About the Item
"Summer's End" -- As summer still simmers, the signs of
it coming to an end are apparent. Children are going back to school and
cooler nights approach. In the meantime, sunbathers find the promise of
relaxation and relief from the scorching heat at the seashore. Artist
Carole Garland communicates pleasurable moments on the sand as beachgoers
find shade under a bright-striped beach umbrella and listen to the
soothing, lapping waves of the blue Pacific.
Garland seems to find joy in painting the human figure as seen in her
series of beach paintings of half-clothed, uninhibited sun bathers at the
water's edge. In this work she plays with variations on an orange theme
throughout the painting and heightens the dark shadows in the group of
figures to contrast with the bright sand.
This 24"x30" oil painting on a wood panel has been wired for easy hanging
and its light wood panel sides may serve as a frame.
Artist Carole Garland has been an artist all her life but has been painting
full-time for the past 20 years.
She has studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of the
Americas in Mexico City and been influenced by plein air painters Jeff
Horn, Frank Serrano, Calvin Liang and most recently by David Gallup,
former vice-president of the California Art Club.
Garland has been in shows throughout Southern California, most recently at
DeFrenS Art Gallery, Westlake Village; Gallery of Hermosa, Hermosa Beach;
Betsy Leuks Art Center, Burbank; Kathryne Designs, Montecito; the Santa
Paula Art Museum and individual shows at TAG Gallery, Bergamot Station,
Santa Monica, to name a few.

View AllVenice 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...
