About the Item

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. Another July day at Moon Lake. Artist Carole Garland captures figures in motion, enjoying the movement of arms and legs thrusting forward. The leap into the air of the three figures gives momentum to the work, while the lower standing figures give pause. Garland keeps the background woodland abstracted so as not to distract from the figures. This 40"x30" Oil on Wood Panel has wood sides which can serve as a frame. The back is wired for easy hanging. Carole Garland studied figure drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago and has taken workshops with Fine Art Oil painters Frank Serrano, Jeff Horn, Calvin Liang and others. She is grounded in classical painting traditions while David Gallup, her latest "influencer", has encouraged experimentation. Garland has shown in many Southern California venues and is in numerous art collections in Los Angeles and throughout the country.

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...
