The sundrenched sky is solid and dense while the action and drama seem to have subsided for the day. You feel satiated but maybe you'll clean up and come back out for an afternoon cocktail as you tie the sheets to the cleats and settle into home port. It was a day well spent so far and tomorrow is another day! Artist Joseph Sundwall layers the imagery at the marina as though a realistic depiction but stays true to impressionist style thereby ensuring that the motion remains even when at port. Sundwall has framed his original marine landscape in a custom stained wood traditional frame; the overall feeling of this oil painting is transitional as the classic marina interfaces with some abstracted elements.

Kevin Kearns' landscapes come from a place where memory, reality and imagination are combined. They are atmospheric, sensual and continue to evolve over time, allowing the viewer a glimpse into his world. And we are invited to dream, fly over, walk around, live in and contemplate that world – seductive, enticing and coming from very specific memories of places that have fascinated Kearns, whether it be the Hudson Valley where his current studio is located or places like the New England seacoast, Iceland and Europe. The resulting landscape images are full of light, space, color, softly undulating hills that disappear and reappear and broad expansive skies, and yet little sense of human presence or architecture.

His work received numerous awards and accolades, including multiple Cannes Lions, One Show awards. New York Art Director awards, London International Awards an Emmy nomination, and was published in prestigious award show...
