About the Item

"Sailing West" by Sparky LeBold (US and Portugal based) is a handmade oil painting that depicts a moody ocean in Portugal. ARTIST STATEMENT Sparky LeBold has made a name for himself both in America and abroad over the course of his stellar career.  Since graduating from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California (1986), he has been inducted into Who's Who in American Art (2002), has held twelve One-Man Shows across America and in Europe and recognized as a National Artist of Portugal, where townspeople of Sesimbra have lovingly nicknamed him “Picasso Americano”. LeBold's oil paintings are inspired by the beauty he has experienced while traveling all over the world.  His ability to translate what we see in nature onto canvases large and small has resonated with corporate and private collectors for the the past 35 years and captured the attention of The Artist's Magazine when they listed him as “one of the top 50 landscape painters in America”. LeBold is a mysterious and passionate man.  When he moved to Colorado Springs in the mid-1990's and found the art community felt a bit stalled, he founded Cottonwood Art Academy. Cottonwood became an epicenter of creative collaboration and after Sparky's departure, it became Cottonwood Center for the Arts.  Sparky has enjoyed living in the seaside villages of Portugal for the past twenty five years and many of his captivating seascapes are inspired by the Costa Azul he calls home. Sparky's work is full of emotion and spirit, reflecting his desire to communicate and raise awareness for the beauty in nature that we may overlook.  His images hold your attention, touch your soul and leave an imprint that lingers. Not to mention, he has a sweet ponytail.

"Summer Surf II" horizontal oil painting of waves crashing in the ocean
By Annie Wildey
Located in Edgartown, MA
The rhythm of the waves marks time, like the breath. Moment to moment, its intensity fluctuates like emotion. Thoughts linger and pass, like a veil of fog. At the shore I am reminded to be present. It provides a place for contemplation and reflection. I identify with the strength and vulnerability of the ocean when a storm is brewing or passing, when the surf is up, when the fog looms or is lifting, when the horizon is obscured, or the sky begins to clear, I find beauty in these moments of transition. I bring this experience into the studio as I interpret the smells, sounds, feelings, and energy of the water or the quiet movement of fog. The process is fluid, moving between freedom and control, accident and intention, as I push and pull the paint to convey and realize my visual and emotional experiences. BIOGRAPHY Annie is a British painter and printmaker. She moved to New York City in 1989 and worked at the British Consulate. Art remained a part of her life during those years, but in 2006 she left and begin a new chapter, returning to a life with art at the very center and enrolled in an MFA program at the The New York Academy of Art. This provided the instruction, immersion and creative freedom to develop her skills and artistic voice and proved to be a fruitful time bringing with it several awards including a Post-graduate Fellowship, Prince of Wales Scholarships, and travel awards to Normandy, France and St Barts, in the French West Indies. After the fellowship Annie left New York for the East End of Long Island and spent two wonderful years in the quiet hamlet of Orient, as Artist-in-Residence at the William Steeple Davis...
