Spring Morning - Serene Landscape, Expansive Blue Sky with Calm Lake, Tondo
By Ahzad Bogosian
Located in Chicago, IL
"Spring Morning" is a minimalist landscape painting depicting subtle shifts of color in a cloud covered sky. The clouds take on hues of blue and grey with a softness that only comes with the stillness of the scene. The calm water reflects the beautiful sky. The overall peacefulness of the scene is enhanced by the soft palette of colors. This tondo is framed in a simple wooden white frame measuring 13.5inches in diameter.

Lost in Dinard, Surreal Architectural Landscape with Two Figures by Ben Duke

Located in Chicago, IL
This small surreal landscape shows a line of row houses that are exaggerated and seemingly floating off the panel on which they are painted along with what seem to be seeds from the over sized plant. The two figures depicted are central to the composition - one on the phone and one with his back toward the viewer but we wonder what they are doing. Possibly the title, "Lost in Dinard" give us that clue. Ben Duke...

La Scomparsa - Ancient Architectural Arched Doorways Leading to Lush Landscape
By Carol Pylant
Located in Chicago, IL
Meticulously rendered stone archways lead to a marsh complete with water birds in Carol Pylant's stunning architectural painting entitled "La Scomparsa". The pristine space suggest inner solitude and peace. This calm continues through the archway and into the misty landscape beyond the walls tricking the viewer into questioning what exactly they are observing. The artist often combines imagery from her travels to Italy, Spain and throughout Europe with memories of her childhood home in North Carolina. The artwork is framed in a silver wooden frame measuring 32 x 32 inches. Carol S.
