Two Pears with Grapes and Shallot
Located in Fairfield, CT
My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that “anything can be art”, and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence.
Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level.
For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Abraham van Beijeren...

"Sand Wash Crossing" Oil painting
Located in Denver, CO
Lani Vlaanderen's (US based) "Sand Wash Crossing" is an oil painting that depicts a herd of multi-colored wild horses and a pony crossing a river.
Bio/artist statement:
Living in the mountains near Rocky Mountain National Park Lani is never lacking something inspiring to paint, be it a grand sunrise on Long's Peak or a small sparrow perched on a pine branch. All fill her with the desire to put paint to canvas. Her goal is not to replicate what she sees, but to express her emotional response from the source of inspiration visually in paint and convey it to the world. She wants to communicate the awe she feels when in the natural world and the joy she experiences from seeing even the seemingly most insignificant moment in time that will never come again. She strives to convey her belief that all things, all beings, all life and non-life, share equal significance and are essential to the whole.
"I began my art quest by taking a few classes at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, then enrolled in Kim English's class at the Art Student's Leaque of Denver. After four years with Kim and functioning as his class monitor, I had the opportunity to participate in a painting group with Richard Schmid in Loveland Colorado. I painted there with him for six years. I have taken workshops from such masters as David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw...

Til Paradise II
Located in Burlingame, CA
Til Paradise II is a stunning and sublime oil on canvas painting featuring falling or floating flowers from established California artist Stephanie Peek, who is celebrated for her contemporary romantic, poetic, and mysterious oil paintings, where light and drama often mingle to play central roles. The painting speaks metaphorically of the fragile beauty and ephemeral nature of the world. Peek's lush works are focused on exotic and wildflowers that reveal their beauty while suspended in silence. The main colors are periwinkle blue, grey, rose, and green.
'Til Paradise II' takes its inspiration from French Antoine Watteau. whose brief career at the turn of the 18th century, spurred the revival of interest in color and movement. Suffused with a theatrical air. The painting is created with the highest quality oil pigments on canvas. 72 x 72 inches...
