Rita Simon Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
American, b. 1938
Rita Simon (1938 – Present)
Rita Simon is an American artist whose complex and dream-like prints are more like visions in mystery.
As a graduate of Cornell University and the Academy of Rome in Italy, Simon has written for various art publications and coordinated original theme exhibitions.
There is no idea or image that is out of bounds, she reaches beyond conventional understanding to depict un-worldly concepts. Her work has been exhibited in 1971 and again in 1974, in the windows of two dozen Madison Avenue galleries.to

"Santa Maria della Salute I" - Venice - Watercolor Painting - Turner
By Mclean Jenkins
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Santa Maria della Salute I" is a watercolor painting of the Santa Maria della Salute church and minor basilica in Venice, Italy. This work features hues of blue, orange, green and yellow. This piece is 14.5 by 17.75 inches framed.
McLean Jenkins is inspired by the work of JMW Turner, Richard Diebenkorn and Louis Khan.
McLean Jenkins is a practicing architect with McAlpine and his work derives from and celebrates the classical forms of his trade. Working in graphite, ink and watercolor, McLean employs a gestural approach that frees his hand to explore a subject’s essence. His compositions rely on the quick, decisive sketch and are then given over to the whims and splashes of watercolor. Spontaneity, movement and spirit are all emphasized and his drawings collectively form their own narrative of his passion for architecture.
The city of Venice has captured McLean’s imagination since his first trip there as a 12 year old boy. Over the years a kind of courtship with the city has evolved, and its impact has motivated and sustained his development as both architect and artist. His work depicting the city has been recognized within the architectural profession by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in its award to McLean of the J. Neel Reid...

BLUE JAY WAY
By Christina McPhee
Located in New York, NY
BLUE JAY WAY, 2012
ink and graphite on Arches cold press paper
44.5 x 75 inches / 1130 x 1905 mm
unframed
Christina McPhee’s expansive abstract paintings, drawings, photographs, and videos test or query how can we know, and who is we? Moving from within a matrix of measurement, observation and contingent effects, her work resists characterization as product, and continually accesses fields outside itself. For her, process equals trial. Her work emulates potential forms of life, in various systems and territories, from a perspective of the non-self– a world beyond identity.
McPhee’s dynamic, performative, physical engagement with materials, in both her analogue and digital works, is a seduction into surface-skidding calligraphic gestures and mark-making. The tactics of living are in subterfuge, like the ‘dazzle ships...
