About the Item

"Reflective Moments" by Derek Harrison (US based) is an original oil painting that depicts the back of a nude model in front of a mirror. Derek Harrison is a representational painter who works in the classical tradition, creating contemporary figurative and landscape works. Inspired by many 19th century artists, Harrison’s work has become a culmination of classical techniques with the ability to portray contemporary subject matter in a timeless manner. After his study at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, Derek continued his art education through workshops, seminars and classes with accomplished artists, including Jeremy Lipking, Morgan Weistling and Sean Cheetham. In 2014, Derek was featured in Southwest Art Magazine in their highly regarded “21 under 31.” Prior to his 31st birthday, Derek began winning several awards for his paintings. Two years in a row he received 1st place honors at the annual “Artists of Inspiration/Artwalk” at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. He was the 2nd place recipient in the 2013 Bold Brush painting competition and has since become a judge for the contest. In addition to works published in Southwest Art, he has had his work published in American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur and several collective art books. He is currently a member of the California Art Club (exhibiting at the annual Gold Medal Exhibition), the OPA (Oil Painters of America) and the Portrait Society of America. His works are held in many private and corporate collections; including Disney, the collection of musician Richie Sambora and the collection of Sue Kroll (president of Warner Bros. worldwide marketing), The Warner Group. He has had paintings included/shown on Anthony Bourdain‘s show “Layover,” Rob Dyrdek‘s “Fantasy Factory,” and the feature film “Gringo” featuring Charlize Theron. He currently works and resides in his downtown studio located in Santa Barbara, California

"Lost in Thought" Oil Painting
By Kelly Birkenruth
Located in Denver, CO
Kelly Birkenruth's (US based) "Lost in Thought" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a lone female figure in profile looking towards Japanese blossoms in the background while resting her elbow on her knee. Kelly Birkenruth’s captivating paintings are in the style of contemporary realism while staying firmly grounded in the tradition of the Old Masters. She is able to pull the viewer into her paintings by interweaving emotion with a humanistic quality through her supreme handling of light. Through her portraits and still lifes she is able to evoke sensitivity and empathy, which in turn allows her to create images which transcend mere representation to capture the true essence of her subject. Kelly’s arresting compositions, draftsmanship, use of color and observation of detail allow her to create paintings with a timeless quality. After earning her degree from Pennsylvania State University, Kelly moved to southern California where she began a career as a fashion model. Her agency soon sent her abroad to Paris and Tokyo, where she spent the next several years modeling. When she wasn’t walking the runway, she spent endless hours in the great museums of the world, closely observing and studying the works of the Old Masters. “My time abroad, particularly in Paris, opened my eyes to the vast beauty and power of a great painting. After that I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to the pursuit of Fine Art” said Birkenruth. After returning to the States, Kelly studied at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles, CA. She then continued her studies through workshops and private study with renowned artists such as Daniel Sprick, Steven Assael and Jesus Emmanuel Villarreal. In the spring of 2019 Kelly...

In the Calm, Oil Painting
By Gary Leonard
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard juxtaposes a realistic figure clothed in a floral dress against a dreamy background that hints at a wild garden. The spotlight heightens her reserved gesture and timid expression while giving her skin a soft glow. Shadows on her face, neck, and body create a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the composition. "This work creates an atmosphere of calm, blending the woman's soft countenance and pastel greens of nature. "


About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
