14th Street (Photo-Realist Oil Painting of Classic NYC Brick Building)
By Richard Britell
Located in Hudson, NY
Photo-realist oil painting of a classic brick building exterior in New York City 28 x 50 inches, oil on canvas painting Wire backing for easy hanging Unframed with white painted sides This contemporary, realistic oil painting of a New York City brick building exterior was painted by Richard Britell in 2019. Employing his mastery of the troupe l'oeil technique, Britell paints the smooth red colored stone building in extreme detail assuming a three-dimensional quality with close attention paid to shadow and perspective. This building is reminiscent of neo-classical architecture, popularized in the mid-late 1800's and the striking red exterior contrasts against the white stone window trim, further accentuating the painting's troupe l'oeil qualities. The painting on canvas is complete with wire on reverse for seamless hanging.

Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes - original realism painting - contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, Rebecca Ritchie showcases her exceptional skill in still life realism. The painting centers around a gleaming copper vase, which reflects the light in subtle, warm tones that enhance the rich textures of its surroundings. The vase is adorned with delicate white roses, whose soft petals contrast beautifully with the bold, crimson foliage beside them. The harmonious arrangement of the flowers invites the viewer to appreciate the juxtaposition between the gentle, organic forms and the solid, reflective nature of the vase. Ritchie’s attention to detail is remarkable, particularly in her depiction of the red grapes scattered at the base of the vase. Each grape is meticulously rendered with a realistic sheen, bringing a lifelike quality to the composition. The dark background further enhances the vibrancy of the objects, creating an intimate atmosphere where light and shadow play delicately over the scene. The artist’s skillful manipulation of light and contrast brings a timeless elegance to the work. This masterful still life, Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. Art collectors now have the opportunity to bring this beautiful and evocative piece into their collection, a celebration of light, texture, and everyday beauty. Artist Biography: Rebecca is a still life artist based in Tunbridge Wells, whose practice approaches subject matter with a classical technical style.
