Donna McGinnis Art

American, b. 1963

Donna McGinnis is known for her imagined land and skyscapes that bridge realism with dreamscape or Magic Realism. Soft rolling golden hills and billowing white clouds in blue or stormy skies are recurring themes in her work. McGinnis is a mid-career American artist, whose oil on canvas paintings shine with the light and warmth of nature. She is associated with The American Impressionists and Magic Realism. Her work is included in some of the nation's most prestigious museums, public institutions and private collections, and is collected worldwide. Her works are contemporary and modern in composition. Both styles of painting are developed in the same way. Neither the abstracts nor landscapes start with preconceived ideas. With the swirling of brushwork and layering of glazes, McGinnis creates her signature style of softness and painting that glows from within. The Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco includes three of her drawings in its permanent collection and her work also appears in other numerous private and public collections. McGinnis has shown her work at the Oakland Museum of California, Arkansas Arts Center, Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento and several other public spaces and galleries. McGinnis paints in the landscape and abstract genre.

Sonoma Mountain Meadow Landscape
By Donna McGinnis
Located in Soquel, CA
A beautiful soft landscape Giclee of a glowing meadow in the Sonoma Mountains by Donna McGinnis (American, 20th century). Signed "Donna McGinnis", titled "Sonoma Mountains", and numbered "5/195", lower edge. Limited edition Giclee, high resolution long life inkjet print, Edition 5/195, printed on Epson Somerset velvet cotton rag paper. Displayed in a custom mat and wood Italian classical frame. Image size 29"H x 39"W. Paper size, 32.5"H x 42.5"W. Donna McGinnis was born in Spokane, Washington. McGinnis grew up in an artistic family. Her mother was an artist, her grandmother a musician and her father a photographer. Drawing came naturally to her as she had very vivid memories of admiring her father’s black and white photography. These silvery prints inspired McGinnis. Through his love affair with the still image, McGinnis learned composition, chiaroscuro (light and dark tonality), form and line, in essence the basics of formal art theory. McGinnis had a childhood babysitter and mentor who taught her and her two sisters art...

' Snow Drive ' original art oil on canvas
By Katherine Russell
Located in London, GB
' Snow Drive ' 2013 Original unique piece oil on canvas 40 w x 30 h cm signed on reverse by artist. Unique work. About the artist : Katherine Russell is a London based Painter. Her current body of work seeks to deconstruct our daily encounter with media images. From war zones to deserts, from solitary figures to candle-lit night markets, her choice of source material is indiscriminate of specific content, yet resonant with the unfamiliar and unsettling nature of our media-driven age.

I Know Everything - Birds Eye View of Chicago Looking East, Oil & Acrylic
By Albert Vidal Moreno
Located in Chicago, IL
While visiting Chicago in the summer of 2019, Vidal was afforded a stunning view of the city from various vantage points. This bird's eye view is looking east into the city with a peak of Lake Michigan in the background and captures a portion of Chicago's iconic skyline. The loose, abstract brush strokes and warm color palette come together in this remarkable urban landscape painting. The bottom of the painting is marked with Vidal's signature - a series of numbers. The artist has carried the painting over the edges, thus allowing it to remain unframed. Alternate framing options can be discussed with the gallery.
