John Maxon Hi Rider Large Watercolor Abstract Landscape Aquatint Etching
About the Item
Fabulous aquatint etching by celebrated artist, contemporary painter John Maxon. The nearly four foot wide image is a broad field of sky blue with dynamic earthy strokes situated at the horizon. “Hi Rider” is abstract and open to interpretation, Maxon typically paints landscapes and waterways. It’s quite obscure whether this is a shoreline, or vista of distant mountains across a plain. The narrative absence allows the viewer to fully immerse in this sublime vision, enveloped in soothing blue skies. The serene field represents endless possibilities. The bright blue skies evoke a sense of hope and wonder. The limited aquatint etching has an ethereal watercolor quality. The piece is pencil signed, titled, and numbered. The piece is ready to hang and comes as pictured in a chic gold frame with acrylic pane. Vintage 1985, titled “Hi Rider.”
Aquatint, a variety of etching widely used by printmakers to achieve a broad range of tonal values. The process is called aquatint because finished prints often resemble watercolour drawings or wash drawings.
John Maxon is a notable contemporary artist from the San Francisco Bay Area. John Maxon developed an expansive view of nature and the spiritual essence it imbued. Capturing the eye of many well known corporate and private collectors, his abstract landscapes conveyed a sense of spirit, offering a unique perspective on the patterns and contours of the Earth.

Toyota, Kaiser Permanente, Ritz Carlton, Merck, Delta, University of California Berkely, Texaco and countless others have made Maxon’s work a part of their collections.

- James C. Borden Large Cityscape Street Scene Watercolor Painting Cerused FrameLocated in Chattanooga, TNAbsolutely masterful watercolor street scene painting by James C. Borden (1928-2013). Prepare to be awestruck when you lay eyes on this exquisitely detailed watercolor painting by James Borden. The modern painting depicts an ethereal urban scene crowned with summer light. The scale itself is impressive at over four feet wide and three feet high (50.75? x 36.675?). There is just so much to see, so much texture, so many layers. Borden has truly mastered his medium. This is a watercolor cityscape on paper, housed in a cerused wood frame and protected by a pane of acrylic. The painting’s vibrant colors have beautifully preserved. The mastery of this painting is unreal. Borden’s orchestration of color leads the eye through the painting with late afternoon sunlight carving a path through an otherwise gray urban interior. His use of color is narrative. The viewer is being teased away from gloomy city life with a glimmer of sun and nature on the horizon. The nuance in his layering, through elevated passages of transparency… simply brilliant. Be sure to spend time with this painting. There is more to see each and every time you look. Did you notice the Easter egg? Borden used his name as the sign on one of the buildings on the left. The painting is pencil signed “Jim Borden.” James C. Borden studied at the School of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was a life long painter. Mr. Borden spent much of his life in South Bend...Category

The ostentatious wall art encapsulates the decadence of the 1980s. Every trick in the book is used to gain your attention; scale, glitter, and gold. Massive white magnolias have rivers of gold glitter running through their veins. Take a close look at the white and mauve flower petals, the forest green leaves. Bands of gold run through all of the botanical elements. Flower stamens are bursting fireworks of gold glitter. It’s difficult to describe this unique piece of art. The flower image...Category
