Brian Blood
Point Lobos

circa 1995

About the Item

This oil on board is by the well-known California plein air artist Brian Blood (1962-). The painting depicts Point Lobos, just south of Monterey Bay. It measures 12 inches x 15 inches (16.5 inches x 19.5 inches framed.) The painting is composed of oil on board. It is unsigned, but on the reverse is a label indicating it is by Brian Blood. The title is also on the reverse. Judging by the price of $1,200 on the label, this painting was probably done in the 1990’s, perhaps when he was an instructor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, before Blood’s paintings became extremely popular and sought after. The painting and frame are in very good condition. Brian Blood, a resident of Pebble Beach, California, is widely recognized as one of California’s most important plein air impressionist artists. He began his professional life as a graphic artist and art director in Boston, Massachusetts. Although Blood's career was successful, he was frustrated personally and realized he wanted to be a fine-art painter. A leap across the continent to California took him to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for both undergraduate and graduate studies. Blood was later an instructor at the Academy of Art University for 12 years. From the 1990s, Brian Blood has been painting full time as well as conducting landscape painting classes at his alma mater. He also conducts ongoing workshops in his studio, and surrounding areas of Pebble Beach, California. Blood has had his work featured in articles in Southwest Art Magazine (May 2002, and March 2005); Art of The West Magazine (March/April 2004); American Artist Magazine (January 2004); Plein Air Magazine (December 2005); and The Central Coast Journal (October 2005)
