Rob Day

Marco Polo

Oil on Paper

Image: 9.5"x10.5"

I recently had an opportunity to acquire an illustration by Rob Day, one of our gallery artists. It is a beautiful small work that exhibits the mastery of painting and unique interpretation of the subject.

 This was an illustration for a story about the travel journals of Marco Polo. Commissioned and published in an in-flight magazine for a major airline.

Arne Kvaalen

Deep River
Pastel

Eye On Art Gallery is delighted to exhibit a series of works by Indiana Artist, Arne Kvaalen. Arne is a retired Professor of Art at Purdue University and continues to explore the landscape

Landscape painting has always been his concern, recording the Western landscape prior to his move to Indiana. In recent years, he has turned to the land along the Wabash River, lush and verdant in contrast to his earlier Westorn works.

Old Farm Road
Pastel

Arne's pastel paintings exhibit his mastery of the pastel stroke. Color shapes come together with 100s of individual strokes.

We had a good turnout for the May Gallery Walk featuring the works of April Willy. Great comments on how well the gallery looks.

April Willy

April Willy

Eye On Art Gallery is delighted to show a series of works by April Willy, an Indiana artist. She has titled this series her "circular" style and describes the works as representative of modern impressionism.

These works are oil paintings in which she maintains the smoothness of the painting surface to feature subtle gradations and fluidity of line in the layers of circular ringlets.

Haley Farthing

Eye On Art is always adding new works to the creative collection of artists. For the April 14 Gallery Walk, 3 new pastel paintings on wood will be on display. These unique works are by Southern Illinois art faculty artist, Haley Farthing.

Bob Cross

Pompeii XXI

2 panels, 24"x16"

It is always interesting to meet artists that have researched the Eye On Art Gallery and see their works as a good match. This happened with Bob Cross as he visited the gallery a few months ago. We actually had a lot in common with his work as a printer at Tyler Press in NY and my background in printmaking and teaching. His works are quite different and very textural. It is like discovering a fantastic wall section from old ruins...and give meaning to his titles.

Rick Bennett

Sandbar #10

42"x36"

I just received two new paintings from painter, Rick Bennett. Rick's works have been very popular in the gallery with two earlier sales. His works are a pleasant reminder of vacation(s) with white sands, clear water, and colors that are never seen in the Midwest.

Vic Vicini

I am very happy to add the talents of Vic Vicini, MIchigan painter from Michigan. He brings another view of photo realism with a great sense of design and forms.

Vic Vicini

For the past decade or so, I rediscovered oil and have not looked backed. My subject matter focuses on objects of nostalgia. My parents both came from San Marino, Italy and you can imagine food was a big part of my upbringing. I enjoyed the culture of my heritage but my ambition as a youth was to discover America and all its charm. Memories of a typical American breakfast or dinner as a kid, going to little diners with my Dad and helping my little Italian Grandmother in the kitchen are things that are in my thoughts when I paint my still life's. Whether its vintage cars, old toasters or retro food packaging art, these are thoughts and images that play a strong influence in my art. It seems that if it is retro more than likely I will put it on canvas.

Zoey Frank

Teasels

Oil on Linen

22"x32"

I am very pleased to introduce the works of Zoey Frank, painter from Boulder Colorado. Zoey is a graduate from the Juliette Aristides Classical Atelier in Seattle, Washington.http://aristidesatelier.com/artist/zoey-frank

Yves Leterme

To Look is to Listen

Mixed Media on Paper

Another painting by the Belgium artist, Yves Leterme. I have five of his works in the gallery now and it has been a treat to look at the original, see and feel the subtle color and textural transitions in the works.

Mixed Media on Paper

Another image from Yves Leterme. I love the landscape feel to this work.
