Tara Zalewsky-Nease
October Still Life, Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Tara Zalewsky-Nease depicts a still life of golden-hued pumpkins, apples, and pinecones. A copper pitcher stands on the corner of the table, reflecting the other elements on its polished surface. Its thick, expressive brushstrokes and jewel-like tones pay homage to Old Master paintings. She adds vivid and bright colors to depict the festive autumnal display.


About the Artist
Tara Zalewsky-Nease draws on the soul of the desert to create her impressionist landscape paintings. While earning her Masters in Fine Art Painting at the University of New Mexico, she experienced the magical energy of the expansive panoramas and the timeless geography of the southwest. She hiked, journaled and captured reference photography during her time there, as well as during her trips to the Pacific Northwest, France and Japan. Two common motifs in her works are hummingbirds, which are totems of good luck, and foxes, which allude to her young son. Tara has had solo exhibitions in Sante Fe, Albuquerque and Taos. She recently built a custom backyard art studio at her home in Pittsburgh, where she paints full time. When she is not creating art, she teaches art classes at several universities and also enjoys playing the piano and spending time with her pets and family.

  • The Green Arrow, Oil Painting
    By Jose H. Alvarenga
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    In classical vintage style, artist Jose H. Alvarenga imposes his spin on still-life pieces with an action figure on top of lettered toy blocks. "I bought the whole collection of the DC comic characters and decided to paint this figurine of the Green Arrow," narrates Jose. He paints variations of green through neutralizing, brightening, and blending. Jose colors a block red for a complete contrast opposite to green.


    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.
