About the Item
Artist Comments
A pair of hearty coastal pines preside over vast dunes, an afternoon storm gathers on the distant horizon. Soon, the incoming tide will once again soak the dunes and gather salty water in the sandy tributaries. Pat applied many layers of paint to give the piece a luminous quality. Part of Pat Cross's ongoing series of the American landscape. Pulling images from her memory and camera, Pat starts each painting by marking the horizon line and sketching in basic shapes with vine charcoal. Once satisfied with the composition, she anchors it with burnt umber oil paint applied with a bamboo brush. Pat continues to draw ever increasing detail to model shapes into 3D. She then glazes on thin layers of oil paint and finally adds texture with a palette knife. In keeping with her interest in the natural world, Pat works exclusively with archival materials that are also environmentally friendly. She uses organic water-filtered oil of spike lavender, oil of clove, walnut oil and linseed oil as her painting mediums.
About the Artist
Artist Pat Cross combines her love of both mountain wilderness and painting into her detailed impressionist landscapes. Born in a coal town, Pat's father played tenor sax to pay for his engineering degree and moved the family out of the coal community into a metro area. She recalls, "it was my father who noticed my drawing before I could tie my shoes, and later he showed my drawings to a nationally respected artist who permitted me (at age 15) into his college level figure drawing class." As an adult, Pat moved across the country, exploring the varied geographic regions and taking classical painting classes along the way. She now lives in Eleanor, Virginia, a town designed by Eleanor Roosevelt and nestled between hardwood hills and a river. She remodeled a 1950s farmhouse into the ideal home, with a painting studio, canvas prep room, framing/shipping workshop, and an office. When she's not painting, in the cold months, she experiments with healthy cooking, and as soon as the hiking trails clear, she heads into nature for inspiration.

- "Shipyard" Realist Industrial LandscapeBy Robert LavinLocated in Austin, TXThis painting is a 20th century realist landscape depiction of a shipyard by Robert Lavin. The piece is executed in oil on board and measures 10" x 24". Robert Lavin was born in New York City. His education included Townsend Harris, a prep school in New York followed by college at City College of New York. He also attended the National Academy of Art, where he studied as a painter. Studying the social realists of the 1930’s, Lavin, a former Marine pilot, portrayed steelworkers, roughnecks and trainmen. Lavin often painted his “proletarian ballets”- as one critic called them – to illustrate magazine advertisements. The Smithsonian Institution and other museums collected Lavin’s original paintings, which portrayed the laboring subjects with dignity and integrity. Lavin also illustrated stock certificates and books. Paper Money magazine praised him as “one of the greatest vignette artists of the 20th century.” In addition to this, Lavin was for a number of years an Associate Professor of Art at City College of New York, a position he left in the mid ‘60’s in order to devote himself full time to his painting. His commissions took him around the world, from the North Sea to the coast of Africa, from the slopes of Alaska to the Sea of Japan. As part of a series for Gulf Oil, he painted the royal family of England for the opening of a new refinery in Wales. Another portrait of one of the early Americanastronauts, appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. Other major commissions during these years included Readers Digest books...Category
