About the Item

Buddhist Monks in Prayer The young monks are bowed in devotional meditation in a Buddhist Prayer Hall. The beautiful harmonized environment and the sacred atmosphere allow serenity and tranquility to prevail. The large group in prayer creates a powerful spiritual impact upon the viewer. The monks are praying in a religious practice that traces back to the Fifth Century in ancient India and is the fourth largest religion in the world. Buddhism was introduced in the U.S. by scholars and spiritual pioneers in the mid-nineteenth century and is a growing practice. `Fine artist Carole Garland was moved by the solemn attention and devotion of these young monks in Myanmar (Burma). Garland captures the beauty of the shimmering columns, the shining crimson floor and the distant Buddha in the background. The artist employs the light illuminating the white robes, draping across the monks' shoulders, to create a "V" design and a triangular movement around the painting. This 24"x30" Oil Painting on a Wood Panel is wired for easy hanging and the natural wood sides may serve as a frame. Carole Garland has appeared in numerous venues throughout Southern California including several juried California Art Club shows. She's mounted many individual exhibits at TAG Gallery in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica. She recently was in shows at DeFrenS Gallery, Westlake Village; Gallery of Hermosa, Hermosa Beach; West Los Angeles College Art Gallery; Santa Paula Art Museum; Topanga Canyon Gallery and the Channel Islands Studio Gallery, Camarillo, to name a few.

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...

Innocence and Patience
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
These two South African schoolgirls were staring at yet another group of well meaning tourists passing through their Zimbabwean grammar school. Carole Garland captures their lingering expressions: Innocence, seemingly open, adventurous and hopeful while the other girl, Patience, is perhaps more skeptical, wondering what these people from the United States are doing in her classroom. To enter their children in school. South African parents must register them with English names so mother and father, who don’t speak English, search through English language newspapers for suitable names, hence, “Innocence” and “Patience.” The tour guide’s name was “Sanction.” Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. Carole Garland has shown in many Southern California venues, most recently at TAG Gallery, Bergamot Station; RealART Gallery, Agoura Hills; the Santa Paula...
