SCOTT WILLIAMS
"WATERFALL OF THE GODS" 

Scott Williams is supposed to be back in Iceland right now teaching an art group, but the photographer couldn't travel due to the Coronavirus.  This is one of his phenomenal images of "Waterfall of the Gods" taken in Godafoss, Iceland. It is 34 x 50 and a photograph on metal.  The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters. An old Icelandic legend tells the tale of the waterfall's name through a Viking leader named Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði.  
YORAM GAL
"JERUSALEM STARY NIGHT" 

As part of the Israeli revolution happening right now Yoram Gal painted this piece called "Jerusalem Stary Night," that is an acrylic on canvas 40" x 28."  

The three signs say:   Power, Money, and Honour.  A local print shop in Israel made stickers and posters of it for free, as their contribution to the revolution for protesters fighting for justice, truth, and love. 


This is the view from the rooftop that Yoram Gal sees from his home in Old Jaffa, Israel.  His home and studio are located near the coast and Andromeda's Rock.  

The piece was completed this summer in June 2020 and is an acrylic on canvas 48" x 26."

RITA KIRKMAN
"Winter/Spring" 

Pastel, 10" x 22" by Rita Kirkman 

"I just love how white wooly sheep look in late sunlight. This is my 4th or 5th medium/large sheep painting, all from the same "photo shoot" of a beautiful herd that I discovered on the way home from somewhere a few years ago. It was abut 5 o'clock and the light was fantastic, and the sheep were a wonderful mix of young and old, shorn and thickly unshorn. I must have taken over a hundred photos as they milled about.  Sometimes I'll use various photos for my compositions, but these two happened to be standing next to each other just like this when I snapped the photo. I loved the contrast of shapes and the challenge of using an even number of subjects in a composition."
