About the Item
Artist Comments
Warm light spills from a bar onto a calm New York City street. Patrons sit at the counter, their heads partially illuminated by the soft glow of hanging lamps. The scene captures a quiet moment in an urban setting, examining the paradox of solitude within public spaces and that of the 120-minute hour. Artist Keith Thomson used oil paint and ink to create the scene.
About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.

About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths...

Four tiny cabins nestle among autumn foliage, with rolling mountains and fluffy clouds providing a serene backdrop. A rutted dirt road leads from their entryways and winds alongside a tall birch tree in the foreground. The vibrant colors exude an enchanting, cheerful, and whimsical charm.
