Artistry: CREATIVE GIFT GIFTING

But we’re not finished shopping yet. Let’s make the short trek to Solana Fine Art, a contemporary fine-art gallery that highlights the work of emerging and established artists from across the United States. There are so many choices. Movement and bright colors predominate in Ana Guzman’s work (Airport Reunion, 6-by-6 inches, $280; and Blue Car in Havana, 4-by-4 inches, $225). Those same characteristics are obvious in work by Heather Blanton (Little Skiers, 6-by-6 inches, $295), while twin sister Holly Blanton (Birds on a Wire, 8-by-8 inches, $275) leans toward layers and textures to achieve dimension and emotion. Holiday colors of red and green make Lorra Kurtz’s image of a bird (Fly By, 4-by-4 inches, $100) seem to wing itself off the canvas. And if Pat Zalisko’s abstracts (New Year’s Day on the Beach, 5-by-5 inches, $125) evoke Ukrainian Easter eggs, there’s a good reason—the artist has memories of painting them as a child in New York City. Solana Fine Art will offer more to explore at Color & Lights: The Holiday Show, which opens on Thursday, November 20, and features a captivating collection of works focusing on the warmth, wonder and beauty of the season. 1104 Solana Avenue, Winter Park, 321.972.1774, solanafineart.com.
