“King Tide” oil painting by Ron Nicolaides
Ron Nicolaides, with years of study and experience, has become a powerful accomplished artist. He has mastered the mesmerizing translucent waves in his depiction of the sea without freezing its energetic rhythms in oil paintings of the Pacific storms and king tides.” FH&G
“Come and Sit with Me” after the storm, oil painting by Lee Munsell
“Lee Munsell uses nuances of light to create transcendent evocations. It is refreshing to find an individual like Munsell who embraces time-honored tradition and then attempts the difficult. He may approach a silent mountain terrain where clouds and light are as much the subjects of the work as are the peaks, rivers, and strong pines. Munsell explores the profundity of water and light, presenting a shimmering work on rocks or a glow of luminosity in waves. Taking the effects of light is his way of expressing a belief in a supernatural origin for the natural universe. He seeks to convey the timeless and lasting effects of creation”. –William Havlicek, American art critic
