Ocean Beach Surfers
Located in Burlingame, CA
Beautiful beach scene featuring surfers on California's Ocean Beach, includes its familiar Seal Rocks, a man and his dog and other surfers wading out to sea. The scene celebrates the atmospheric light that Dixon is known for, as well as white clouds across the blue sky with its purple haze and serene light reflecting upon the shoreline. The oil on canvas painting was created in 2019 by American Realist Willard Dixon. The canvas is 24 x 36 inches and it is framed in a classic artist fabricated hardwood floater frame 25 x 37 inches overall. Ready to hang and enjoy. Signed in paint with artist initials front. One of our finest American contemporary realist painters, Willard Dixon has painted Northern California and western landscapes for over 35 years. His work captures the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The same sensitivity can be found in Dixon’s urban street scenes that offer viewers a resting place to contemplate our rapidly changing world, and his portraiture, which largely focuses on his artist friends and illustrious colleagues. Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, as well as the Califorrnia Museum of Oakland, CA.

Sunlight in Autumn
Located in Wenham, MA
This piece is an original oil painting on panel by American artist Ginny GC Williams. It was painted en plein air during a painting expedition to Vermont. Catching the waning light of an autumn day, the artist has captured the brilliant yellow of birch trees. The piece is beautifully framed in a handmade curly maple floater frame with contrasting spline joints at the corner. a beautiful presentation. GC Williams has a degree in art history which gave her an understanding of, and appreciation for, not only the art of the past, but the historical events and ideologies that fostered various aesthetics, movements, and styles. She has studied at several classical ateliers, including three years at Boston's Academy of Realist Art. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the US and is included in public and private collections. She maintains a studio on the north shore of Massachusetts. "My work is about the little moments of beauty that comprise our existence: the greening of the landscape in early spring, the glint of light on an object; growing things and made objects. I enjoy creating interesting interactions, and making up narratives. I love the way light animates objects...

Point Lobos Succulents, Original Painting
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Catherine McCargar presents an intriguing close-up of succulents tenaciously adorning a dramatic cliff. The view overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Point Lobos Natural Reserve. "This park near Carmel, California, is among my most inspirational places to visit," shares Catherine. She joyfully gets lost in painting, adding detail after detail. The fluid colors allow the movement of pigments and the precision of brushwork.
