Catherine McCargar
Chinese Lanterns and Lunaria, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
Catherine developed a soft, warm background to highlight these delicate and papery seed casings. The silvery, translucent lunaria dance around the stunning orange lanterns, complementing each other and nicely contrasting the lacquered black vase. "I wanted to bring beauty and excitement to the wintery landscape," says Catherine.


About the Artist
Impressionist Catherine McCargar expresses her deep admiration of nature through landscape paintings of Northern California. While she is well-versed in a range of media, her preferred medium for painting is watercolor. The fluidity of the paint allows her to capture the muted undertones and the fleeting light found in the natural world. While the backgrounds of her paintings are impressionistic, the foregrounds of her paintings are often highly detailed, showcasing her technical mastery over her medium.

  • The Bronze Goddess, Original Painting
    By Nava Lundy
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    A dainty rose exudes a strong and feminine aura. Its petals draw the gaze in, revealing more detail as they converge toward the center. Bronze and gold highlights enhance the neutral tones of the flowers, bringing depth and warmth to the painting.


    About the Artist
    Artist Nava Lundy crafts impressionist paintings that radiate delicate feminine charm, characterized by romantic and textured elements. Focused on achieving depth and dimension, Nava applies impasto layers with a palette knife. With a touch of gold present in nearly all her pieces, her paintings shimmer with a luminous and dreamlike quality. "My goal is to have the viewer see the depth of color I see and to rethink the mundane by elevating it through the exploration of subtlety and turning up its volume at just the right points," says Nava. Her creative journey took a transformative turn at 16 when a teacher's encouragement led her to discover her artistic voice. She then pursued a BFA degree in painting. Nava works in her cluttered home studio, accompanied by her two dogs and occasionally music or podcasts. Beyond art, she spends quality time with her family and rescue hounds and enjoys her alone time in the morning with a strong cup of coffee and a workout.
