"40 Love" Painting, LIFE series

40 Love is inspired by the love of the sport. The painting consists of two figures, one standing on the other side of the net and the other lying on the court. The figure lying on the court is so exhausted that they are lying on the court, similar to the player who has won the game. While this player has not won, this painting is not about admitting defeat but about playing. Even though you may not be good, you can still enjoy the game.

This painting was done by artist Susan Havens-Morris. The Life Series is based on moments, events, and things from Susan's childhood during the '70s and '80s.

It is a perfect holiday gift for that favorite avid reader. Herman Melville’s words jump off the page and onto your wall in our collection of “Moby Dick” inspired artwork. 

A quote from Moby Dick is all the inspiration needed for this unique piece, "the Whale went down again. Layered tone on tone painting of blues is the vastness of the sea and sky all in one. The Pequod Ship is all cut from super-thin wood and applied to the surface. The White whale is a cut shape applied to the background and always has a great distressed matte finish overall— framed in 100+-year-old wood lath. All handcrafted from wood, each piece is created for you. 

The focal point of these unique pieces is the white whale of the four artworks in our White Whale Art Collection, all from Herman Melville's Moby Dick or the Whale, a classic piece of American literature. These are a visual representation of the chase throughout the novel. All feature Moby Dick as the main image; they feature the ship, the Pequod, the deepwater of the oceans they sail in search of the whale.

The perfect holiday gift for that favorite avid reader. Herman Melville’s words jump off the page and onto your wall in our collection of “Moby Dick” inspired artwork. 

The inspiration behind this white whale art is just how big the whale had become to Captain Ahab in his mind. The eye of the white whale is made up of a silhouette of the captain walking up the huge white whale. Harpoon in his hand he is going to get Moby Dick. 

The large white whale takes up most of the foreground, the background is the black water he is swimming up from. Engraved cross-hatching surrounds the whale image, blue paint is rubbed into the ground. The natural texture and grain from the wood show through the skin of the whale emulating his years at sea.

Each piece is handcrafted from wood, hand-painted and for the finishing touch, we have added a unique reclaimed wooden lath frame. They are true works of art and each is uniquely created for you.

The focal point of these unique pieces is the white whale and is one of the four pieces in our new collection all from Herman Melville's Moby Dick or the Whale, a classic piece of American literature. These are a visual representation of the chase throughout the novel. All feature Moby Dick as the main image, some feature the ship, the Pequod, the deepwater of the oceans they sail in search of the whale.

The tenth piece in our Antoinette Series is large portrait painting of the french queen. Her entire face is made from multiple layers of paint built up. There is so much texture coming together to create her pink complexion.

Her forehead is brushed with a symbolic cross of the catholic symbol and french monarchy. The wig is highlighted with pale pink and bright maroon to add more contract from her dark background.

All of her features are exaggerated voluminous curly hair with bold eyes and plump lips. Her demeanor is present with a light smile, she’s not watching you but merely looking over you.

Would be absolutely stunning in a solid black frame over the fireplace or greeting visitors in your entryway.

The fifth piece in our Antoinette Series is meant to capture the essence of the tragic life of one of France's most iconic Queens, Marie Antoinette. Our painting is the most unrealistic reflection of physical appearance and feels distorted and yet it is the most captivating view of her essence. She is featured as a very gaunt version of herself, dark and distant.

The sixth piece in our Antoinette Series that is meant to capture the essence of the tragic life of one of France's more iconic figures, Marie Antoinette. This version of her has perfectly captured the essence of discomfort. 

She is highly decorated in wigs, make-up and clothing but there is a tremendous amount of discontentment in her face. She is beautiful and elegant but her face does not reflect her appearance.

The ninth piece in our Antoinette Series that is dark and interesting portrait of the tragic life of Marie Antoinette. This piece is dramatic and bold almost pop art is how stylized it is. A statement piece wherever it is placed!

Crimson Red light Illuminates half of her pale white face. Her cheek is powdered in the deepest blush and her eyes look off in the furthest distance.

All of her features are exaggerated voluminous curly hair with bold eyes and plump lips. Her demeanor is present but doesn’t wish to be there, she’s not watching you but merely looking through you.

Should be absolutely stunning in a solid black frame over the fireplace or greeting visitors in your entryway.

Available with complimentary frame options as well as shipping.

This piece features an animatronic horse in front of a store window that has classic painting displayed on its shelves.

In conjunction with the first piece "Pony for my Birthday", this is the second later-in-life realization. My longing to own my own pony has started to fade. The desire I originally wanted is not as strong, therefore not as realistic as depicted in the horse. The Horse has begun to loose color and chip. All together the horse has become fuzzy in my vision. However, my unrecognized dreams are just beyond the window of my horse. At this point in my life, I'm starting to find new interests like attending art school and making my own art. The art behind the window is made by some of the greatest painters we know, Picasso, Warhol, and O'Keefe, and I've started seeing them in Chicago at the Art Institute, so they are inherently in the back of my mind now. They are finer and clearer in detail than the horse, meaning I'm focusing more on the art that my love of horses. 

In the next 5 years, I'm attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to complete a bachelor's in Fine Art.

Our NEW LIFE series is a take on growing up in the '60s and '70s. People are already saying it is "fun and happy" bright powerful colors are rich and invite you into our world.
