About the Item
Abstracted realist gridded landscape showing the change of seasons with a blooming yellow forsythia bush in front of the artist's home
"Forsythia Blooming" by Hudson Valley based artist, Carl Grauer
Oil on canvas
60 x 48 inches, 61 x 49 x 3 inches with a white painted wood floater frame
Signed, verso
Excellent condition and ready to hang
Carl Grauer explores spatio-temporal themes in a new body of work started in the autumn of 2020. Like so many of us on lock down riding out the surges of the pandemic, Grauer retreated to nature near his home and studio in Poughkeepsie, NY. He used this time to slow down and mindfully observe the “minutia of leaves, moving clouds, and the time of day giving up its fight for the night”. Describing a new series of landscapes organized by a grid structure, the artist explains “I paint a perspective that tracks change, point of view, and these fourth-dimensional observations on a two-dimensional surface with oils.”
Here the artist captures a blooming forsythia bush in front of his home. Each 12 x 12 inch square was painted during March to July of 2021, as he observed the flowers and leaves blooming. A bright pink underpainting was used to make the vibrant colors pop in the foreground, elements of which can be seen coming through the white snow, sky, and edges of the painting. A rainbow pride flag waves proudly on the artist's porch, accenting the saturated hues of the yellow forsythia against the vivid blue sky and green painted façade. This painting is complemented with a slim, white painted wood frame and is ready to hang.
Artist Statement:
During the past year there was a need to be in nature, to search for a small touch of a real experience. I found solace in stepping into nature, taking walks, breathing the air and observing with a slowness and mindfulness that comes during times of meditation. And from those moments, I dove into my intrigue with the daily change of a season, the minutia of leaves, moving clouds and the time of day giving up its fight for the night. Using an organized grid as a structure, I paint a perspective that tracks change, point of view and these fourth-dimensional observations on a two-dimensional surface with oils. Here are some works that explore my response to this time and being in the natural world.

Rooftops Power Lines, Five & Diamond: Abstract Cityscape Painting of Hudson NY
By Ricardo Mulero
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract cityscape painting of Hudson, NY rooftops with accents of pink, magenta, green, yellow and teal
"Rooftops Power Lines and Five & Diamond," by Hudson, NY based artist, Ricardo Mulero
12 x 6 inch oil on wood panel, Painted in 2021
Excellent condition, ready to hang as is
Signed, lower left
Ricardo Mulero is fascinated with capturing the brilliance of light and the contrast of natural beauty with utilitarian landscapes. Here, he abstracted the city skyline of Hudson, NY. Buildings and rooftops in shades of magenta, teal, and green are segmented in the foreground and cropped with black power lines. A soft yellow sky is layered with thin strokes of gesturally applied pale blue paint, furthering abstracting the city landscape. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The sides are painted a very dark, warm magenta so framing is not necessary.

My paintings are expressions that draw upon my life experiences, traditions, and surroundings. These unique environments inspire my oil paintings: Puerto Rico, where I grew up, New York City, Fire Island Pines...

16 x 24 inches, 20.75 x 28.5 inches framed
oil on canvas
Wired on Reverse for easy installation
Artist signature on lower left corner
Tony Thompson's combination of masterful technique with sustained contemplation results in paintings that are a delight to behold and make his compositions are a timeless contribution to the genre. The light is the main event in bucolic settings, and the artist makes this challenge look simply effortless.
In this painted, a shadowed tree line of cedar trees dominate the foreground of a meadow richly painted in tones of orange and umber. Wispy tree branches are highlighted by a pale pink sky that reflects the setting sun. Thompson's work is at the same traditional yet freshly relevant to today's environment - a classic landscape that has mass appeal!
