Contemporary American ceramic artist Richard Hirsch's encaustic Painting of Nothing #50 is made of ceramic raw materials, dry pigment and wax. This piece is part of his ongoing Painting of Nothing Series. Hirsch applies the waxy mix with a brush onto redwood plywood backed structures with two-inch wood strips all around and used various torches to layer, flux, bubble and blend. "Waxy and very tactile, they are probably the work Mark Rothko would have done had he spent most of his life in clay. Hirsch’s paintings have the nuance, subtle texture, and color shifts that become evident in blown-up photographs of his ceramic objects as well as a similar presence." Signed and dated en verso by the artist. This painting ship directly from the artist’s studio in Rochester, NY.

One of my favorite views. Atmosphere transitions from dapled light in the foreground to the haze of distant hills.

Over looking abundant fields of wildflowers an old Quaker home stands quietly on a knoll simple but elegant.

A large oil-on-canvas painting, representing an exotic dreamy palm tree on a colourful pastel backdrop. Entitled ‘Palm’s Parade’, and dated 1980, the painting borders a palm tree with a snapshot of three palm trees on the top right. This painting is the epitome of 1980s American interiors, with its bold pastel shades and abstract shapes. A true 1980s Florida/Palm Beach and Miami artwork...
