Miranda McArthur
Olive Grove and Poppies, Contemporary Impressionist Pastel on Paper.

2022

About the Item

A contemporary Impressionist pastel on paper by British artist Miranda McCarthy. Signed to the bottom right and presented in a black case frame. The softness of pastel as a medium for this lazy day in an olive grove surrounded by poppies in the south of France is the perfect choice to create a magical impressionistic effect to this wild and yet gorgeous landscape. A beautiful balance of colour and perspective make this a picture to lose yourself in over and over again. Miranda, having lived many years in Provence has a great understanding of the local nature and this shows in her delicate attention to detail in this work. The bright Provençal spring light is particularly well understood as here and there it captures the silver backs of the olive leaves and the the heads of yellow spring flowers intermingled with blood red poppies. A thoroughly enchanting scene.

Only A River's (Gonna Make Things Right), Original Signed Landscape Painting
By Dina Gardner
Located in Boston, MA
Only A River's (Gonna Make Things Right), Original Impressionist Landscape Painting 9" x 12" (HxW) Pastel on Paper Hand-signed by the artist. A combination of an impressionist and expressionist landscape, Dina Gardner's interpretation of the light in this gesturally painted artwork gives an energy and vitality to the work, with the use of rich reds and purples to depict the mountain's rock face. The cool blue waters then re-center the work, grounding the composition and giving it a serene feel that calms the viewer. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: I love music. I have it playing in my house and my studio all day long and I sing all day long. While traveling through the national parks in our RV this year, we were constantly listening to music and my head got stuck on an album from Bob Weir...
