(No Tax on All Purchases Outside of Colorado! Ask About Free Shipping & Free Financing.) Imaginary Realist Robert Bissell creates a completely different atmosphere from our daily existence, inviting us to learn more about ourselves. In his paintings, the world of animals is a mirror for human existence, self-definition, and reflection. These are not mere children's tales--quite the contrary. Robert Bissell's work causes us to reflect on the environment, life, death, renewal, and the stages of transition--departing from the safety of family, and making our way in the world. Early tribal cultures believed the natural world to be the bridge connecting earth and spirit. Animals were regarded as powerful spiritual beings that could connect humans to unseen realms, the natural world, and each other. "Bissell's work disarms by narrating vitally grown-up and urgent allegories in the guise of child-like humor," warns William Zimmer, art critic for The New York Times. R ... (more)

I used to watch frogs at my pond in England, noting how each one had its own color markings, character and even personality." Tim Cotterill was born in Leicester, England, in 1950. He left sch ...

() Terry Gilecki has always had an ardent interest in the beauty of Koi and the diversity of their color. He has devoted his artistic career to capturing their essence in his paintings. Moreover, Terry Gilecki's attraction to, and study of, Koi brought him to the realization that, through his paintings, he would be able to emulate the simple and rewarding pleasure of actually watching them. Born in 1954 in British Columbia, Terry Gilecki received a diploma in Commercial Art in 1973. He now devotes himself fully to making fine art. His technique involves first applying reactive mediums and modeling material for texture, then painting in acrylic through a combination of airbrush, brush, and scratching back techniques, then finishing with the addition of translucent, opaque, and--occasionally--metal powders for a dimensional quality. ...

() Nancy Glazier knew she wanted to be an artist from early childhood. In her teens, she lived in Wyoming, where she immersed herself in the rugged, western terrain. There, she was mentored and taught by artist Adolph Spohr, who gave her private instruction and taught her how a professional uses paint and brushes, how to observe and self-correct. Surrounded by mountain beauty and the animals she loves to paint, the artist says, "I feel a kinship with the animal that grows as the painting progresses. There is a powerful chemistry at work. People always ask me what my favorite animal is to paint. I tell them it is always the very animal I am painting at the time." For Nancy Glazier, it is "a warm, living, breathing process that brings me back again and again to the easel. It is my ultimate reward." Many of Nancy Glazier's admirers and collectors consider her to be an extraordinary artis ... (more)
