About the Item
A large-scale oil painting, vertically oriented. A figurative painting, of a humble beach cottage, or shack, as the artist calls it. The composition is made up of geometric shapes in saturated colors, angular lines, and cast shadows. A padlock on the front door suggests the summer season has ended, and this humble abode is boarded up for winter. Yet the mood of this composition is not somber; instead it's a high-contrast geometric puzzle of light and color.
6 feet tall x 5 feet wide.
Unframed, but with black painted edges, this piece can hang unframed, or be framed by the collector as they wish.
Doug Reina is a two time Pollock-Krasner grant recipient whose studio is in Setauket, New York.
Reina is a full-time artist who creates paintings both on location, as well as in his studio of the unique landscapes and people and structures that are part of his life.
Reina is also a cartoonist, whose work has appeared in the New Yorker magazine as well as with King Features Syndicate. He has recently published a book called
“Doug Reina, Under the Covers” which is available on Amazon and features cartoons and sketches pulled from the past 25 years of his sketchbooks.
For the past several years, he has held weekly painting lessons for adults in his studio.
In addition to painting, Reina enjoys collaborating with fellow artists. In 2021 he created a recurring zoom "Art-Hang" meeting with several regional artists to discuss art related topics. He also co-created and produced "Face to Face - Artists Painting Artists" an exhibition that was presented by the Long Island Museum in 2019. It featured approximately 60 works by more than 30 contemporary artists who sat for studio portraits of one another.

ARTIST STATEMENT
What I'm trying to do is to create a painting that operates on two levels.
On one level, the painting must have a subject that I find original and compelling, one that invokes a feeling in me that I am excited to share with the viewer.
On the other level, the painting must have a unique arrangement of forms, values and colors, in order for the work to have the appearance of an abstract painting.
One of the methods I use to achieve this is to begin the work on a blackened canvas. That gives me the ability to leave sections of black areas to be part of the composition. It's my opinion that these black sections of the painting are much more interesting than if I had painted in whatever was supposed to be there. The black creates a mysterious, dreamlike mood, which I welcome.
In addition, by painting color over the black canvas, the color is often influenced by the black color coming through the paint. This is particularly useful if I'm trying to portray something that is old and weathered. If I scrape through the paint with the back of my brush, I can create a line. One last thought about painting over black; color really pops off of a black surface.

House and Barn, Oil Painting
By Brian McCarty
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Brian McCarty depicts a quiet rural home behind a red barn. Surrounded by a field of grass and autumnal trees, a car sits on the winding dirt path. "Everyday life is caught in a moment," says Brian. "Arriving home, or getting ready to leave home. A lazy afternoon." Just the type of subject Brian loves to paint.
About the Artist
Artist Brian McCarty paints idyllic landscapes and bucolic architecture. “Growing up in rural New Jersey, I’ve always found old houses, barns, and the countryside interesting subjects,†says Brian. Influenced by his mom who was a self-taught artist and art teacher, she encouraged Brian to pursue anything artistic. After graduating from Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art and earning his BA in Art from Thomas Edison State College, he worked professionally as a graphic designer in New York for the largest publishing houses in the country. A career that spanned thirty-six years. Brian has done comedy and sketch writing with the Groundling Theater, and worked in a few major feature films as an actor. To begin his process, Brian takes photos of his references with an iPad, crops the images to his liking, and paints directly on his canvas with a quick oil wash. Recently returning to painting full time, he converted a room in his house into a working studio. “I get lots of natural light, and listen to music and podcasts while I paint.â€
