Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Karen Ann Patton
Karen Ann Patton's newest additions to her portfolio include a variety of sunflowers and other blossoms, such as irises and roses. The artist uses thin layers of watercolor and acrylic to achieve the rich luminosity of each picture. Patton studied art with masters like Skip Lawrence and Wolf Kahn, and her work belongs to the collections of Olympus of America, the Automobile Association of America and Koehler Oil Corporation.
 
  David Stroup
California photographer David Stroup's gorgeous black and white photographs depict the human body's physical and spiritual relationship to the earth. He juxtaposes delicate, nude figures against sweeping desert and mountain landscapes with overwhelming results. "The human form becomes for me an extension of the landscape, a metaphor for our spiritual connection to this Earth." His locations include Joshua Tree National Park, Montano do Oro in California, and the Carrizo Plains of Central California. Stroup studied at Hancock College in California and has exhibited at the Santa Barbara Art Museum and the Texas Artists Museum.
