Artist Comments
A portrait of a woman in a yellow dress set against a fiery backdrop. The woman's careful gaze evokes feelings of mystery and secrecy, which along with the setting, creates a feeling of ambiguity and uncertainty.
About the Artist
Artist Kristen Brown sheds light on the fragility of memories with her dreamlike portraits. Kristen uses her knowledge of photography to create motion blur, distortion and multiple exposures in her oil paintings, overlapping figures, landscapes and cityscapes. The models in her paintings are referenced from people close to her, and the locations are significant places from various time periods throughout her life. "I will often use multiple places or time periods in a painting to illustrate the idea of being taken back into a past moment from a current one, or the idea of the past and present feeling as though they are happening simultaneously," she explains. In the rare cases when she is not painting, you can find her printmaking, dabbling in ceramics, traveling, playing guitar or meditating. Kristen graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada and a Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA.

- 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...
