About the Artist
Artist Gary Leonard enjoys the challenges of figurative work, focusing on color and composition rendered spontaneously to create a lasting impression. His paintings express the delicate beauty and romance of the world, leaving the viewer with a deep sense of warmth and peace. “That which lies within us must be recognized and explored,†says Gary. Inspired by the techniques of the old masters, Gary took inspiration from the works of John Singer Sargent, weaving his influences into his creations. Driven by specific objectives, each of his artworks serves to continuously refine his skills. He gathers references from a collection of photos and experiments with various arrangements to achieve his artistic goals. Gary finds focus while painting to music in his tidy studio, surrounded by his works. Beyond art, Gary works as a marketing designer, explores 3D-printed sculptures, and enjoys playing tunes on the piano.

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard juxtaposes a realistic figure clothed in a floral dress against a dreamy background that hints at a wild garden. The spotlight heightens her reserved gesture and timid expression while giving her skin a soft glow. Shadows on her face, neck, and body create a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the composition. "This work creates an atmosphere of calm, blending the woman's soft countenance and pastel greens of nature. "

A woman poses in a flowing dress of blooming geometric flowers. Her confident stance emits a powerful aura, lit by the radiant background. Part of artist Diana Elena Chelaru's ongoing series of women adorned with colorful flowers.
About the Artist
Romanian-born painter Diana Chelaru’s paintings are colorful and contemporary interpretations of human emotion. For Diana, art is a means of communication. “It is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets and joys,” she says. Though she gets great pleasure from applying paint to canvas, it is the expression of emotions that she finds to be most important. Diana’s style is influenced by Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns within his compositions. Each artwork is created intuitively, resulting in paintings that speak to the soul.
