James Swinnerton is certainly one of those painters who found their happiness in the vast, arid, and bewildering desert. For many artists, like Conrad Buff, Maynard Dixon, Clyde Forsythe, Fernand Lungren, Robert Rishell-the desert inspired artistic enlightenment. The abundant beauty that existed in the quiet of the desert became their muse.Swinnerton loved the austerity of the desert. In his paintings he captures the same loneliness that Edward Hopper has in his cityscapes.The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by James Swinnerton utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.

Carl Sammons was one of the more notable early California Impressionists. His best-known subjects include California landscapes and coastal scenes. While much of his work was done in California, he also traveled and painted throughout the Western region, including sites in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. He was a critical and commercial success in the 1920s and a commercial success again in the 1950s.Carl Sammons' lack of recognition today may be due to several reasons. First, unlike many of his more renowned colleagues, Sammons chose to limit the amount of time and effort he spent vigorously promoting his art. He didn't participate in many public or juried exhibits; preferring to sell his paintings through galleries, private exhibits, and personal contacts. Sammons felt painting wasn't a competitive endeavor but an act of creation in which each artist expressed his interpretation, each equally valid, with the ultimate verdict lying in the hands of the purchaser of the painting. However, by not participating in juried exhibits, he excluded himself from the possibility of winning awards, another way that artists gain historical recognition. Sammons was a very private man, and he chose not to participate in many of the same activities that his peers did. Therefore, many of the records that art historians normally look at to support an artist's place in history do not exist for him.The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Carl Sammons utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.

Alson Skinner Clark remained steeped in the Impressionist tradition throughout his life. He appears to have been painfully aware of the ever-increasing mark that Modernism was leaving on the Western world's artistic landscape, but he remained an Impressionist at heart. What separated Clark from many of the painters of the day was his extensive training at the top art academies in New York, Chicago, and Paris. James McNeill Whistler and William Merritt Chase were two artists that Clark was particularly enamored with. Additionally, he travelled extensively in his search for fresh and unique subject matter. Although he called California home in the latter years of his life, Clark painted extensively in New England, New York, South Carolina, Illinois, Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Panama, Mexico, and Croatia (formerly Dalmatia).The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Alson Skinner Clark utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.

A fast suspense story in the classic tradition of "action" sci-fi-a story of Repatiki and a crisis in the advance into Sthalam.

Walter Ufer was a colorful personality. He was a generous, outspoken man with a sensitive social conscience. Accordingly, Ufer depicted the Indian with an unblinking eye for detail, often without the romanticized trappings of lost grandeur. His bold, confident use of thickly applied paint, which he had learned abroad, was intensified by the vibrant color and sharp contrasting light of Taos. Ufer was very fond of the work of John Singer Sargent, and his work shows this influence in the portrayal of the hands, faces, and garments of the figures. Ufer, however, in his best work, went beyond the surface of things to expose the undercurrents of human feeling. Unlike so many of his Taos counterparts, he seems to have been struck by the irony of the Indian's lot in this artistic paradise, and he used the language of paint to argue more eloquently than he could have done with words.The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Walter Ufer utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.

Chiemsee, the largest lake in Bavaria, otherwise known as "Das Bayerische Meer" or "The Bavarian Sea", covers an area of 80 square kilometers and has a maximum depth of 74 meters. The name has a kernel of truth in it: not only does the lake have tides like the sea, it also originated from the primeval Thetis Sea which once covered almost half of Europe.It has three islands-Herreninsel, Fraueninsel and uninhabited Krautinsel. The lake's shores are flat on the north and south and flanked by undulating hills to the east and west. The waters are clear and well stocked with trout and carp. The Herreninsel, the seat of a bishopric from 1215 to 1805, has a Benedictine monastery (founded 764, dissolved 1803) and is the site of Schloss Herrenchiemsee, a Bavarian royal castle built by King Ludwig to surpass the palace at Versailles. A little Romanesque church affiliated to a former Benedictine convent (766-1803) is on the Fraueninsel.Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the present array of artistic depictions of Chiemsee with accompanying endnotes vividly explores my enduring fascination with various painters' portrayals of this Bavarian body of land and water.

Food is especially dear to me since it is universally relatable and there are so many different forms, textures, shapes, and colors to try to replicate. When sculpting food in 1:4 scale, where one inch equals four inches, I render clay sculptures with acute attention to minute details when representing their real-life counterparts. Polymer clay is an ideal medium since it is readily molded into a wide range of food substances.The present collection contains examples of my steakhouse theme. I have created more than 500 replicas over the past 20 years.It is the highest compliment when my replicas make you doubt even for a split second that they are not edible.My hyperrealistic faux food will confuse & blow your mind!
