About the Item
Artist Comments
A woman in black walks down a narrow street in Marrakesh, Morocco. "The city is known for its red and ochre walls," states artist Hadley Northrop. "The sun shines at the end of the street, showing the changing colors of the sandstone and emphasizing the figure's silhouette." Hadley had not been to Morocco herself, but the source image from a friend reminded her of John Singer Sargent's Venice paintings. "It was the chance to travel vicariously a little, pay homage to Sargent, and show the calm and confidence of a happily traveling friend."
About the Artist
Hadley’s subject matter is inspired by her San Francisco surroundings, particularly the city at night. Her glowing depictions of light sources are reminiscent of a blurred photograph or a bleary-eyed nighttime stroll. Hadley developed her love for art from her mother, a watercolorist, and continued to pursue her artistic career at a collegiate level and beyond. She now works out of a small studio in San Francisco’s Mission District. Hadley goes into her studio seven days a week with her Boston terrier puppy.

Inspired by a photograph, artist Hadley Northrop beautifully captures the enduring charm of a little street that remains unchanged over the years. "There is something irresistible about lit-up windows at night," shares Hadley. Set against the cobalt blue sky, the lights ranging from cream to persimmon cast a warm and inviting glow to the scene. "I used to live in England and loved the ordinary old buildings."

Bright sunlight bathes a quiet street in Mormant, France. White houses with red roofs stand out against a vivid green lawn and a clear blue sky. Trees cast gentle shadows on the ground. Painted with brush and palette knife, the vibrant colors evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility.
