About the Item
"Red", is a 24x18 original oil painting on canvas by artist Olaf Schneider. Depicted in the painting is the reflection of a pedestrian and red umbrella, with their silhouette cast across a rain puddle. Tall structures loom above and reflect in the puddle below. A pedestrian mid-stride walking through the blue dreary weather.
About the artist:
Olaf Schneider (b. 1964) is a husband, father of two, and grandfather of six. He studied at the Ontario College of Art and Sheridan College. In 1986, while painting large scale billboards for Mediacom (currently CBS Outdoor) he acquired a strong practical foundation that would become integral to his work today.
He is greatly inspired by mentor Ron Grieg and Norman Rockwell.
For Olaf, each piece represents an intense exploration and refinement of his personal pictorial sensitivities, especially as they relate to beauty, form, light, and shade. Composition, color, and craftsmanship are all elements that become the building blocks of his work. Olaf is a prolific painter who is inspired by the power and diversity of the northern landscape, and anything that needs a "second look". An explorer by nature, he travels across North America and Europe to gain inspiration.
“Each dab I make is stimulated by the details that I observe. I hope to see what others miss and then make it compelling. I push and alter the colors to suit my ravenous needs and I love to improvise on the spot.”
Olaf has a passion for a variety of subjects. Through his art, he expresses his love for life and his affinity for vibrant colour.
“I like to use expressive and thick impasto brushstrokes or soft blended strokes to render a sense of movement and texture giving the painting a life of its own. My interpretation of colour also sets the dynamic mood. The tones often range from the darkest to the lightest in an effort to achieve maximum drama. This creative combination is spontaneous and intuitive.”
To keep his mind clear and focused he limits his exposure to all the media 'noise' we generally are pummeled with daily. He does not watch TV and restricts his time on the computer. He starts his day with God in prayer and meditation. Painting 6 to10 hours a day is common practice. Equally important to Olaf is continued growth and learning.

Rainy - Mitzy Renooy, 21st Century Contemporary Oil Painting of a Woman in Rain
By Mitzy Renooy
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
The artist Mitzy Renooy in this painting shows skating people in a landscape with ice and small traces of snow, trees, heather and leaves. The focus is on the skating children in this painting, they really seem to move. This painting makes an impression due to the simplicity of the brushstrokes and the narrative that is told by artist Mitzy Renooy. The depth she creates with the use of color and composition is beautiful arranged. Mitzy Renooy finds her inspiration, people in their environment, movement and the ryhthm of life, Cuba, traveling. The loose painting style of Renooy developed during the last two years of her study at Academy of Classical Arts in Groningen under the guidance of her mentor Sam Drukker. From a rigidly working potrait painter Mitzy has become an artist with whom a fluid brush stroke, rhythm and dynamism tell a story.
She graduated in Juni 2017, in a very short while she became very populair. Her paintings are already sold in Finland, Belgium, France, Great Britain and of course in Holland. Her series of girls and boys playing with or in water, her series of Cuba and Colombia and now her new serie of winters in Holland...
