About the Item

"Another Day" is an oil painting on panel. A winding California road snakes its way up a hill. Houses are perched at the top overlooking brown scrub and rock dotted with lush green growth and palm trees. In the foreground are homes with garages and porches facing the road. Markings on the road remind drivers to "Keep Clear" at an intersection and warns of a stop ahead before a bridge. Right before the bend you can see the break lights of a car almost lost in shadow. Carl Bretzke is a representational painter who specializes in urban scenes and plein-air landscapes. Carl's work has been exhibited extensively in Minnesota and California, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Carl's work has been described in the Washington Post as "simultaneously intimate and detached…The artist's unadorned style recalls Edward Hopper and The Ashcan school." Carl holds an MD degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School. His undergraduate degree is from the University of Colorado, where he also received a minor in Fine Art. Carl has also trained extensively under Plein Air Painters of America signature artist Joseph Paquet.
