Vintage Figurative Abstract of Lady on Red
Located in Soquel, CA
Vintage Latin American School Figurative Abstract of a Lady in a Red Landscape.
Intriguing and moody piece by California-based Latin American artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece features a dark red abstracted background. On the left side of the piece, the outline of a building is visible providing the sense of a cityscape. Diagonal lines cross at the base of the woman's body and then fade backward into space. The red tones of the background are accentuated by large swaths of blue-toned blacks. The woman fades into this background, her pale face being the eye-catching center of the painting. Behind her, another figure rendered in simple shapes is just visible.
Signed "de silva 86" in bottom left corner
Acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 20"H x 16"W
From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles.

He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg...

"Sunrise Beyond the River" by Kristy Chettle - Earth Tone Abstract Oil on Wood
By Kristy Chettle
Located in Carmel, CA
Kristy Chettle (American, born 1968)
"Sunrise Beyond the River" 2024
Oil Paint, Wood
The artist signed the back of the painting.
This striking 22" x 38" abstract oil painting by Kristy Chettle captures the raw energy of nature through vibrant, expressive color. Painted directly onto reclaimed wood, the artwork showcases her unique approach to using natural materials, allowing the texture of the wood grain to become an integral part of the piece. The rich, fiery hues of orange, red, and yellow swirl across the surface, evoking a sense of dynamic movement and shifting light. The cooler tones of blues and blacks provide contrast, creating depth and intrigue. Chettle’s distinctive technique, where she applies the paint using only her hands, adds an organic, tactile quality to the work, making it both visceral and immersive. This piece beautifully represents her ability to blend color, form, and texture into an emotional and evocative abstract composition.
About the Artist:
As a California native (b. 1968, Los Angeles, CA), Kristy Chettle’s paintings explore reflective and thought-provoking themes of nature, transformation, and self-empowerment.
Using only her hands and an occasional pallet knife, she paints in multiple layers, sometimes scraping off the paint with her fingers only to reapply a new color later, resulting in a deep texture and raw motion. Occasionally she scrawls her thoughts and emotions into the canvas or uses recycled paper or old screens...

"Earth and Fire" Mixed Media abstract with textural greens, aqua and orange
By Nancy Eckels
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
"Earth and Fire" is a beautiful abstract painting by Nancy Eckels. It exhibits the bold colors and textures that her work is known for. Using sculptural texture with beautiful greens, aqua, and orange contrasted with flowing textures of orange and yellow highlights, this painting creates both a peaceful and dynamic mood.
Nancy became a full time artist only after ending another creative career. She moved to California to attend college, and happily worked in television for many years. She was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to full time painting. Given her family background, it seemed like the most natural transition she could make.
Nancy was born in Kingston, New York, but moved to Utah at age 7 when her father was transferred for his work. With her family, she spent her summers exploring many of the national parks, and natural wonders of the west where her father loved to fish and photograph. He instilled in her a love and appreciation for the beauty and colors of nature, while her mother taught her many of the lessons of art.
Nancy gained quite an art education through "osmosis" while being around talented family members. She has learned much from working with several experimental abstract painters, including Katherine Chang Liu, Carole Barnes...
