About the Item

ARTIST'S STATEMENT The inspiration for my paintings comes from images of landscapes; the urban landscape and the narrative of my "inner landscape." Within these worlds, I express my vision of the intertwined tensions between beauty, spirituality, and turmoil which are reflective of the inherent struggle of life. I express the life energy of the landscape using gestural brushwork. The gestural freedom is juxtaposed against areas of intricate, detailed passages. An atmospheric light quality created with bold color and high contrast gives the paintings a glow. All of these elements combine to create a charged sensual image.

The Orange Wall of San Miguel #2
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A quiet street of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico is the subject of this painting by Carole Garland. An elderly woman cautiously makes her way along a narrow path using a tree to lend support. The orange wall provides much needed shade in the afternoon heat. Light seeps through the branches of a colorful bougainvillea patterning the orange bulwark. Artist Carole Garland who studied art in both San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City shares her appreciation of the simplicity of this quiet backstreet in a Mexican town. A special moment in time is brought to life. Garland uses the scumbling technique and a paint laden palette knife to achieve texture and depth in the leaves, the branches and the rough pavement of the street. This oil on wood panel is 16"x20" and its natural wood sides serve as a frame. The painting is wired for easy hanging. This is a stand-alone artwork but was conceived as a companion piece to Orange Wall of San Miguel #1. Together they are 16"x 40". Artist Carole Garland has appeared in numerous venues throughout Southern California, including several juried California Art Club exhibits and individual shows at TAG Gallery in Los Angeles. Her work has recently appeared at the West Los Angeles College Art Gallery; the Rose Cafe, Venice; Topanga Canyon Art...

Yosemite Reflections
By Carole Garland
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Yosemite Reflections" It's a winter's day in Yosemite. A recent snowfall powders the creekside brush, the twigs and the fallen branches. Beyond and out of sight, the stately and towering pine trees cast shimmering reflections and dark shadows. The air is clear and cold and the moment is filled with wonder. Fine artist Carole Garland's Yosemite painting...

La Mer (the Sea)
By Jean Adele Wolff
Located in Palm Desert, CA
This painting was inspired by the many themes within my art. Duality is seen in the changing textures and colors, creating a strong sense of depth, concave to convex as well as dark to light. Emergence, another theme, occurs with each layer of paint. New forms start to emerge as if by magic, creating a sense of excitement and mystery. In this painting I hope to evoke the feeling of beauty as well as the challenges of the sea. Jean Wolff - Born 1947, Cleveland, Ohio Jean received her Bachelor’s degree with honors from the University of Wisconsin. She continued her studies in sculpture and painting at Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles, CA and the University of California, Los Angeles. Jean Wolff’s artwork has been exhibited in numerous galleries and owned in public and private collections throughout the United States. Representative venues include Gensler & Associates; Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery; Aaron Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Irvine College Gallery, Irvine, CA; Shidoni Gallery, Santa Fe, NM; University of Connecticut Invitation Sculpture Show; Concordia University, Irvine, CA; Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, CA; Social and Public Art Resources, Venice, CA; Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, CA; Marriott by Courtyard, Sherman Oaks...

After the Rain, Rebecca Tucker, Contemporary Landscape Art, Pastel Coloured Art
Located in Deddington, GB
After the rain [2021] Signed by the artist Acrylic on wooden panel Image size: H:51 cm x W:51 cm x D:2cm Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look I have always been a bit obsessed with horizons and how a horizontal line on a painting becomes 'landscape' in the viewers mind. I love the idea of suggesting a landscape, but then abstracting the subject and using the materials in such a way that the texture and details made by the paint, and the grain of the wood panel, are as important if not more so than the subject itself." Rebecca enjoys balancing on the fine line between abstraction and representation, to imply a landscape with paint rather than accurately visually recording it. Her landscapes are somehow subliminal. Somehow ‘other’. Somewhere not quite real. An idea or a memory of a landscape. She aims to create an emotionally charged atmosphere with colour and texture and line, working with paint for paint’s sake. Rebecca Tucker...
