About the Item
Large Nature Diptych by Alex K. Mason of Heron Rookery, " The Rookery" is watercolor & acrylic on Yupo mylar unframed with greens, grays, blues and pinks. Painted in 2023, each panel of the diptych is 50" H x 30"W.
It is the expression of making marks for canvas or paper, which reveals itself to me in the process of the work. I am drawn to the free forms found in nature rather than the geometric and hard edged. I am inspired by patterns found in the natural world and try to reference them as well as create new patterns. Flora, fauna, and color fuel inspiration for my works, but I never have an exact idea of what I will be creating until it is complete.
My goal when creating a painting is to make it authentic by concentrating on each color and mark. There is a sense of motion and kinetic energy that comes across from the mark making of the brush strokes and spontaneity of drips. These accidental drips, washes, and splatters give depth, texture, and atmosphere to my compositions, that on a good day, I hope create a kind of beauty.

Alex K. Mason
My work is inspired by the plants, flowers, birds, insects, colors, and patterns found in the natural world. I want to convey the kinetic movement of particles in the wind, clouds, and phases of growth where all living things are intertwined together. I often look at books on horticulture, birds, the cosmos or my old paintings as a reference, without a specific idea of what I want the final work to look like. Then I begin to paint. Color is my passion and sets the mood for each composition. My design work as well as previous paintings often influence the direction of the color pallet. Over the years, I have developed my own iconography of orbs, particles, plants, berries, and other forms, which has become the foundation of all my work. My paintings are about the messy loose process of laying ink, acrylic and gouache to paper, canvas, or board. This conscious and unconscious process of applying each stroke, drip or splatter, flows through me to reveal an unpredicted painting. It is a meditation on color, shape, form and composition. The built up layers in my paintings expose all of the traces and phases which are in the continuum. These accidental drips, washes, and splatters give depth and atmosphere to compositions intended to express beauty, originality and authenticity. My paintings are bold in their imperfections and abundance of exaggerated interpretations of nature.

- Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with PetroglyphsBy Cindy KaneLocated in Soquel, CAWoman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with Petroglyphs by Cindy Kane Absolutely stunning large scale abstract expressionist painting titled "Bending Forward," by San Francisco and now Martha's Vineyard artist Cindy Kane (American, b. 1957). This unique monumental piece, created in 1987, has a netherworld primal quality depicting a petroglyph-like blonde woman and her animal spirit dog bending toward a flower-strewn earth. Additional petroglyph vignettes add mystery to narrative. Signed and dated "Kane '87" upper right. Unframed. Image size: 66.5"H x 84"W. Her early works were influenced by her memories of these hieroglyphs, and embellished with symbols from her dreams. “I hope [that viewers] get what I get from my work, which is enjoyment, visual satisfaction, and a story — whatever their own story is,” she said. “I can’t give them one, but I can tell my own, and the story they take with them is something personal.” Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come. While working in Grand Canyon National Park, she became familiar with the Anasazi Indian ruins...Category
