  • Bloom
    By G. Campbell Lyman
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    (Comes framed in a deep-profile maple floater frame, ready to hang.) Artist's Statement: "I was working on my loose, almost graffiti-like "Rosetta" series when this painting took a turn towards formality, and instead of trying to wrench it back into the Rosetta mold I just let it go where it wanted to. Has my usual insane assortment of mediums . . . " “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work.

  • American Barbizon Painting of “Loading the Cargo” by Frank Russell Green
    By Frank Russell Green
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    A vibrant and luminous work that depicts two men closing burlap sacks laden with goods, presumably to take to market from this small rural village. Standing by patiently is a sturdy black work horse outfitted to drive the covered cargo wagon. The heavy cloud cover and thick jackets suggest the scene takes place in late fall in Northern Europe. It is this atmospheric tonalism and the translucent use of light that made Green's paintings so compelling, the background with a bleary brush stroke that creates a romantic bokeh in the scene while the figures and animal of the foreground are expertly painted with exquisite detail. Frank Russell Green was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 16th of 1856 to Russell and Caroline Green.  Despite receiving no encouragement from his father, he showed an early talent for the brush and in 1873 he left Chicago to paint the Rocky Mountains with several young painters and Henry Elkins (American, 1847-1884).  This trip would heavily influence his passion for landscapes, which he primarily began painting in the Hudson River School taste, and also would shape his preference for plein-air painting.  Much of his early work is characterized by its tonal qualities and shares elements of the Hudson River School, the Old Lyme School...
