Jasmine Marigold
Piya Samant
$950.00
Artist statement: Beauty is fleeting and my desire to capture the beauty of life (be it human, flora or fauna) is irresistable. As an introvert, I connect more with people's body language and less with their words.

Floral still life are a delight to paint because I am able to project emotions onto unsuspecting flowers through the play of light and strategically placed brushstrokes.

Lemon

Subhash Shorey
$650.00
Artist statement: I am in love with nature.

Sunrise Solar Eclipse
Edwin Simas
Artist statement: A rare Sunrise Solar Eclipse or syzygy taken on June 10, 2021 in Grafton, MA. This one hour phenomena only occurs every 60 to 150 years in any given location. Initially clouds covered the event. However, as they gradually parted, I focused on the trees in the foreground and zoomed in to capture the earth, moon and sun in the frame and thus avoided having to wait another 60 to 150 years.
