Edward Butler Art
b. 1948
Edward A. Butler (b. 1948, Philadelphia, PA) completed his BFA at the Philadelphia College of Art. A passionate painter from a young age, Butler's subject matter varies from landscapes to animal portraits to still life. The constant in his work is the drama of light and shadow, along with a strong affinity for simplicity and beauty. Butler strives to convey a contemporary point of view while utilizing the techniques of the old masters. In the artist's words: "Painting for me is a process of selection and dismissal. I endeavor to accept nothing that fails to please the eye. Within that framework, I can be quite literal or work from a mix of educated observation and fantasy. When I am successful, the result, the finished painting, should seem inevitable."
His work is represented in numerous private collections.to

By David Konigsberg
Located in Hudson, NY
56 x 58 x 2 inches

A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work.

Tricks - Original Oil Painting, Anthropomorphic Scene with Cat and Seagull
By Wendy Vaughan
Located in Chicago, IL
In this fantastical painting animals reign supreme. An enrobed cat observes/directs as a seagull deftly flies through a suspended hoop. Wendy Vaughan seems to infuse her artwork with mystical powers. Backgrounds are layered with symbols and clothing vibrates with magical floating shapes. Her choice of colors are punched up to a level of saturation as to make her work seem otherworldly. Prominent colors in this painting are bright blues in the water, soft oranges in the cat's fur, and purple, gold and pink in the cat's garment. This artwork is framed in dark wood with painted gold inset.
