About the Item

The beautiful Santa Monica Coastline is cloaked in a foggy mist until the Marine Layer slowly lifts by late morning. Artist Carole Garland captures the moment from the Palisades bluffs which overlook the Pacific Coast Highway. The Santa Monica Beach and the Pacific Ocean are revealed and come into focus. By late morning the sun will come out and all will be bright again. Southern Californians call it "May Gray" or "June Gloom", an annual part of the seasonal calendar. Artist Carole Garland finds much to play with in this abstracted atmospheric land and seascape. The Santa Monica Pier is all but obscured in the background. Garland employs a scumbling technique (using a dry brush with opaque paint) to great effect throughout this small work. The foreground shrubbery is minimized while the Santa Monica "skyscrapers" are lit up. Colors are muted and blended to embrace the moment. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has taken numerous workshops with such plein air painters as Frank Serrano, Linda Jacobson, Calvin Liang and Jeff Horn. She most recently studied with David Gallup, fine artist and former vice-president of the California Art Club.

Venice Beach
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Depicts Carole Garland reveling in a hot summer day at the Venice Beach. Colorful beach umbrellas shield the timid from the burning sun while sunbathers bask in the searing heat. Yellow and blue ribbons floating on the wind celebrate Venice’s chaos and its whimsy. To focus the figure of a preteen who stands sentinel, Garland fades out the foreground sunbather on right and obfuscates the crouching man on left. The artist leads us to the groups of mysterious standing and sitting figures in the shadows and beyond. Garland’s collection of figurative work speaks to a contemporary sensibility in her approach to painting, while expressing a curiosity about the human form and an irrepressible concern for the human spirit. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has worked privately with artists Keith Finch and Ron Pekar, taken numerous workshops and was mentored by David Gallup...

A Day at the Beach
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Burning sun, waves lapping at the shore, the lingering scent of suntan lotion – it’’s an endless summer day at the beach. Carole Garland evokes the heat, wind and sand of a day along the Southern California coast. Swimmers and onlookers cool off in the Pacific waters waiting for the next surge or ripple.
