Marty Ricks is known for his Tonalism paintings that have been done in the USA and around Kiev, Russia. Life to me feels very much like a river, wherein strong currents and lazy meanderings carry us along. We have no idea what lies around the next bend. So we fear the unknown and we crave the illumination of light. Life is also like a painting, in that it is all about the contrasts of colors and values. I love to create a sense of light in my work, but the feeling of light emanates from the shadow areas. I’ll sum it up with a borrowed verse from Russell Chatham...

An original signed oil painting on canvas by English artist Thomas Sidney Cooper (1803-1902) titled "Landscape with Resting Sheep", c. 1880. Hand signed by Cooper lower left. Provenance: private collection - Munich, Germany. Framed in a gold ornate gesso frame. Framed size: 15.25" x 17.75". Canvas size: 10.25" x 12.25". Light cosmetic wear to frame. Some craquelure to surface associated with age. In otherwise very good condition. The sheep depicted in this painting by Sidney are likely Leicester Longwools. The Leicester Longwool is an English breed of sheep. Alternative names for the breed include: Leicester, Bakewell Leicester, Dishley Leicester, English Leicester, Improved Leicester and New Leicester. It was originally developed by 18th-century breeding innovator Robert Bakewell. Thomas Sidney Cooper CVO RA (26 September 1803 – 7 February 1902) was an English landscape painter noted for his images of cattle and farm animals. Thomas Sidney Cooper was born in St Peter's Street in Canterbury, Kent, and as a small child he began to show strong artistic inclinations, but the circumstances of his family did not allow him to receive any systematic training. By the time he was twelve years old, he was working in the shop of a coach painter. Later he obtained a job as a scene painter; and he alternated between these two occupations for about eight years. He still felt a desire to become an artist, and all his spare moments were spent drawing and painting from nature. At the age of twenty he went to London, drew for a while in the British Museum, and was admitted as a student of the Royal Academy. He then returned to Canterbury, where he was able to earn a living as a drawing-master and by the sale of sketches and drawings. In 1827 he settled in Brussels and married; there he met Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven. Because of the Belgian Revolution he returned to London, and by showing his first picture at the Royal Academy (1833) began an unprecedentedly prolonged career as an exhibitor. When the competition was announced for the decoration for the new Houses of Parliament, to be held at Westminster Hall in 1847, Cooper submitted The Defeat of Kellermann's Cuirassiers and Carabiniers by Somerset's Cavalry Brigade at Waterloo, June 18, 1815, without success. In order to complete the picture, the artist used Siborne's model of the battlefield then on exhibition in London, while a friend in Brussels sent him breastplates worn by the various cavalry regiments, and a trooper of the Life Guards acted as a model. He is mainly associated with pictures of cattle or sheep,[4] a fact that earned him the epithet "Cow Cooper". Cooper collaborated between 1847 and 1870 with Frederick Richard Lee...

My passion is nature, where everything connects for me. This energy saturates my work.” Cathy Goodale is a dedicated, persistent, and educated artist whose style reflects individuality. Her career has been filled with painting, teaching and learning.

Another trip was with internationally known Richard Schmid for two weeks traveling around Italy. Doing portraits of African children was another adventure.
