About the Item
Arastradero Plein Air
Christina Kent
8 in. x 10 in.
Oil on panel, unframed
Signed on the reverse; certificate of authenticity available upon request
In Arastradero Plein Air, Christina Kent captures the shifting beauty of late spring in Northern California with expressive brush and palette knife work. Painted on location at the Arastradero Preserve near Palo Alto, this 8 x 10-inch oil painting evokes the transitional season as grassy hills begin to shift from green to gold beneath a luminous sky.
Textured brushstrokes and dynamic mark-making bring the scene to life, creating a rich interplay of color, light, and movement. Varying shades of green—from soft meadow tones to deep forest hues—anchor the composition, while the bright sky infuses the landscape with energy and openness.
A vivid contemporary take on the California landscape, this piece brings the vibrancy of plein air painting indoors—perfect for collectors who love natural scenery with a modern sensibility.
Unframed and ready to display or custom frame to your preference.
Christina Kent is a full-time figurative painter working primarily in oils. A former PhD economist, Kent's transition to painting was catalyzed by a realization that the rational economic lens was insufficient to capture the profound complexity inherent in human experience. Through her paintings she reflects on the subtle nuances hidden in mundane moments of everyday life. Kent has exhibited at Studio Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Arc Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Inclusions Gallery, San Francisco, CA; and Pence Gallery, Davis, CA; among others. In 2023, Kent was awarded the Emerging Artist Award from Pence Gallery and had her first solo show there in 2024. She was also selected to be a 2024 Artist in Residence at both the Chalk Hill and Pouch Cove artist residencies. Kent currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
