Flyin' High
Flyin' High
Jackie Stein
$300.00


Artist statement: This is an oil painting of a view along the Eastkill River in New York. The seagulls were added later to provide some action in the painting. As an admirer of the Hudson River artists I looked for places that had some atmosphere in the background.
Specific medium: oil on canvas
Lower Cascade
Lower Cascade
Amy Story
$1,200.00


Artist statement: Visiting Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina, we hiked down hundreds of steps to see this oasis called Lower Cascade Falls. What a vision to see the sun flickering like gold flecks in the shallow pool of water. It was such a peaceful spot and well worth the climb back up to capture this view and paint it in oil.
Specific medium: oil on canvas
Tea and Tiffany

Artist statement: Art is a 3-way communication between the artist, his work and the viewer.

He will then use whatever technical skills he has at his disposal to emphasize his vision of the scene. In my photography I prefer to not change the integrity of the scene through the addition or removal of parts of the photo, but rather through emphasizing or lessening contrast, saturation and s

Rob Thompson
$250.00

Selected for Exhibition
