Apple HQ

This is Apple's headquarters depicted in Nordberg's whimsical style! The picture is close to the original, of course, but one would be encouraged to view the original. Nordberg likes to put a 'narrative' into his work, and this piece is no exception.

Terje Nordberg is a Norwegian now living in Campbell. He has done landscapes and whimsical pieces (such as "Hells Cows") -- I suggested that he paints Silicon Valley landmarks. He chose Apple as his first piece, and here it is!

Original oil, 24" x 36", $1,400.

Colorful Figurative Work of Elizabeth Parashis

Elizabeth loves to capture the human figure in oil, acrylic and pastels. The image here, "Tracy" is acrylic and pastel on paper. You can see how she captures the figure -- yet expresses her paintings with colors lines and textures. Original Parashis pieces are offered starting at $95. She has paintings on board, paper, and canvas.

The Work of Don Dahlke

Welcome to the bright, bold, beautiful imagery by Don Dahlke. Your senses are ignited. Feel the warmth of the sun, hear the wind in the fronds, smell the sea air, a bit of paradise you can take home! Don’s trademark is the tropical shadows and also intriguing are the specific details within each piece.These are objects of significance from his life, the stories of which we can only imagine.

We offer a large selection of Dahlke's work. Giclees range in size of -- roughly -- 30" x 40" up to 40" x 60". All are gallery wrapped; which is the image is wrapped around the stretcher bars so the art can be hung without framing for a clean, contemporary look that is quite suitable for the bold artwork of Don Dahlke!

"Passage" by Eileen Graham

Eileen Graham is a mostly figurative artist, this piece is called "Passage," an original oil. Graham's work usually has a narrative in her work which this piece illustrates: What is the woman thinking, what is her mood...

Interior view of the art gallery

I thought to include some pics of the interior of the gallery -- so the blog reader can get an idea of the look and feel of the gallery that one is not able to get by viewing disembodied pictures of the art.

Visible in this shot of the front of the gallery is a four piece giclee California Oaks by Vicki Asp, two original Hawaii tropical landscape by Steve Memering (one is partially visible above), on the easel is an original California landscape of a barn in a field by Maralyn Miller and an original oil of a eucalyptus grove by Brigitte Curt, oil of the Golden Gate Bridge, a dragonfly abstract and a torso sculpture sculpted from a Port Orford cedar log.

California Landscapes by Gary Coleman

Gary Coleman states "My landscapes may start with a generally realistic sketch, but once work in the studio begins, painting takes precedent over scene, emotional response over strictly visual response. My paintings are more about something than they are of it. The push of color to extremes, and the use of line to imply motion help me show what I feel about a scene or abstract idea."

Posted is "Shadow Time on Windy Hill," 36" x #36", $1,700.

Representative abstract by Joan Harvey

Joan Harvey creates her art using mixed media: acrylics, and found objects such as maps, dress forms and tickets.

The Landscapes of Vicki Asp
