About the Item
Artist Comments
Two dainty roses blossom next to each other while a little bud eagerly awaits to join them. The sun casts a warm glow onto the pink petals and green leaves, creating a delicate shadow that highlights their details. Artist Hilary Gomes uses traditional grisaille underpainting techniques and glaze layers to create luminous and vibrant artwork.
About the Artist
Bay Area artist Hilary Gomes creates classical renditions of flowers in gardens. “I paint ephemeral images of blooming roses as a vessel for the nature of impermanence,†says Hilary. "My alluring contemporary garden compositions dream into the beauty of floral painting traditions. Painting is in flux and alive similar to observing nature." Hilary studied at Ruth Aswawa School of the Arts High School in San Francisco and then earned her BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Art and Science in New York City. She received her MFA in Painting from The University of Iowa. While in New York, a defining moment for her came from viewing Henri Fantin-Latour's paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Teaching informs Hilary's art practice. She has been a full-time tenured female faculty at Foothill College in Los Altos, CA from 2001 to the present and chairs the department of art. Hilary's art studio is on the first floor of her home looking out into her garden. “My clean and environmentally solvent-free studio is filled with light, house plants, a large standing easel, and a small table easel. I also paint outdoors in my backyard with the sounds of nature and fresh air.â€

Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga illustrates a still life of a vintage milkmaid ornament. "I found this lovely figurine on eBay and decided to buy it and paint it," shares Jose. A rare and unique decoration that implies elegance in its simplicity. He highlights the rustic quality of its costume, face, and posture.About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.Words that describe this painting: still life, classical realism, milkmaid, elegance, peasant, Harnett, milkmaid, Vermeer, small, oilpaint, classical, figurine, vintage, still life, classical, oil painting, beige
