis’s "Violent Engines" is a panoramic oil painting on wood panel that captures a moment of stillness and introspection against the backdrop of industrial sprawl and natural beauty. Measuring 20 x 72 inches unframed (22 x 74 inches framed), this sweeping landscape composition places the viewer directly behind a solitary figure, whose gaze is fixed on a glowing sunset as it descends behind a silhouetted ridge.
The painting's ultra-wide format amplifies its cinematic quality, allowing Davis to render an expansive urban valley beneath a dramatic sky. Warm hues of orange and gold melt into dusky purples and cool blues, highlighting the transition from day to night. Below, a network of roads and distant headlights suggests constant motion—hinted at in the title—while the lone figure anchors the scene in quiet observation.
"Violent Engines" is painted in oil on wood panel, showcasing Davis’s exceptional control of atmosphere, detail, and light. Known for his ability to blend realism with emotional subtlety, this work fits squarely within his ongoing exploration of memory, obsolescence, and the tension between nature and industrial development.
The piece is ready to hang and presented in a custom frame that complements its scale and tone. Collectors will appreciate the painting’s unique size, immersive viewpoint, and evocative blend of narrative and realism.

Sunset, San Antonio, 20x16, oil on panel Texas

Located in Houston, TX
Sunset, San Antonio, 20x16, oil on panel Texas
This painting by Garrett Middaugh shows the beauty of a Texas Sunset outside of San Antonio. A group of low hills are in the background which surround San Antonio. San Antonio is a major city in south-central Texas with a rich colonial heritage. The Alamo, an 18th-century Spanish mission preserved as a museum, marks an infamous 1836 battle for Texan independence from Mexico. Following the San Antonio River, the miles-long River Walk is a landmark pedestrian promenade lined with cafes and shops. HemisFair Park’s 750-ft. Tower of the Americas overlooks the city.
The artist is a regional landscape painter working in oils and pastels whose subject matter varies from the mountains and desert of west Texas to the wetlands along the Texas coast, with a strong focus on Texas forests and trees. and to the Rocky Mountains The artist is in corporate and private collections around the world.
Garrett Middaugh is a regional landscape painter working in oils and pastels whose subject matter varies from the mountains and desert of west Texas to the wetlands along the Texas coast, with a strong focus on Texas forests and trees. His palette is muted, stark, embracing the neutral colors of everyday experience. Avoiding the romantic, his landscapes are often painted at high noon or in the dead of winter. He paints in a fluid hyper realist style and feels most influenced by other landscape artists such as Neil Welliver and Rackstraw Downes. He sees landscape painting as a form of meditation, projecting outward, while solving equations and mapping the scene, realizing accuracy of objects and relationships, of light, color, textures, distances.
"Landscape painting is for me a means of projecting outward, of meditating, examining the here and now of place. The process often feels similar to the satisfaction of solving math equations, intuitively realizing accuracy of objects and relationships, of light, color, textures, distances. For the most part I paint Texas. For several years I devoted a significant amount of time to painting its forests -- the complexity of forest alleviated my sense and the nearness and density of growth was comforting. I have also ventured into west Texas and Big Bend, and occasionally have attempted to capture the mesmerizing serenity of central Texas farm and ranchland."
