American Art Collector - September 2010



Harkrader's new painting 'Nave Botanical' may be viewed in the September issue of  American Art Collector. The image is part of a two page ad placed by RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, NC.
Comments by the gallery owner, Kelli Scott can be seen on page 45 and images on page 71. The painting is incredibly deep with layers of lucid medium that present a 3D effect. The canvas is heavily layered with thick paint and has mixed media and mediums embedded into the canvas face that include leaf parts, Greek text, fibers and collages of various types.
'Available' "36" x 48".

 Female Nude with Chair, one of 100+ from the Harkrader 'Life Drawing' series.
A pleasing composition from humanity. "Feeple have more fun than anyfody"...Annoymous : )
"Whether I'm painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I'm not working, I'm still analyzing people." Alice Neel" http://www.aliceneel.com/home/
