Art of the Day: "Tram Stop, 2014" by Mark Harrison

A city scene, is it day or night, is it in the past or the present? I wanted a dreamlike quality to this painting that somebody said reminded them of the film "The Third Man". This was an interesting observation as the director used huge World War Two searchlights to light the sets so that it too has a dreamlike quality due to the night/day lighting. It is based on a red/green complementary colour axis.

I'm impressed by the fresh mountain air and bright colours of the Carpathian Mountains! A bright sunny morning in June in a mountain village. Alexander Kriushin is works in the traditions of the European school of fine arts, combined with the southern temperament of execution. The artist travels a lot and works en plein air, but often a plain etude is just an excuse for further work, and then the work begins in the studio.

"Celeste in Flowers, 2018" by Juliette Belmonte

Based loosely on a series of Victorian photographs, Juliette's mixed media paintings combine timeless charm with the occasional cheeky nod to hipster chic. Celeste was made with oils, found objects, vintage papers, fabric, inks, and love. Comes signed and ready to hang on a 16"x16"canvas.
