About the Item

This artwork titled "Noyo Sundown, California" c. 2000, is a watercolor on paper by noted California artist Erin Dertner, b.1957. It is signed at the lower left corner by the artist. The artwork size is 14.25 x 20.25 inches, framed size is 25.5 x 31.5 inches. Custom framed in a wooden beige/pink white wash frame, with off-white matting and blue color fillet. It is in excellent condition. About the artist: Painting, studying the subject of light is Erin’s driving force. The cool shadows of the early morning and those that fall long and warm in the evening enliven her creative soul as nothing else. Subject matter is secondary to the sunlight itself, though her locations speak volumes about God’s wondrous world of color, drama and mystery. Travel has played a formidable role in her development as she relishes each opportunity to explore the warm European environs of Greece, France and Italy as well the Hawaiian and British Isles and choice locations within America. She has also studied with many well known artists since 1982 in a myriad of inspirational places. As she reaches further to simplify and suggest detail, her allegiance rests more and more with the impressionist school, and this struggle to be honest and deliberate continues to result in images that reflect peace and a yearning for stillness in a world that is often discordant. Her newest studio in Ventura County was once home to two grand pianos and was a music teacher's space, though she relishes painting en plein air since it allows her to capture the essence of a place by more passionately communicating its light, temperature, color and mood. Most of her current works are in oil, but she is also an experienced watercolorist and has enjoyed dry pastel and acrylics as well. Born in 1957 and a native Californian, Erin has two grown sons who are artistic, musical and adventurous. Her husband is her business partner, acting as agent and picture framer. Her work is seen in a variety of galleries and collected around the world both as originals and reproductions. It is a full plate balancing the schedules of location and studio work, travel, teaching, studying, and working with art publishers as well as joyous family and social gatherings. According to Erin, “There is no better life than to study the world with paintbrush in hand and a heart full of love and gratitude.” 2025 Workshop to Greece 2025 Accepted/Paint Maui for 2026 2025 4 pieces accepted to CA Art Club Santa Paula Museum Show 2024 Workshop to Sweden and Denmark 2024 Accepted/Paint Maui Invitational for 2025 2024 3rd Place Buenaventura Members Show 2023 Workshop on Poros Island, Greece 2023 Workshop for University of the Nations at Albion, CA 2023 Accepted/Lighthouse Art Center Plein Air Festival, Tequesta FL 2022 Accepted/Lighthouse Art Center Plein Air Festival, Tequesta FL/1 day wkshp 2020 Accepted/Lighthouse Art Center Plein Air Festival, Tequesta FL 2019 Juror/Mendocino Open Paint Out 2019 Plein Air Trip to Sweden 2018 People’s Choice Award/Mendocino Open Paint Out 2017 First Place / Lahaina Poster Contest, Maui HI 2016 Best Watercolor/ Plein Air Magazine Salon 2016 Best Oil / 6th Annual Plein Air Salon, August/September 2016 Winner Quick Draw / Plein Air at the Lost Coast, Shelter Cove, CA 2016 First Place / Lahaina Poster Contest, Maui, HI 2016 Winner Quick Draw / Mendocino Open Paint Out, Mendocino, CA 2016 Art Workshop / Skåne, Sweden 2016 Best Overall Watercolor / 5th Annual Plein Air Salon, February/March 2016 Accepted ‘Zeitgeist’ show / Petaluma Art Center 2015 Featured Article / Steppin’ Out Magazine 2015 Featured Article / Mendocino Arts Magazine 2015 Art Workshop / Greek Islands 2015 Art Workshop / Mendocino Art Center, Mendocino, CA 2015 Art Workshop / Petroglyfe Gallery, Mokelunme Hill, CA 2015 Celebrity Artist / Mendocino Open Paint Out 2014 First Place in Oil / Lost Coast Plein Air, Shelter Cove, CA 2014 Rod Lee Memorial Award / W/C Sonoma County, Santa Rosa, CA 2014 Second Place in Oil / Mendocino Open Paint Out, Mendocino, CA 2014 Art Workshop / Paris and South of France 2014 First Place Lahaina Poster Contest/ Maui, HI 2014 Plein Air Magazine / online article 2013 1 Person Show / Highlight Gallery, Mendocino, CA 2012 Joined the Daily Painters Movement 2011 2 Person Show / Smith-Klein Gallery, Boulder, CO 2011 Best of Show / Watercolor Assoc.
