Elizabeth Rickert
American Realist still life of Pink and Yellow Roses

circa 2010

About the Item

American Painter of flowers and garden scenes. Many of her works are in public collections. “It’s interesting where you go in a 45-year art career. I look back now and see that I have learned many different technical skills in oil painting, but what is most important is that I have learned the subtlety of catching a moment in time and portraying the beautiful complexity of that moment in nature, bringing a richness to it that is beyond our conscious, objective ability to describe… beyond our expectations. There is an art to choosing the scene or idea that is compelling enough to make the viewer pause and drink it in, not pass over it as something easily categorized. To see the reflections, the depth of images, the colors that are just a bit beyond everyday reality, and the selection of that scene which calls attention to the visual perfection found everywhere in nature. It is the still moment that hints at the wealth to be found in the backgrounds of our lives. This is my common thread, not a particular palette, the field of view, or subject matter. Take this moment of beauty and freeze it into an object that puts the viewer on notice: Be attentive.” This piece is signed on the reverse and is framed in its original frame.

  • 19th century English oil of still life of fruit, pigeons, apples, pears grapes
    By CHARLES THOMAS BALE
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    19th century English oil of still life of fruit, pigeons, apples, pears grapes. Charles Thomas Bale was born in Soho, London in 1849, the son of Thomas Bale, a basket maker. His older brother Thomas Charles Bale (1831-1899) was an artist and picture restorer. He lived with his family in St James, Westminster and although little is known about his education, he would have undoubtedly received encouragement and drawing tuition from his brother. Bale started exhibiting in 1866 at the Institute of British Artists, Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1872, the same year he married Caroline Leathem. Together, they spent their married life in St Pancras. He specialized in still life paintings predominantly of fruit, but he frequently incorporated baskets, a homage to his family’s profession, as well as pottery, glass, and game. Bale’s work was influenced by the English still-life artists George Lance and William Duffield...

  • "Three Magenta Peonies" contemporary realist oil painting pink flowers on black
    By Rachel Personett
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    "Three Magenta Peonies" is contemporary realist oil painting pink flowers on black background. A classical painting subject and style, with a fresh and intriguing touch. Signed "Personett" lower left corner. Framed in a traditional black frame w gold trim. Framed dimensions: Rachel Personett was born in Hawaii, but raised in Colorado. Being the daughter of a pilot she has always traveled extensively. She has studied part time at the Savannah College of Art and Design, The Angel Academy of Art, and finally settled on the Florence Academy of Art, graduating in 2015. In January 2016 she apprenticed the painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway for eight months. Rachel Personett works strictly from life, and enjoys the challenged of painting the ephemeral. Working from life provides the opportunity to travel around the world painting the ever changing people and landscapes. Artist Statement My mother had studied advertising in college, so she knew a lot about arts and good craftsmanship. She did talks at my elementary school each week and on a different artist. I remember being very moved by the images of Van Gogh and Andrew Wyeth. At the Florence Academy I really liked Sargent, Sorolla, Willard Metcalf, Henri Fantin-Latour and Velazquez. At Odd Nerdrums I gained new respect for Rembrandt and was introduced to other Scandinavian...
