Cuore Della Casa, Original Painting

2025

Artist Comments
An abandoned cottage with chipped stucco and worn paint reveals the passage of time. Despite the worn, weathered architecture, life persists as vibrant flowers bloom defiantly along the crumbling stone walkway. The petals create a stark contrast to the decay. This painting captures the enduring beauty of nature reclaiming what was once the "heart of a home."

About the Artist
Artist Art Clark paints quiet rural scenes that reimagine the past with a sense of nostalgia and mystery. “When I see a scene that intrigues me, my imagination transforms it into what I wish it could be—a forgotten relic in the woods, a mountaintop, or a lone structure lost in the prairie,” says Art. He began painting in 2017 after years as a landscape photographer, initially inspired by an episode of Paint This With Jerry Yarnell on PBS. Largely self-taught, he honed his craft through close observation of admired artists, eventually developing a style that balances storytelling with expressive brushwork. His studio is a simple yet creative space—just an easel, a supply cart, and perfect lighting. It doubles as his music room, where his electric guitar makes sure the neighbors know he’s home. Outside of painting, Art is a certified health coach, a woodworker, and a photographer with a deep love for Mexican food.
