"Often there is a time at a party when the energy settles down," shares artist Hadley Northrop. "People relax, conversations get deeper, and quiet moments appear that remain fondly in the memory." This painting was inspired by an event at the Headlands Center for the Arts' Mystery Ball. Hadley says most attendees were in costume and coats accumulated on the benches on the periphery of the room. "Something classical about this young woman's reclining pose drew a photographer or two! The colors are warm and her mood is dreamy and content."
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.

- Distant Shores, Oil PaintingBy Malia PettitLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Two models in vintage bathing suits, one with a red swim cap, pose together on a sandy beach. "The overall color scheme is deliberately earthy and muted, with just a few shouts of color in her suit and the turquoise strip of water on the horizon," says Malia. She paired carefully rendered portrait features with loose brushwork to build a nostalgic and somewhat moody atmosphere.About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently lives in California after having lived in England for ten years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.Words that describe this painting: portrait, beach, women, swimsuits, bathing suits, vintage, Milt Kobayashi, Michael Carson , summer, ocean, seascape, sunbathing, models, people, fashion, representational, vintage, oil painting, beige

- Flower Girl, Oil PaintingBy Malia PettitLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A dramatic contemporary portrait. The figure looks out with an intense, piercing glance, balanced by the soft flowers in her hair and gentle blue sky in the background. Artist Malia Pettit explains that the painting is a progression of both her palette and subject matter. "It has all of the elements of my female portraits - dramatic shadows, bold features and sharp contrasting. However, I contrasted these elements with the crown of soft, whimsical, loosely painted flowers to lighten things up. The painting has a geisha-like feel with the high collar and flowing florals."About the Artist

- Surprise Party, Oil PaintingBy Malia PettitLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"The pastel-colored palette is sweet and feminine, like a box of macarons from Laduree," shares artist Malia Pettit. "It's all together like a modern-day Marie Antoinette showing up for her own surprise tea party." Blush pink and peach dominate this candy-colored portrait. With the intuitive addition of pastel green on the background and a snippet on the model's top, a cheerful balance is achieved.About the Artist

- Guy Pene du Bois WPA American Modernism Realism NYC Scene Oil Lawyers in CourtBy Guy Pène Du BoisLocated in New York, NYGuy Pene du Bois' "Two Figures in Courtroom" is a WPA era American scene oil painting created in a realistic style. Modernism at its best The work is framed by Heydenryk. Pène du Bois descended from French immigrants who settled in Louisiana in 1738 and was raised in a Creole household. He was born in 1884 in Brooklyn, NY and first studied with William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art and later continued his training with Robert Henri. Pène du Bois was greatly impressed with Henri's credo that "real life" was subject matter for art and throughout his life a realist philosophy informed his art as well as his parallel career, art criticism. In 1905, Pène du Bois made his first visit to Paris where he painted scenes of fashionable people in cafes rendered in the dark tonalities and impasto associated with the Ashcan School. By 1920, he had achieved his mature style, which was characterized by stylized, rounded, almost sculptural figures painted with invisible brushstrokes. The subjects of his paintings were often members of society whom he gently satirized. In 1924, Pène du Bois and his wife, Floy, left for France where they would remain until 1930. Returning to America showcases pictures the artist produced after this very productive period abroad. After five years of living in France, Pène du Bois was able to observe American life with fresh eyes. His work becomes more psychologically intense and less satirical. In Girl at Table a slender, blond is shown gazing at a small statue that she holds at arm's distance. The meaning is elusive, but a powerful sense of longing is evoked. Similarly, paintings such as Dramatic Moment and Jane are taut with unresolved dialogue. Both pictures depict mysterious interiors in which a lone woman anxiously awaits the denouement of a suspenseful scene. Other pictures, for example, Chess Tables, Washington Square and Bar, New Orleans, recall Pene du Bois's Ashcan origins in their depiction of urban entertainment. During this period, landscape becomes an important subject for Pène du Bois. Girl Sketching...Category
