Dancing Til Dawn
Oil on Canvas, 36" X 48", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
We wanted to convey how an artist - a beautiful dancer - is free from all cares as she performs for no one in particular.

Best View
Oil on Canvas, 24" X 24", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
We are amused by the solitude, or perhaps loneliness, of a bird high above the hustle bustle of city life.

Green Vase
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 40", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
What a joy to express the notion that beautiful objects can exist in space and time as a unique gift of abstract pleasure.

Boat Watch
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 40", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
The idea of painting within a painting was inspired by the great Rene Magritte. We felt that the hint of the real boat showing behind the canvas added an additional layer of interest.

Old Timers
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 40", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
Lanterns have an element of romance. It is a metaphor for a light of hope at twilight at day's end.

Contemplative

Modern Renaissance
Oil, 24" X 30", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
The renaissance style of painting of a woman who falls in love with a marble statue is a play on the story of Pygmalion.

Serenity
Oil, 24" X 30", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
We created a feeling of serenity between nature and wildlife. We feel that the fawn is experiencing her first act of independence drinking from the stream without her mother nearby.

Alone at Last
Oil, 30" X 40", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
For all of us who sometimes feel rejected or left out. We wanted to create tenderness in the doll's aloneness.

Blue Bench
Oil on Canvas, 20" X 24", Davide Bavati and Ellen Powers
This bench is so welcoming with stories to share. We imagined how many people sat on it pondering their dreams and reflections.
