About the Item

Very well executed oil on canvas painting by the Scottish born artist James Elliot. In good condition, signed lower left and housed in it's original gilt period frame which is also in very fine condition. Titled verso; circa 1875 unlined original unrestored canvas. Overall framed 17 by 23 inches. ARTIST The artist, identified by his signature, is James Elliot. His distinctive signature has the initials of his name conjoined, as can be seen in this picture in the bottom right hand corner. This is comparable with that on several of his paintings in national collections. According to The Dictionary of British Art, Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood, his name was wrongly listed as Elliott with two t’s in Graves's,The Royal Academy of Arts: a complete dictionary of contributors and their work from its foundation in 1769 to 1904. (There is a Devon painter, named James Elliott, born 1833, who painted scenes of Cornwall and Devon.) Elliot was a landscape painter, primarily of Welsh landscapes, who exhibited at the Royal Academy‘s annual exhibitions between 1884 and 1897 and also at the Suffolk Street Gallery in London. He lived at various addresses in Manchester and on the 1881 census there is a James Elliot, described as a landscape artist, lodging in Betws-y-Coed. In 1850 his birthplace was given as Scotland. The Snowdonia village was a thriving centre for artists during the 1800s and became known as the first artists’ colony in Britain. The Liverpool Mercury, 23 June 1886, reported that two of his paintings, shown at the Southport Spring Exhibition in the Atkinson Art Gallery, were priced at £15 each. These were On the Liddal and On the Llugwy. An article entitled Welsh Exhibitors at the Royal Academy, which appeared in The Western Mail (Cardiff) on 3 May 1890, stated that 'Mr. James Elliott (sic), Miner’s Bridge House, Betws-y-Coed, sends a landscape, A Flood on the Glaslyn, a work of considerable merit'. Other works include: On the Gwyedd (1888) Kirklees Museum and Art Gallery Birch Wood in the Lledr Valley Williamson Art Gallery and Museum On Snowdon (1886) National Gallery of Wales In the Valley of the Ogwen (1885) Those Heavenly Hills All Veiled in Mist (1895) Rain Clearing Off (1897) A Quiet Spot for Contemplation The Last Rays of Sunlight (1889) Mountainous Landscape Fylde Council

Depicts the terminal view from LAX. Sparsely populated though replete with objects and evidence of the built environment, Gay Summer Rick creates iconic urban and coastal land and cityscape paintings that evoke emotion and a sense of place. She creates scenes that are at once dreamlike and familiar. You may have been there; you are there. Revealing an unexpected beauty in commonplace elements within the urban landscape, Gay Summer’s style is a melding of impressionism and color-field painting describing the quiet vibration of life where cities meet the sea. Applying oil paint to canvas using only palette knives, Gay Summer Rick creates images through a series of interacting, melded layers. The paint is treated architectonically; it is engineered, built into layers, carved, scraped, accumulated, and almost sculpted, but never removed, never discarded. In part to avoid material waste and the use of toxic solvents for reasons of environmentalism, she finds this almost mnemonic accrual of paint a reflection of her experiences in the places she depicts. Growing up in New York surrounded by artists, Gay Summer Rick began her arts education early in life. She went on to formally study art and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New York at the School of Art and Design, Alfred University, where she drew, painted and sculpted images on clay forms and vessels. After receiving a Masters degree in Business Administration, she continued her art training in Los Angeles in painting, which became the primary focus of her art practice. A resident of Southern California for over 25 years, the artist maintains her studio in Malibu. Gay Summer Rick regularly exhibits in California and Hawaii, and has shown in New York, Europe, and Japan. Her paintings have been featured in solo gallery exhibitions and museum group exhibitions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Rental & Sales Gallery; and in international and national group exhibitions where she has received numerous awards and honors. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, Malibu Art...
