About the Item
Artist Comments
"On this painting, I wanted to pay homage to my favorite sport, soccer!" exclaims artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "On the paper, I wrote a little bit of World Cup history, which has been played since 1930. 2018 was the last world cup which was played in Russia! Brazil has won the world cup 5 times, Germany and Italy 4 times, and so on. The little figure drawn on the board is an homage to John Haberle, a 19th-century trompe l´oeil painter that always enjoyed adding his own humoristic touch to his paintings."
About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.

- Flower Girl, Oil PaintingBy Sherri AldawoodLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Sherri Aldawood paints an ethereal portrait of a woman in white. She depicts her young model, Carley, in classical realism. Flowers daintily adorn the figure's brown wavy hair while golden light shines and illuminates her shawl and bouquet.About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.Words that describe this painting: Joaquin Sorolla, John Singer Sargent, woman, female, girl, figure, figurative, portrait, flowers, floral, sunlight, bright, spring, summer, face, season, garden, outdoor, warm, Dan Gerhartz...
