Donna McGinnis Abstract Paintings

American, b. 1963

Donna McGinnis is known for her imagined land and skyscapes that bridge realism with dreamscape or Magic Realism. Soft rolling golden hills and billowing white clouds in blue or stormy skies are recurring themes in her work. McGinnis is a mid-career American artist, whose oil on canvas paintings shine with the light and warmth of nature. She is associated with The American Impressionists and Magic Realism. Her work is included in some of the nation's most prestigious museums, public institutions and private collections, and is collected worldwide. Her works are contemporary and modern in composition. Both styles of painting are developed in the same way. Neither the abstracts nor landscapes start with preconceived ideas. With the swirling of brushwork and layering of glazes, McGinnis creates her signature style of softness and painting that glows from within. The Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco includes three of her drawings in its permanent collection and her work also appears in other numerous private and public collections. McGinnis has shown her work at the Oakland Museum of California, Arkansas Arts Center, Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento and several other public spaces and galleries. McGinnis paints in the landscape and abstract genre.

A serene moorland scene with rich hues, misty hills, and a reflective waterway
Located in Preston, GB
A serene moorland scene with rich hues, misty hills, and a reflective waterway by 20th Century British Artist. Impasto, abstract landscape. Art measures 32 x 12 inches Frame measures 39 x 19 inches This landscape painting depicts a serene, atmospheric scene of a moorland with a reflective body of water winding through vibrant fields. The composition features a soft, diffused light illuminating the middle ground, where golden and green hues contrast with the rich purples and deep earthy tones of the surrounding vegetation. The distant mountains are enveloped in misty blues and grays, adding depth and a sense of vastness to the piece. The artist’s expressive, textured brushstrokes create movement, enhancing the raw beauty of the natural setting. Framed in a neutral, elegant frame, the painting exudes tranquility and captures the essence of the rugged landscape. Born in Birmingham in 1948, Rex Preston...

I Know Everything - Birds Eye View of Chicago Looking East, Oil & Acrylic
By Albert Vidal Moreno
Located in Chicago, IL
While visiting Chicago in the summer of 2019, Vidal was afforded a stunning view of the city from various vantage points. This bird's eye view is looking east into the city with a peak of Lake Michigan in the background and captures a portion of Chicago's iconic skyline. The loose, abstract brush strokes and warm color palette come together in this remarkable urban landscape painting. The bottom of the painting is marked with Vidal's signature - a series of numbers. The artist has carried the painting over the edges, thus allowing it to remain unframed. Alternate framing options can be discussed with the gallery.
