About the Item
Artist Comments
Part of artist Michael Wedge's series exploring the contrasts between various periods with urban scenes and rural environments. This piece shows two figures gathering hay in the middle of an empty city street. The woman looks to her right as if waiting for incoming traffic while the man continues to shovel behind her. A tree grows fully atop a tall building while a cow grazes just beside it.
About the Artist
Michael Wedge works in a variety of mediums: sculpture, painting, mixed media and more. He oftentimes starts with a mental image and creates digital collages, which become the basis for his paintings. A lot of his work references themes from his personal life, such as the experience of living in a city versus in the countryside. If his art seems mysterious, it;s because he enjoys making complex works. "I am attracted to images or moments that seem to have something subtle or hidden under the surface," he explains. When he;s not making art, he teaches it at an elementary school.

- A Quiet Country HomeBy Sharon FranceLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
I live on an old farmstead in the Midwest where I paint quiet, country scenes from my imagination. These contemporary folk art landscapes are created simply from the heart. I want to capture the feeling of peace and serenity that I love about the country. This painting was inspired from old country houses I have seen over the years on rural back roads. I set the house in a simple, slightly abstracted golden field with a blue sky filled with wispy clouds. This piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. The work comes ready to hang.About the Artist
