About the Item

Garden pots in bright colors by Mary Robertson whose still life paintings are celebrated and enjoyed worldwide. Wayne Thiebaud said of her work, "Mary Robertson’s joyous and meditative paintings are colorful simulations of contentment and sacred play.” Here we see a selection of ceramic and terra cotta flower pots nestled in afternoon light, in a still life composition in a celebration of stillness, shape and color. Mary Robertson’s oeuvre focuses on an area she knows intimately—Northern California's Russian River, where she has been painting for over 25 years. The region’s beaches, umbrellas, floats, and figures are iconic in the quiet and intimate paintings, but it is the afternoon Bay Area light that takes center stage, as it interacts with the landscape to create the real magic. Her oil paintings and watercolors have an affinity with the American Realists, the Impressionists, and the Pointillists such as Seurat. When taking in a Robertson scene, there is a sense of time standing still, and being bathed in a lazy California summer glow.
