South for the Winter, Saturday Evening Post Cover
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Cover of The Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1957 showing ducks in autumn flying south for the winter The Post described, "When Jack Frost whistles down the breezeways, right-minded birds take off toward the balmy Southland. Some human beings are depressed because they haven't wings to do likewise, yet, all told, it's probably nicer to be a man than, say, a mallard duck. This is a migratory flyway in the lakelands of Alberta, favored by birds of that feather which like to swipe their meals from grainfields and rest their weary bones on soft, or even hard, water. Down the Mississippi Valley this sky traffic will v-wint its way, and the smarter ducks that go clear to the Gulf Coast can take a gander at the New Orleans Mardi Gras...

Pigeon Landing, 2023, miniature realist animal painting
Located in New York, NY
Dina Brodsky is a contemporary realist painter. Known for her miniaturist style, her highly detailed depictions of urban interiors, natural environments, and unsuspecting human and animal subjects are evocative of renaissance portraiture and landscape. Brodsky often paints on small circular surfaces, forcing viewers to move closer to the work. She was drawn to miniature painting from her study of Islamic miniature art and medieval illuminated manuscripts, whose techniques she combined with those of classical painting. She is amongst a group of contemporary realist painters, such as Timothy Barr...

A walk through any major museum will reveal paintings that depict or legitimate only certain kinds of experience. Despite the good intentions of critical theorists questioning the validity of the canon, paintings of the old masters on the walls of museums like the Met, the Louvre, Rijks museum still have a certain cache. They're revered not just for their technique but because they enshrine our collective past experience. Of course, it's a selected past that gets validated. Conspicuously absent to me as a gay man...

Cocktails 8 different paintings. Sold Separately , soft pop art, Realism
Located in Houston, TX
The photo shows the varios Cocktail paintings available. The price is for each individual painting NOT for the set of paintings. Artist's Statement: I am an American Representational artist and my Realism paintings exhibit strong graphic design and Pop art influences. My original Cocktails glass series represents a significant transitional period for me. This is where I played with a sort of softer Pop art style that shows my Realism paintings. My work as a whole is truly about harmony, movement and it wants to heard and seen loud and clear. All of the paintings are 14 x 11 except Cucumber Infused Gin is 12 x 9. Bottom left. Born in 1963, Miller Lives in East Hampton, NY and although primarily a self taught painter he studied at the Fashion Institute, and Painting at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.
