Item Description

Rebecca Holland is an artist of reknown from Santa Cruz, CA.  This is an original oil on canvas, painted in the late 1980s, confirmed personally by the artist.  It measures 26"x30".  In a gallery, this would be listed at around $2500.  We are asking for a starting bid of just $833. 

At this year's Kings Mountain Art Festival Rebecca sold a similar era painting for $850 and this was because it had suffered some damage.  There was great interest in the piece, and she could easily have got $1100, even in its damaged state. 

This item was sold before the giclee process of reproduction was known.  Framed giclee prints of Rebecca's original art (at this size) sell for around $900 - and this one is the ORIGINAL oil on canvas and is beautifully framed already.

Item Special Note

Rebecca Holland has been painting oil on canvas landscapes for nearly 50 years. Her passion has been driven by the natural beauty she sees in the fog and the light on the redwood forest, the ocean, and the farmlands of rural California where she lives and works. Her impeccable detail and technique are self-taught skills, honed from years of observing. As a child, Rebecca was inspired by the techniques of the classic European painters and their use of detail, but especially of light–light emerging from darkness. These early inspirations have matured into the landscapes filled with light for which she is known.
