Scottish Beach Dunes by John Bathgate, 1980's
Located in Kenilworth, IL
Oil on academy board view of Scottish seaside dunes and the water beyond.
Born in Scotland in 1949, John Bathgate grew up in the rolling Scottish Border country. His art education followed an apprenticeship style training with the artist and teacher Robert Fraser. By 1979 he had joined the “Lothian Group” of artists and had begun to exhibit in and around Edinburgh, along with establishing his first studio. He now lives in the north west of Skye, which looks out on Loch Bracadale, with views south to Rum and Canna, the Cuillins and west to MacLeods Tables. The quality of light here and the constantly changing weather provide all the inspiration for many of the paintings produced.
Scotland, circa 1980.

Contemporary Still Life with Alexander The Great Bust and Orange Apple iBook
By Andrew S. Conklin
Located in Chicago, IL
Still Life painting, with origins dating back to the 16th century, often depicts simple everyday objects. Conklin sets his composition with both antiquities and modern elements to bring the Still Life genre into the contemporary. Yet when a closer look is taken, his modern elements are already obsolete by today's standards. The ancient bust of Alexander is placed next to an iBook begging to ask the question - what will stand the test of time?? The piece is framed in a simple walnut frame measuring 26 x 26 inches.
