Three varieties of pears sit neatly aligned in a row. The soft light unveils their plump forms through delicate shadows. The balance between color, light, and shadow enhances the visual appeal of the composition.
About the Artist
Pat Doherty follows in the tradition of Bay Area artists who paint what they love. Her culinary series is a reflection of her surroundings; Pat is a third generation San Franciscan now living in Marin. The Bay Area is the perfect place to find the petit fours and decadent pastries featured in her work "Sweet Choices." Similar in subject matter to Wayne Theibaud's desserts, Pat’s unique style starts with a rich color palette and an angled picture plane to achieve depth. The subjects are often simple, but Pat takes the time to understand them and develop a mastery of light and shadow. The art has a certain humor and light-heartedness as well, especially with her series of dogs and bite-sized confections. Pat's style is inspired by her previous work in the graphic design industry, when she was the art director of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, art director of San Francisco magazine, and senior art director at a private design firm. Pat's work has been featured in American Art Collector magazine, several solo shows, including the Caffe Museo in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as many group shows, including frequent showings at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.

- The Milkmaid, Oil PaintingBy Jose H. AlvarengaLocated in San Francisco, CA
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
