The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...

Retains the original DuBose Gallery label on the reverse. Currently hung in a complementary frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 48 in. x W 54 in. Artist Biography: Born in New York City in 1923, Herb Mears was interested in art from a young age. He studied under Fernand Leger in Paris and went on to paint and study in various studios in France and Italy before his arrival in Houston in 1951. With colleague David Adickes, whom he had met in Paris, Mears decided to open an art school. Their Studio of Contemporary Arts finally settled in an old building on Main Street with Mears and Adickes hoping to give classes to potential students. However money was tight and Mears found himself as a draftsman for Houston Lighting and Power Company, a job he excelled at and enjoyed. Later, Mears was involved in the Contemporary Arts Association, frequently making trips to ensure security in addition to enjoying the art scene the Association provided. From the CAA to the Art League of Houston and the Museum of Fine Arts, Mears began to gain recognition. An abstract, or non-objective piece as he called it, won a prize at a competition held by the Museum of Fine Arts, earning him a teaching position at the Museum School. Mears also taught at the Contemporary Arts Museum, University of Houston...

Oil on canvas 50x60 cm

Dimensions with frame: 44,3 x 51 x 4 cm. Signed "C. B. Hjortdahl" The artist’s signature, “C.B. Hjortdahl,” is subtly incorporated into the painted branch. A further partially legible inscription beside the signature may correspond to a date.. This finely detailed 19th-century painting depicts two birds perched among the leafy branches of a rowan tree, accompanied by a vivid cluster of red berries. Set against an atmospheric sky shifting from pale blue to softly illuminated clouds and deeper tones, the birds are rendered with remarkable attention to their plumage, posture and individual character. The composition combines the precision of natural history illustration with the charm of traditional decorative painting. Delicately observed leaves, berries and feathers create a rich interplay of color and texture, while the dramatic sky lends depth and atmosphere to the scene. The warm russet tones of the birds are beautifully complemented by the intense red berries and varied greens of the foliage. Both decorative and naturalistic, this elegant composition reflects the 19th-century fascination with ornithology and the close observation of the natural world. A particularly appealing example of European animal and bird painting.
