Artist's Commentary:
My first 2022 painting titled 'The Lightness of Being' indicates a change in my approach to the mixed media painting process I developed beginning early 2019. Like many of my earlier mixed medium paintings, I used handmade papers for the background to create a grid-like pattern. And as usual, I sanded between layers of paper and added subtle layers of paint between the layers. But, what is different about this one, is that I applied other smaller shapes of various colors of paper to define my subject. By adding more layers and combining the mediums I work with, I can add more intrigue and mystery to the process and work. Also, I added even more layers to my collage papers to obscure lines that define the form and soften the lines that form the horse. Finally, to enhance the airy and graceful shape of the horse, I chose cheerful, light, spring-like colors and transparent papers for the final layers. My ultimate goal is that this painting is that it refers to life's capacity to renew itself. A quote from Henry Blake comes to mind, 'Every day has a moment of eternity trying to reach you.'"

Wild Beauty, Original Contemporary Farmhouse Equestrian Painting
24" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist.
A simple approach to an equestrian portrait, this gestural acrylic painting by artist April Moffatt puts the horse face to face with the viewer of the composition, engaging with a subtle eye contact to evoke a deeper emotional connection. The neutral color palette is reminiscent of a sepia toned photograph, which gives a sense of nostalgia and charm to the work. There is something calming about the painting, perhaps due to the therapeutic nature horses can have with humans. This work would be right at home on a barn ranch in Texas, but could also help bring the mid-western, country vibe to a more eclectic or transitional environment as well.

This large-format oil painting by artist William O'Connor is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist painter Arshile Gorky. With sporadic paint strokes and undulating organic shapes strewn about the canvas, this work has an energy and rhythm that carries the viewer on a journey. A golden yellow covers most of the composition, while shapes of red, blue, purple, and pink bring about moments of rest. Black and white contours...
