About the Item

An oil painting of a verdant, wooded area, painted en-plein air in Arkansas. An old, rusted, abandoned race-car, a BMW Triumph, is the focal point behind a time-honored stone wall. Dappled light peeks through the trees from above, casting spots of lilac, blue and golden hues around the landscape. Painting dimensions: 12 x 16 inches Framed dimensions: 16.25 x 20.25 inches Framed in a traditional style stock frame. Black with gold inner trim. 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.
