David Forks
Creek, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
"I was on one of my drives through the Texas hill country and wandered upon this beautiful scene," shares artist David Forks. "I immediately noticed the stark contrast between the bright new growing foliage of small sycamores against the dense greens of cedar and oak. The bright sky illuminated the creek with its beaming light casting shadows beneath trees and heightening natural hues of the rocky bank and grasses."


About the Artist
David has always wanted to be a painter. His professional career consisted of design and illustration roles, but it was not until a brush with his own mortality that David decided to change careers and become a full-time artist. “I quit my job in Houston and moved to the small and slow-paced border town of Del Rio, Texas, where I am now living my dream,” he says. Inspired by the outdoors, he often paints outside or takes photographs on his road trips to which he refers once back in his studio. The resulting paintings are marked by impressionist-style brushwork and a natural use of color. David’s pastoral scenes of the countryside are idyllic, invoking within the viewer a serene sense of calm.

Artist Comments
It's my continuing love affair with the forest. Using contrast, I portray the rose of morning rising from the shadows.

About the Artist
Russian-born Tatiana Iliina lives in Montreal and has sold paintings to collectors all over the world. She works with both abstract and representational compositions, with many pieces falling somewhere in between. Some of Tatiana’s paintings could be interpreted as a landscape or a cityscape, or a non-representational articulation of color, giving the viewer the opportunity to make independent decisions about the work. Her long brushstrokes and painterly style are created using a palette knife, resulting in richly textured canvases. Working in a range of colors from muted grays to bold blues, vibrant purples, and glowing oranges, Tatiana’s portfolio reflects an array of moods while maintaining a focus on her iconic style.
