Serenity by Catherine Arrington Both of Richmond, Virginia.

25 1/2" by 31 1/2" original painting on canvas.

"Most of my paintings are abstract, and my inspirations are the seasons and the colors they bring. In spring and summer, I tend to do water paintings or fields of sunshine, using positive shapes and the negative space to create the composition... In both styles - abstract and realism - color and feel motivate the composition."

Hidden in Plain Sight by David A. Moir, Jr.

18" x 24" acrylic paint on cradled birchboard.

As a stay-at-home father of two highly energetic boys, David uses art as his medium to relax and unwind. His work consists of multi-colored layers applied in different techniques that most of the time are hidden from view but reveal themselves ever so slightly throughout the canvas.
