About the Item
"Clams #20" By Matthew Hopkins, 2021
Oil on panel
6x8 inches
9.5x11.5 inches framed
Matthew Hopkins corrals commonplace, household objects as the subject of his charming, often miniature depictions in oil. In a recent series, Hopkins turns to the sea to gathers up clam shells, a fascinating shape produced in nature, where similar to snowflakes, no two are the same. Hopkins infuses texture, light and shadow into these uniquely painted gems, and tops off each one with a bit of 24 carat gold leaf!
The painting is complimented with a traditional gold frame that can be hung or propped on a tabletop.
Ideal for your entryway, or as an enviable gift for a fellow fan of traditional still life painting.

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn
By Patty Neal
Located in Hudson, NY
View from the Train, 2019
24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas
This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus.
Artist statement:
A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
