8 Eclectic Additions

I’ve recently added 8 new pieces to the Galleria Eclectica

A View from the Fairway – Some of my favorite landscapes are found in and around golf courses. The peaceful and remote atmospheres cultivated for the enjoyment of the golfer make excellent subjects and add am elegant touch to any room.

Sunset Rocks – The violent and dark beauty of the sea set against the brilliant colors set in the sky by a setting sun make for an unparalleled vista. The lonely and remote setting highlights the identity of the individual and pits him against a nameless struggle, which, in its beauty, is granted a level of romantic grandeur that communicates the not only rewards that come from the journey, but the transcendental value of the journey itself.

Fantasy Citrus – This is one of my more abstract pieces. Citrus is a favored subject of mine. In this piece, the distinctiveness of an individual orange tree sits in the foreground, while the sky, ground, and other background features blend together giving the basic form and rough detail of the single tree an more dominant presence without sacrificing context.

Water Lilies – This piece is a kind of study honoring the work of Claude Monet.

Barton House – Known as “Barton Mansion” to ghost hunters and “Barton Villa” to many historians, most refer to it simply as “Barton House”. Built by Ben Barton in the late 1800’s, the Barton House is an historic landmark of Redlands, California.

Bell Tower – The Spanish influence is replete in Southern California where this mission-style bell tower stands amidst a landscape of palm and orange trees.

Windmill at Zaandam – Another study honoring the work of Claude Monet.

Another Clear Day – The wind sweeps the orange trees, heavy with fruit, on a day that is clear and inviting. The long rows of trees dappled with sun-colored treats are a staple of Southern California.
