Description This Painting depicts the Yaquina Head lighthouse in New Port Oregon. It is part of my collection called, Lighthouses of America. It is the unique architecture of each of these buildings that inspired these paintings. An unparalleled history accompanies these buildings. Throughout history, there have been stories of ships making safe harbor by following the beacon of light streaming from the tall structure. The Oregon Coast with its rocky shores and Tempest Sea has much need for lighthouses, they are still protecting the ships and boats in their area. For this scene, I have chosen a cool color pattern. To create the atmosphere of a misty, cloudy day so typical for that region, I used a sharp contrast between lights and dark, and a soft value gradient. With this painting, I hope to awaken emotion and feelings in the viewer.
Gina Femrite, Savannah Georgia Member Since October 2011 Artist Statement Gina Femrite began cultivating her artistic abilities at an early age under the guidance and mentorship of her father Johann Strater, a European Impressionist. As an incredibly talented and innovative artist her passion, dedication, and vision has acclaimed her the status of an accomplished, and well sought after artist among other contemporaries of this time. Her primary inspiration came from her love of both the Flemish masters and the French impressionists. From that influence Gina developed her own unique style, a mixture of realism interwoven with a contemporary flair. The body of her work entails paintings that celebrate the delicate beauty of the female figure, wildlife that captures the accuracy of the physique and movement of the animals, and also the spirit of the grandeur of nature. In some of the artwork the palette is bold and full of contrast, where other paintings have a soft and airy beauty. All pieces are a masterful creation in composition, color, harmony, and technique. Gina has won many awards and recognition as an artist and illustrator. She has created an international following of corporate and private collectors. Her work has been purchased for reproductions by many prestigious publishing houses.
