About the Item

A Sunflower Splash - The bright yellow sunflowers cuddle the dark red chrysanthemum in an embrace as they stand tall in the clear vase, The open faces of the sunny sunflowers are in contrast to the shy, introverted mum ("Mums the word.") whose petals curl inward. Painting wet into wet, brushes loaded with paint, fine artist Carole Garland exuberantly tackles her subject, a vase of flowers. She seems to revel in the flailing motion of the sunflower petals while quietly revealing the petals of the beautiful, gentle chrysanthemum. This painting technique is known as "alla prima," an Italian term meaning to paint in a single sitting or at first attempt. In French it is called "au premier coup" , or direct painting. The 20"x16" oil painting on a wood panel is wired for ease of hanging and handling. The natural wood sides of the panel can serve as a frame. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill.; and studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She took classes and workshops with many fine artists, from Frank Serrano to Jove Wang and Jeff Horn and most recently has been influenced by artist David Gallup who has grounded her in traditional academic painting while encouraging experimentation and exploration. Garland has shown in numerous venues in Southern California including galleries and museums and is in art collections throughout the United States.
