About the Item
Artist Comments
A woman sits contently on a green swing with tea and a bouquet of roses. Soft, dappled sunlight falls through the trees and warms the scene. Artist Sherri Aldawood says she posed her model, Alana, in her backyard on a lovely spring day. "This painting was such a joy to paint," exclaims Sherri. "I felt like I was reliving that beautiful day all over again!"
About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.

- Distant Shores, Oil PaintingBy Malia PettitLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Two models in vintage bathing suits, one with a red swim cap, pose together on a sandy beach. "The overall color scheme is deliberately earthy and muted, with just a few shouts of color in her suit and the turquoise strip of water on the horizon," says Malia. She paired carefully rendered portrait features with loose brushwork to build a nostalgic and somewhat moody atmosphere.About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently lives in California after having lived in England for ten years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.Words that describe this painting: portrait, beach, women, swimsuits, bathing suits, vintage, Milt Kobayashi, Michael Carson , summer, ocean, seascape, sunbathing, models, people, fashion, representational, vintage, oil painting, beige
