The small seaside towns of Cornwall, England have nurtured many famous impressionist artists, attracted by it's veauty and tranquility. John Ambrose has been capturing these atmospheric scenes since 1962. His water glistens and shimmers, his clouds flow majestically across the sky and the jetties, boats and buildings, contracting with the dark against the light, are testaments to his mastery of chiaroscuro.

Salvador Caballero was born in 1944 “with painting in his blood.”  Self-taught, Caballero was deeply influenced by his uncle, Vincente del Olmo, a serious painter who inspired his nephew to capture the essence of Mediterranean life, from Spanish courtyards to Barcelona streets to countryside farmhouses to lake scenes.  Caballero began his professional career as an illustrator and designer of book and magazine covers, which helped him acquire the agility and precise aptitude for drawing.  While he is best known for his landscapes, he has also produced stunning portraits and still lifes.  Caballero’s work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.
