About the Item

"Girl in the Fountain" Nothing is so joyful as a young girl splashing in a fountain, loving the spray yet ducking it at the same time. As the child kicks her way in the pool, her legs are engulfed in water and she is drenched from above. What a wonderful way to beat the heat on a summer's day. Artist Carole Garland who is known for her beach scenes and figure work paints the young girl with an emphasis on her movement through the water. She simplifies and abstracts the background to place the focus on the child in motion. This 12"x12" painting is wired for ease of hanging. It is an oil on canvas, with harmonious painted gallery- wrapped sides. Artist Carole Garland has studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has participated in art workshops in France and Mexico and her most recent influence is fine artist David Gallup, former vice-president of the California Art Club. She has been painting in oils for over twenty years. Garland is in art collections throughout the U.S. and has shown in venues all over the Southern California area. Her most recent exhibits include, DeFrenS Gallery, West Lake Village; Gallery of Hermosa, Hermosa Beach; Topanga Art Gallery; Santa Paula Art Museum; Kathryne Designs, Montecito; and individual shows at TAG Gallery, Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, and many more.
