Dorothy Cutter
(Untitled) Little Girl Cradling Her Black Cat, in Greens and Chestnut

1965

About the Item

Poignancy. A little girl hugging her black kitty rendered in any realistic palette would be cloying. But not here. You look longer. Tight little patterns bubble over in the background. They’re California artist Dorothy Cutter’s signature motif, an approach she may have embraced during her studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, American University and the California College of the Arts. Lately, the Morro Bay-based artist has turned her eye to undersea photography…a subject area likewise abundant with unexpected coloration and repeating patterns.

English Snow covered Winter Landscape with people by a house, rising Sun
Located in Woodbury, CT
Peter has an absolute love of oil painting and especially admires the masters of Dutch Painting of the 17th Century, which is reflected in his own work. Since 1995, after seeing the work of Estonian artist Olav Maran, Peter decided to review his paintings and started researching ‘Still Life’ painters such as Willem Kalf and De Heem. After experimenting with priming his own panels and canvases with different colours, then painting with thick and thin paint and glazing on top, in the way of the old masters, he has developed a style with detail and atmosphere that is essential in his portrayal of fine wine, fruit and cheeses etc. In a quirky and sometimes conceptual world, Peter makes no apologies for producing traditional subjects where the craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke. His paintings bring much joy and pleasure to those who understand he has an obvious and underlying love of handling paint and observing his subject using techniques that take many years to acquire. Recently he has changed the view point for some of his paintings, to give them a bold contemporary look. Peter Kotka...
