Carole Garland
The Girl in the Fountain

2022

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.

Venice Beach
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Depicts Carole Garland reveling in a hot summer day at the Venice Beach. Colorful beach umbrellas shield the timid from the burning sun while sunbathers bask in the searing heat. Yellow and blue ribbons floating on the wind celebrate Venice’s chaos and its whimsy. To focus the figure of a preteen who stands sentinel, Garland fades out the foreground sunbather on right and obfuscates the crouching man on left. The artist leads us to the groups of mysterious standing and sitting figures in the shadows and beyond. Garland’s collection of figurative work speaks to a contemporary sensibility in her approach to painting, while expressing a curiosity about the human form and an irrepressible concern for the human spirit. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied 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...
