Sally Swatland's Cape Cod Marshes captures two children wading through the tidal waters, their colorful clothes and buckets reflected in the shallow pools around them. Swatland’s handling of light and atmosphere is especially effective here, with the wetlands stretching toward the horizon beneath a softly shifting sky.

Beach scenes have been central to Swatland’s work for decades, drawing on her own childhood memories of exploring tidal pools and seaside landscapes. Her paintings often center on children absorbed in simple outdoor activities, using their interactions with the water, sand, and landscape to create scenes that feel rooted in personal experience. Her approach, which she describes as “Realism with Impressionism,” combines carefully observed figures with the loose handling of light and color she developed through years of plein-air painting.

Cape Cod Marshes is currently available through Rehs Contemporary. Contact the gallery for pricing and acquisition information.

Lisa Falkenstern’s I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles places a formally dressed chimpanzee at the center of an imaginative scene, complete with a top hat, spectacles, gloves, and a tiny bubble wand. Against a richly patterned blue backdrop, dozens of translucent bubbles surround the figure, creating a striking contrast between the dark clothing and the saturated background. The unexpected combination of Victorian-inspired dress and a simple childhood pastime gives the painting its distinctive character.

With more than three decades of experience as an illustrator, Falkenstern brings a highly developed sense of storytelling and character to her fine art. Her background includes nearly 1,000 book covers, award-winning illustrations, and work featured in publications devoted to fantasy, horror, and contemporary illustration. That experience is evident in her ability to construct a scene around a single memorable figure and a strong visual concept.

I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles is be on display in our booth at the Atlanta Art Fair from October 1st - 4th. DM us or contact the gallery for information about this piece or the show.

Tony South’s Bronc takes an unexpected subject—a mechanical horse ride with a live monkey perched in the saddle—and turns it into a sharply observed study of an unusual pairing. The monkey’s posture and expression contrast with the rigid form of the mechanical horse, giving the scene an offbeat sense of character and humor. South keeps the composition focused on the unlikely rider and his brightly colored mount, allowing the subject itself to carry the narrative.

South’s approach to painting reflects his background in illustration and motorsport art, where strong shapes, technical detail, and visual storytelling were essential. He builds his paintings with thin layers of oil glaze over a white acrylic underpainting, allowing the color to remain crisp while giving the subject depth and dimension.

Bronc will be on display in our booth at the Atlanta Art Fair from October 1st - 4th. DM us or contact the gallery for information about this piece or the show.

UPCOMING SHOW: ATLANTA ART FAIR

Are you in the Atlanta area and love art? Come check out our booth at the Atlanta Art Fair from October 1st - 4th!

Among the works that will be shown in Atlanta is Lucia Heffernan’s Crest Rider, which puts a distinctly unexpected twist on the winter sports scene.

Heffernan is known for placing animals in distinctly human situations, transforming familiar activities into imaginative scenes without losing the visual detail and realism that define her work. Her background in illustration and graphic design has also played an important role in developing these compositions, allowing her to construct elaborate settings before translating them into traditionally painted imagery.

Crest Rider will be showcased alongside other works by Lucia Heffernan and a diverse range of artists we represent at the Atlanta Art Fair. Please contact the gallery via DMs for tickets and more information about the Fair.

Hiroshi Furuyoshi (古吉弘)’s Elizabeth brings together portraiture, still life, and art-historical references in a scene filled with carefully observed details. A young girl in a white dress sits on an ornate bench, holding a small bouquet of flowers, while an elaborate medieval tapestry depicting mounted knights fills the space behind her. The contrast between the simplicity of the figure and the richly decorated surroundings gives the composition a distinctly theatrical character, with the piano and tapestry framing Elizabeth at the center.

Furuyoshi’s fascination with Western art began early, growing up surrounded by paintings, antiques, and art books in his family’s shop in Hiroshima. After studying traditional Western painting techniques in Kyoto, he developed a practice rooted in the techniques and imagery of European art. Elizabeth reflects that interest particularly well, pairing a contemporary portrait subject with historical objects and imagery to create a work that feels carefully constructed yet full of visual discoveries.

Elizabeth will be on available for viewing as a part of our booth at the Lauritzen Gardens Antiques & Design Show in Omaha, Nebraska, from September 24th to 27th. For more information on the show on this piece, please contact the gallery directly.

Timothy Jahn’s Whisper Elegance showcases his ability to combine the discipline of traditional representational painting with a more exploratory approach to atmosphere and composition. Between his training and his teaching career in the United States, France, and the Caribbean, Jahn developed a practice grounded in careful observation while remaining open to abstraction and imagination.

This combination is particularly evident in Whisper Elegance, which centers on a traditionally furnished interior, with a carved dressing table and tall mirror occupying the middle of the composition. Framed pictures, lamps, upholstered chairs, and polished wood furnishings fill the room, while a large window at right filters light through a sheer curtain. The result is a carefully constructed interior that feels richly lived-in, yet slightly removed from the present day. Jahn's creativity allows the viewer to see into the inner workings of his mind, as we explore a scene of his own invention.

Whisper Elegance will be on display in the Rehs Contemporary booth at the Lauritzen Gardens Antiques & Design Show in Omaha, Nebraska, from September 24th to 27th. For more information about the Show or Piece itself, please contact the gallery directly.
