Ginny Williams
A Dance of Sunlight

2024

About the Item

This piece is an original oil painting on linen panel. It was painted on location at Blow-Me-Down Brook in New Hampshire where the Cornish Art Colony, its most well-known member being Willard Metcalf, painted. It depicts a path cutting along a steep slope down to the brook, with sunlight raking through the grasses and wild flowers. It is framed in a hand-made curly maple floater frame with contrasting splined corners. The frame is so lovely, it is two works of art in one! GC Williams has a degree in art history which gave her an understanding of, and appreciation for, not only the art of the past, but the historical events and ideologies that fostered various aesthetics, movements, and styles. She has studied at several classical ateliers, including three years at Boston's Academy of Realist Art. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the US and is included in public and private collections. She maintains a studio on the north shore of Massachusetts. "My work is about the little moments of beauty that comprise our existence: the greening of the landscape in early spring, the glint of light on an object; growing things and made objects. I enjoy creating interesting interactions, and making up narratives. I love the way light animates objects and the life shadows give to a space. Humans are innately creative beings. We create in myriad ways--painting is one of them. I have made pictures for as long as I remember. While I appreciate many kinds of art, for me, the ultimate goal is to make a beautiful painting that show parts of the process--evidence of an individual behind the easel. I love calligraphic brush marks and leaving parts of a picture to the viewer's imagination. I love pairing the realistic with the made-up. In this, we participate in creating art together." Williams is also the owner of Williams Fine Art Dealers, where she represents artists who share her vision of the importance of art in our lives It is her goal to provide a platform for living artists to show their work and to provide a place for the public to have access to a constantly changing variety of museum-quality work by both emerging and established artists

Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
The sky and sea converge in artist Jenn Williamson's arresting panoramic piece. She explores light and darkness, searching for beauty in quiet, unnoticed places, thus creating a spiritual oasis.

Golden Hills XXIV, Oil Painting
By Mandy Main
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
An uplifting, light-filled landscape that combines old world realism with a modern aesthetic. Cumulus clouds gather at the horizon and sweep upward across the sky, enlivening the landscape. The cool blues of the sky contrast with the warm oranges and ochres of the hills. The long horizontal format gives a contemporary feel and a sense of calm.


About the Artist
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th Century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Mandy works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. The artist is captivated by light and shadow, and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Mandy achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
