About the Item
Work on canvas
20th century painter
The work here presents a magnificent seascape painting, where every detail seems meticulously thought out to captivate the viewer. The setting appears to be a picturesque harbor at dusk, bathed in a soft golden light. In the foreground, a man in a boat stands against the light, his silhouette standing out against the calm water. The subtle, nuanced reflections of light on the water are rendered with impressive precision, creating a sensation of serenity and immensity. The boats moored along the quay, with their sails raised and inflated by the wind, bring this harbor scene to life. Their earthy colors and elegant shapes invite the eye to explore every corner of the picture. On the left, a windmill dominates the scene, symbolizing the link between land and sea. The mill's stone and wood construction, enhanced by the soft light, adds a rustic, authentic touch to the whole. To the right, period houses, with their sloping roofs and smoking chimneys, continue the atmosphere of an ancient port. The exceptionally delicate sky changes from blue to pale pink, reflecting the light of the setting sun. This subtle color transition evokes a calm, soothing atmosphere, accentuated by the light clouds that seem to float gently by. The details of the people on the quay add a human dimension and bring the scene to life. Their discreet presence suggests a peaceful, everyday activity, while the immensity of the seascape dominates. In short, this is a masterly work, in which every element - from the water to the buildings, from the sky to the boats - contributes to the creation of a harmonious, powerful maritime scene. The play of light and the meticulous details testify to a remarkable artistic talent.

"Tbilisi Nocturne" - contemporary realist urban plein air painting, cityscape
By Rachel Personett
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted from life, the artist standing on a street corner looking across to three buildings lit by ambient street lights. Rising up behind the city is a dark mass, a hill silhouetted against the comparatively brighter blue night sky.
Signed "Personett" lower right corner.
Framed in a traditional black frame w gold trim.
Framed dimensions: 17 x 15 inches
Rachel Personett was born in Hawaii, but raised in Colorado. Being the daughter of a pilot she has always traveled extensively. She has studied part time at the Savannah College of Art and Design, The Angel Academy of Art, and finally settled on the Florence Academy of Art, graduating in 2015. In January 2016 she apprenticed the painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway for eight months. Rachel Personett works strictly from life, and enjoys the challenged of painting the ephemeral. Working from life provides the opportunity to travel around the world painting the ever changing people and landscapes.
Artist Statement
My mother had studied advertising in college, so she knew a lot about arts and good craftsmanship. She did talks at my elementary school each week and on a different artist. I remember being very moved by the images of Van Gogh and Andrew Wyeth. At the Florence Academy I really liked Sargent, Sorolla, Willard Metcalf, Henri Fantin-Latour and Velazquez. At Odd Nerdrums I gained new respect for Rembrandt and was introduced to other Scandinavian painters...

"Daniels Lane" contemporary oil on resin painting colorful modern farm landscape
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a landscape in Sagaponack NY. Lines radiate across the canvas towards the bottom and right side of the canvas in shades of yellow, brown and orange, indicating rows of plants or tilled soil in a field. The field is surrounded by lush thick brush-stokes in shades of green flecked there and there with bright orange. The top fourth of the painting shows the sky, full of points of paint, most under the resin. The white dots above the resin cast shadows below, adding dimension to the piece. The two radiating lines that surround the lower righthand corner are also painted above the resin, one white and one a swirl of primary colors loosely mixed together. The raw white gessoed linen canvas is clearly visible between the precisely placed brush-strokes, all sealed under resin...
