  • Blushing Tones, Original Painting
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jinny Tomozy paints a realistic still life of a fresh bouquet. She paints the soft, toned hues of the petals that emerge from the grey background. The colors subtly intensify towards the left side of the painting, and soften towards the right, creating a gradual shift in color saturation levels. This transition creates an underlying movement from one side to the other.


    About the Artist
    Artist Jinny Tomozy reveals the most tender aspects of nature through the sculptural forms of flowers. Her strikingly realistic floral watercolors connect us to the familiar emotions we experience in viewing the spectacular or mundane circumstances of this place we call home. "I am captivated by light touching a surface, the nuances of a shadow, interplays of color, and of other complex facets of our visual world," shares Jinny. After twenty-two years as a teacher of foundations in art education and placing her creative aspirations on hold, she now pursues art full-time and spends more of her days painting and creating. Jinny captures tangible feelings of space and time in her studio at Reno Art Works. In this non-profit gallery, a community of eleven artists works in an emerging art...

  • Ranunculus Shindig, Original Painting
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jinny Tomozy exhibits a realistic portrait of a Ranunculus bouquet. "Ranunculus are similar to roses but have more delicate petals that are tissue-thin and in greater numbers," describes Jinny. Layers and layers of petals that transition from cool greens in the center to warm pinks and yellows make them a delightful subject matter. Jinny creates the piece from several different references and arranges it into one bouquet.

  • Trompe L'oeil [untitled]. Homage... Ter Nagedachtenis van S. G. Wezel oud 76 Jar
    Located in New York, NY
    Trompe l'oeil [untitled]. Homage.... Ink drawing, multimedia, 1837. Paper size 13.13 x 16.44" (33.3 x 41.8 cm). On watermarked paper "Blauw and Briel." Overall good condition. Small tears and the occasional bit of paper missing at the paper edge. Original color. Center paper crease - as issued. We believe the artist created this artwork on a sheet of paper that had been previously bound in a book. Dutch trompe l'oeil drawing with pen & ink, pencil, sepia, and black chalk, wax seal, and painted pigment. This montage of early 19th century ephemera depicts sheet music, scenic views, a sealed letter, cards, a portrait of an unknown sitter, and a penned sheet noting ... van S. G. Wezel Wassenaar, October 1837. Is this a homage to the individual portrayed, a metaphorical self-portrait, or just a random assortment of ephemera beautifully composed? The artist keeps us wondering and visually appeased by a striking harmony created through contrast. This piece starts with sheet music entitled; Romance Larghetto No 2. There is a Psalm and Op Jezus Geboorte (On Jesus Birth...
