Jon Doran
"Morning Swimmer 5" Original Oil painting

2023

About the Item

"Morning Swimmer 5" by Cornish artist Jon Doran, crafted in 2023, is an evocative oil painting that captures the serenity of a solitary moment in nature. Measuring 100 x 80 cm and framed to a size of 103.50 x 83.50 cm, this artwork exudes a sense of peace and introspection. The central focus of the painting is a solitary figure, seemingly female, wading into the serene waters. The morning sunlight casts a gentle, soft glow on her form, making her seem almost ethereal. Her positioning, with the water reaching her mid-torso and her gaze directed forward, suggests a moment of pause, perhaps to take in the beauty around her or to reflect on her thoughts. The water is depicted with a masterful blend of colors, from the deeper turquoise and aqua hues suggesting depth, to the light, shimmering reflections that dance on its surface. The play of light on water is captured with meticulous detail, conveying the fluidity and translucence of the waves. The various shades of blue and green, interspersed with whites and creams, not only depict the water's movement but also mirror the sky's vastness. To the left of the composition, rugged cliffs rise imposingly, blanketed in a lush growth of trees and foliage. These cliffs, painted in earthy browns, deep greens, and shadowy blacks, provide a stark contrast to the open water and sky, grounding the scene with a sense of stability and permanence. The texture of the cliffs is rendered with thick, confident brush strokes, imparting a feeling of raw, untamed nature. The sky is a breathtaking expanse of cerulean and pale blues, with patches of white suggesting clouds or areas where the sunlight breaks through. The horizon, where the sky meets the distant land, is painted with softer, muted colors, hinting at the vast distances and the mysteries that lie beyond. The overall mood of "Morning Swimmer 5" is one of contemplation and connection with nature. The juxtaposition of the solitary swimmer against the vastness of the landscape invokes feelings of introspection, solitude, and reverence for the natural world. Framed and ready-to-hang, this painting would undoubtedly be a captivating addition to any collection, offering viewers a tranquil escape into a moment frozen in time.

  • The Sailor is a 11 x 8" oil Cuban-American Water Impressionism
    By Reynier Llanes
    Located in Houston, TX
    REDUCED FROM $3000 The Sailor is a 11 x 8" oil painting by Cuban-American artist Reynier Llanes who lives in Miami. It is framed. It is oil painted on a wood panel . The Sailor floats in the frame. The background of Reynier Llanes is unique in style , subject matter, and medium. The artist says this about Field of Flight The characters in my paintings emerge from stories and their journeys are inspired by my own experiences and daily routines. My inspiration comes from literature, music, cinema, and daily life. My daily routine enables me to meditate and use my creativity to serve these stories and inspirations. I begin my mornings with sketches and watercolors. This is the time I use to keep inventory of my ideas and to allow them to further inspire me. Many of these characters have been depicted in my work before, whether in a different geographical location or in a different state of their physical evolution. I use a variety of mediums in my work including oils, watercolors, coffee, and charcoal. They are all equally important to me as they allow me full expression, each in its’ own sector. I use a great deal of symbolism in my art to give depth to the subjects that I wish to express. I want my art to tell a story in a manner that stimulates the imaginations of others, especially of things never seen or expressed directly. As an observer it is clear to see that we are all in pursuit of life’s mission of working, loving, and belonging. I begin my paintings by building layers of textures and color values, and then subtly add dimension and depth. Through the use of colors and highlighting I am able to enhance the atmosphere with mood, character, depth and mystery, and bring special attention to my subjects. It is the creative process of using these materials and methods that feed my soul, life, and being. I believe it is our mission as intellectuals to have a voice in our society, for our work to have a footprint in history, and to be a reference for future generations. BIO: Reynier Llanes was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1985. He attended the city’s school of art (Instructores de Arte) for four years and completed his studies in 2004. Llanes was tutored by one of the country’s most recognized realist artists, Juan Miguel Suárez. In 2005 he moved to Havana where he continued his studies and collaborated with various artists. The capital was a thriving mecca of art and culture and the museums the grounds for inspiration. In 2007 LIanes availed himself of an opportunity to emigrate from Cuba and moved to the United States, first settling in Naples, FL. In Naples he began to introduce his work in a major exhibition entitled “Strange Visitor” at the Kapo Maestro Gallery. In 2009 he relocated to Charleston, SC where he had the honor of being granted an artist in residency at the Jonathan Green Studios. Llanes was awarded a "first purchase award" for a piece now in the art collection of the city of Charleston 2011 at Moja Art Festival Juried Exhibition Award. In 2012 Oxford America recognized him as one of the "New Superstars of Southern Art." The art of Reynier was nourished by the rich southern culture and he began to collaborate with various museums and art centers. His work was featured in a traveling exhibition The Vibrant Vision Collection at the Morris Museum in Augusta, GA and the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC. Llanes is also an avid art collector in his own right, focusing on works by artists from Cuba, and particularly those from his native province of Pinar del Río. A selection of works from his collection was exhibited at City Gallery in Charleston in 2013 and in the Art Museum in Myrtle Beach in 2015. In 2015 Llanes relocated with his family to Miami in order to take advantage of the city’s international art market and vibrant cultural life and to be closer to his home country. South Florida is, of course, home to a large community of intellectuals, collectors, and fellow artists who have welcomed Llanes into their cosmopolitan scene. His first solo exhibition in Miami took place at Miami Dade College West, this exhibition was entitled “Preserving Cultural Heritage” and it featured a large collection of coffee paintings. In 2017 he met Bill Meek...
