About the Item
Artist Comments
This painting is one of my impressions of the quiet ; peace of the rural American Heartland. I have long been drawn to old farmsteads and wanted to portray the feel of a vast sky over this one. I most often work from memories of scenes that I love from the country. My contemporary folk art landscapes are painted simply from the heart. In my work I strive to capture the feeling of quiet peace and serenity that I find in the country. This acrylic painting is done on .75 deep, gallery wrap canvas, with the sides painted dark green to match. It comes ready to hang.

Artist Comments
I live on an old farmstead in the Midwest where I paint quiet, country scenes from my imagination. These contemporary folk art landscapes are created simply from the heart. I want to capture the feeling of peace and serenity that I love about the country. This painting was inspired from old country houses I have seen over the years on rural back roads. I set the house in a simple, slightly abstracted golden field with a blue sky filled with wispy clouds. This piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. The work comes ready to hang.About the Artist

- Nowhere to Go but Up, Oil PaintingBy Diane FlickLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"This painting celebrates the joy and the art of the frolic, the fanciful, and the free!" says artist Diane Flick. Loosely inspired by Mary Poppins with a nod to her in the title, Diane explores her playful imagination by drawing an expansive landscape with random and happy imagery conceived in pure delight. Having just given birth to her second child when beginning this piece, Diane spent that summer enjoying the new addition to her family, rolling down imaginary hills with childlike enthusiasm, wrapping herself in the sweetness of new motherhood again, and painting.About the Artist

Each of Diane’s robots expresses its own humanlike and idiosyncratic personality. From an early age, she had a fascination with inanimate objects and often imagined what they would be like with human characteristics. Her portfolio explores the human experience through non-human subjects.Words that describe this painting: surrealism, pop surrealism, robot, balloons, chair, scarf, ostrich, Eric Joyner...
