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.

To my darling for memory - a horse on a turquoise blue background
By Daria Kotlyarova
Located in Fort Lee, NJ
This painting is made on the wooden block showing a horse that symbolizing the memory that can go to anyone with deep thoughts and love. It can be placed either on wall or any other place including shelf. In the modern world, the artist is a peculiar explorer of the time that he lives In. The “main character” of this world is a man whose gaze is turned inward. This view projects its existential reality, where the figurative language of painting is a method of transmitting abstract images of the experiences of the main characters and the time in which they exist on an equal footing with the viewer. Pictures of Daria Kotlyarova have no plot, at first glance, they have no action, but there is a moment. The moment before the second “before” ... and the viewer stops and freezes in tension, this is almost a psychological “cinema reception” that refers us to David Hockney’s paintings...
