Through this artwork the artist achieves to decontextualize the subject and give it an entirely new meaning. By comparing the subject to the likeness of nature itself, the warm tones and smooth textures resemble that of a dune. Throughout this piece, the artist expands on a completely new take on the nude painting. The subtleties, intricacies and attention to detail really transform this piece into an ode to the human figure.

The Greek myth of Medea, the enchantress who helped Jason, leader of the Argonauts, obtain the magical Golden Fleece, is a classic story of betrayal and vengeance. Like many Greek myths, this one too has a tragic ending. She was of divine descent and had the gift of prophecy and married Jason. Theirs's was a passionate beginning but when Jason found another, Medea made the ultimate sacrifice by killing the children the two shared. Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece is one of the oldest myths of a hero's quest. Gibbons portrays the hero as a bare-chested god with a halo of roses and gold. The Heroine is portrayed with a golden crown and an aura of golden rays surrounding her. His soft features and partially opened lips and her sultry gaze add to the sensuousness of their passionate love affair. The paintings are framed in a simple walnut wooden frames measuring 21.5 x 17.5 inches each. Richard Gibbons Jason and Medea...

Symbolism abounds in this remarkable painting by artist Rick Beerhorst. Here, the artist has given us not only the hummingbird covering the young girl's face while supposedly reading, but a multitude of objects at the table set out in front of her. The hummingbird, which can serve as a reminder to live in the moment and appreciate spiritual freedom, has been coupled with other objects such as a pear, a Madonna and Child portrait and an empty wine bottle...

Taking a cue from celebrity publicity headshots, artist Rick Pas presents us with "The Comic Wood Duck". The duck takes on human characteristics, as if laughing at the camera, its colorful plumage set off by the pink backdrop. This piece is framed in a simple black frame measuring 15 x 15 inches. Rick Pas The Comic Wood Duck acrylic on panel 12h x 12w in 30.48h x 30.48w cm RPA018 ARTIST'S STATEMENT Creating is an addiction. With all the highs and lows you would expect. I am interested in the surface textures and creating paintings that portray them in realistic detail. Hopefully a viewer will feel they can run a hand over the feathers and moss, or grasp an object in the painting. This detail is usually composed in an abstract design. The design can occur naturally or be arranged by me.

Rick Pas Grilling Guests acrylic on panel 24h x 24w in 60.96h x 60.96w cm RPA004 ARTIST'S STATEMENT Creating is an addiction. With all the highs and lows you would expect. I am interested in the surface textures and creating paintings that portray them in realistic detail. Hopefully a viewer will feel they can run a hand over the feathers and moss, or grasp an object in the painting. This detail is usually composed in an abstract design. The design can occur naturally or be arranged by me. The subjects of my paintings are usually based on the patterns and textures of nature and human interaction with nature. I have found subjects to paint in remote wilderness areas of the world, local parking lots, and my own backyard.
