Hadley Northrop
Downtown Cafe, Oil Painting

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
"The historic Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles has a cafe on its street level called Best Girl," explains artist Hadley Northrop. "The floor is a classic black and white checkerboard, and all day long people pass through this utilitarian but welcoming space. The figures in this painting, preoccupied and temporal, are at work, but it's a scene of calm activity - the serenity of a quiet pause in the day for coffee." Please note: this painting has stapled edges, so framing is recommended for optimal display.


About the Artist
Hadley’s subject matter is inspired by her San Francisco surroundings, particularly the city at night. Her glowing depictions of light sources are reminiscent of a blurred photograph or a bleary-eyed nighttime stroll. Hadley developed her love for art from her mother, a watercolorist, and continued to pursue her artistic career at a collegiate level and beyond. She now works out of a small studio in San Francisco’s Mission District. Hadley goes into her studio seven days a week with her Boston terrier puppy.

  • Rainbow Harvest, Oil Painting
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jinny Tomozy presents a realistic still life of vibrant and colorful produce - an intimate look at the gardener's prize. "I can not resist the bounty of a fresh harvest," says Jinny. The saturated hues of the fruits that have been nurtured all summer finally come to reveal themselves. The shine of the plump globes displays a dance of highlights among the gathering.


    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...
