Rolla Taylor Art

American, 1872-1970

Rolla Taylor was born in 1872. Taylor, originally from Galveston, Texas, started painting at the age of 14. Before arriving in San Antonio, Texas in 1889, the Taylor family spent several years in Houston and then traveled to Cuero, Texas by covered wagon. Taylor graduated from the Cuero Institute and later studied in San Antonio with Robert Jenkins Onderdonk, Jose Arpa and Theodore Gentilz. Later, he studied in France for 3 months with Arthur W. Best in San Francisco and Frederick Fursimman in Michigan. Taylor was a personal friend of the artist Julian Onderdonk. Taylor exhibited frequently for 60 years, including local, state and numerous national exhibitions throughout America. His first exhibit was in San Antonio in 1894, at which he won first prize of $500 and later sold the painting for another $500. He painted in the impressionist style, lively with color and flooded with sunlight, which represents Jose Arpa’s influence. His subjects were mostly old buildings, shacks, landscapes, San Antonio River scenes, missions of San Antonio, blooming cactus and scenes of old Mexico. During his earliest years, his subjects would be a pair of shoes, a cat, some books, Mexican jugs or anything in the home. Many of his local paintings are now of historic interest that recorded buildings that no longer exist. His memberships include American Federation of Arts; Chicago Society of Artists; Society of Independent Artists in New York; San Antonio Art League; Southern States Art League; River Art Group; Coppini Academy of Fine Arts and Leon Springs Art Colony.

Located in Preston, GB

Figures on Beach Shoreline Painting of Cliffs in Ireland Oil on Canvas 1990's, by Irish Artist Darren Paul. Art measures 17 x 13 inches Frame measures 24 x 19 inches This atmospheric coastal landscape captures the rugged beauty of Fair Head, one of Northern Ireland's most iconic natural landmarks. Painted with expressive brushwork and a sensitive understanding of light, the composition draws the viewer across the golden sands and shimmering waters towards the dramatic basalt cliffs that rise majestically above the sea. Soft coastal light filters through sweeping cloud formations, creating a sense of movement and changing weather that is synonymous with the wild Antrim coastline. In the foreground, figures strolling along the beach provide both scale and a human connection to the vast landscape, while the distant white cottages nestle beneath the imposing cliffs, emphasising the harmony between nature and rural life. The artist's confident handling of colour and texture evokes the fresh sea air, rolling surf and expansive horizons of this celebrated Irish location. Rich earth tones contrast beautifully with cool blues and silvery greys, creating a balanced and inviting composition that captures both the grandeur and tranquillity of the scene. A timeless portrayal of one of Ireland's most spectacular coastal settings, this painting will appeal to collectors of Irish landscapes, maritime subjects and works that celebrate the enduring beauty of the natural world. Darren Paul was born in Belfast in 1944. From childhood, Darren had an affinity for art. He attended art classes under the tutorage of Desmond Kinney...
