About the Item

Serene river scene watercolor from important Bay Area figurative contemporary artists Mary Robertson, who is associated with the Bay Area Figurative School, founded by Elmer Bischoff, Richard Diebenkorn and David Park. Mertored by Gordon Cook, Roberson focuses on an area she knows intimately — Northern California's Russian River, where she lives and works. “Mary Robertson’s joyous and meditative paintings are are colorful simulations of contentment and sacred play.” Wayne Thiebaud. Steeped in the Bay Area figurative movement, Mary Robertson’s oeuvre focuses on an area she knows intimately—Northern California's Russian River, where she has been painting for over 25 years. The region’s beaches, umbrellas, floats, and figures are iconic in the quiet and intimate paintings of Robertson, but it is the afternoon Bay Area light that takes center stage, as it interacts with the landscape to create the real magic. Her oil paintings and watercolors have an affinity with the American Realists, the Impressionists, and the Pointillists such as Seurat. When taking in a Robertson scene, there is a sense of time standing still, and being bathed in a lazy California summer glow that doesn’t fade. Image is 5 x 7 inches. Professionally framed in clear maple with an outer dimension of 13 1 x 14 1/2 inches.
