About the Item
Reservoir Trail - Palmer Lake, Original Contemporary Magical Realism Painting
24" x 30" x 1.25" (HxWxD), Oil on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist.
This vibrant painting by artist Gina Blickenstaff invites the viewer into an unearthly world full of color and mystique. The winter scene of the Colorado landscape depicts a snow covered ground that glows in shades of blue and purple. Burst of color depict small batches of brush and plant growth along the water's edge that are enduring the cold winter months. Vibrant green foliage and pine needles in the top right and left corners of the canvas draw your eye upwards, while the sporadic depiction of rocks in the foreground bring your focus around in a circle.
Artist Commentary:
What a magical little winter scene this was on my way up to Palmer Lake Reservoir (here in Colorado)! Nature never disappoints!
About the Artist:
I specialize in portraiture, with a particular fondness for the Mother and Child theme, although any depiction of the “love aspect” is what inspires me. How we connect with those close to us is, in my opinion, the deciding factor on how we progress on the spiritual path. It is not our career accomplishments or the development of our talents - it is how we kiss the hand of the person walking our path with us on this journey. When I depict relationships in my figurative works, I am keen to keep this in mind and hope to inspire my viewers to take care with those small precious moments. I also paint still lifes and landscapes. Any excuse to pick a bouquet of flowers or go for a hike in search of a riveting landscape is most welcome. Recently I began an “Around Town” series which brings new excitement for me in exploring our personal relationships within the enticing moods of the big (or little) city. My approach to art includes: my reverence for all forms of life and the loving and creative relationships which they form, recognition of the light that pervades all, and a love of color. I have exhibited in many art shows over the years and have won many awards, although I took a break from that promotional path for a while. Currently, I have picked up that path again and am presently enjoying an Honorable Mention in a local “Color” exhibit at 3 Square Art Gallery and some exposure in the following online exhibitions: Biafarin “Extinction”, Art Fluent “Within”, Arts Benicia “Contemporary Figurative Work”, and Fusion “Cityscape”. They are all international exhibits. In 2007, I received the Lorenzo di Medici President’s Award at the Biennale in Florence, Italy. My professional career has spanned thirty four years so far and has included illustration, graphic design, mural painting, teaching, and fine art. Portraiture has remained my passion and become my specialty. Whatever the conditions of life, you can always find me behind an “art desk” of one kind or another, be it an easel, a camera lens or a computer!

A Walk along the River
By Marion Buricatu
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary:
I’ve always wanted to paint a series on La Fleche, and it is happening… slowly. I love the very particular, soft lighting that seems so characteristic of the Loire Valley. Then, as I was looking through some pictures, this photo caught my painting teacher’s eye. She said, “I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with this one!” This painting has three “fun” things about it. First, it is painted over a bright orange base coat like the two others in the series. Second, painting complementary colors over one another (the blue of the water over the orange base) normally results in something very similar to… mud. I had to be very careful! Third, this may not sound fun but I love painting grass and foliage - I use a technique where you hold the paintbrush at its tip, and just turn it around and around so the brushstrokes are almost touching. Do you have pictures saved where you always wonder, “what would that look like as a painting?” Or, “how would an artist or painter interpret my vacation picture?” You never know if they’ll start by painting the canvas orange!
