21. Yellow Basket with Lemons
Yellow Basket with Lemons
Description
An acrylic painting of a yellow wicker basket accompanied by three yellow lemons on a tan background., The paintings of Sally Haley are much loved in the Northwest, partly at least because she often (but not always) has painted familiar domestic objects-bread, eggs, bottles, fruit, dishes, the simple, reassuring, eternal things. And she paints them with mastery so admirable that our response is a combination of delight and awe. They appear in a variety of settings and con-formations: a loaf of bread may almost fill its small canvas; a stemmed glass containing, quite surprisingly, five eggs, and standing alone, with mysterious iconic overtones, in a vast dark space; or a group assembled on a table in Haley's own subtle version of the still life. But there is a great deal more to her art than the masterly rendition of familiar objects. Many of her canvases, entirely bare of objects, are seen from, as one might say, a much wider angle; they are interiors divided into austere geometric shapes which suggest corridors, walls, windows, doors. This artist is certainly drawn by the basic architectural features of interiors, and to their meanings: the universal vertical and horizontal planes of wall and floor, the advance of corridors, the promise of doorways, the rectangles of sky disclosed by windows. She makes her own perspective, often puzzling, sometimes disquieting. In most of her painting there is…a sense of something, withheld or barely suggested, of questions unanswered, though: everything in the painting exists under the most unequivocally revealing light. Yet the surreal hovers near, is waiting in the wings, so to speak, and is sometimes evoked. At any rate, on feels , http://www.laurarusso.com/artists/haley.html, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

After the Rain
Description
Beyond what has been provided herein, we have no additional information regarding this artwork., Ruza Erceg In 1961, Ruza Erceg said to her daughter, Helen, "If I have paint brush, I start to make painting." Helen relayed this message to her brother Joseph, a graphic designer, who, that same day, bought her watercolors, brushes and paper. She immediately began to produce delightful, colorful images. Ruza was born in the fanning village of Imotski, Yugoslavia in 1898 and came to this country in 1922. She and her husband first settled in Pennsylvania then moved to Oregon. Ruza Erceg paints images of her past in Yugoslavia. They are soft and colorful images of rural scenes (farms, fields and farm houses), villages, white buildings with red tile roofs and an occasional painting of a sailboat or of a larger city. Her images are of no particular site but rather of a collective spirit of the land she left so long ago. Numerous paintings are surrounded with delightful painted borders which suggest a painted frame to contain the image., The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
