About the Item
The Flood - Climate change or global warming and the
extreme weather conditions - destructive winds causing infernos,
devastating hurricanes and torrential rains contributing to massive
flooding were inspiration for
"The Flood." In this work, museum goers are oblivious to the churning
waters as the museum floors are slowly flooding; People go about their
business as if nothing is happening in our world. Artist Carole Garland
admits to the same head in the sand behavior. "Ring the bells that still
can ring."
Artist Carole Garland paints her cultured museum attendees rushing,
standing, gazing. The focal pint, the woman with the camera, is taking a
picture of the viewer. The child represents the next generation who will
inherit an environment even more dangerous and erratic than what we are
experiencing today.
This oil painting on a 24"x30" wood panel is wired for ease of hanging. The
natural wood sides, 1 1/2" deep, may serve as a frame.
Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois; studied
figure drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago and oil painting at the
University of the Americas, Mexico City. She has studied with numerous fine
artists, participated in workshops in San Miguel de Allende and St Tropez,
France. Her most recent "influencer" is former vice-president of the
California Art Club and fine artist and teacher, David Gallup.
She has exhibited in venues throughout Southern California and is in art
collections across the United States.

The Jump from Moon Lake Pier

Located in Palm Desert, CA
Happy times -- nothing more joyful, adventurous or as
freeing as jumping into cold lake water on a hot summer's day. Everyone is
drenched, shivering, but going back in- one more time. Plugged ears, runny
noses, goosebumps and soaked bathing suits - what could be more fun?
Hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad and ice cream await the survivors.

My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces.
Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance.
My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry.
