Garden Chairs and Lunch Table

His work was regarded in the same school as the originators of the Bay Area Figurative style, which included, David Park (1911-1960) and Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993)
Dutch Still Life with Stacked Objects and Telephone (detail) "He painted in a brushy manner similar to theirs until the late 1970s, when his style turned crisp, emphasizing bright light and sharp shadows, and he concentrated on still life themes.
The Dutch Baroque still life tradition served as a historical source for Mr. Wonner, but he typically painted objects from everyday contemporary life. His mature pictures distinctively portray things as separated by almost surrealistically vacant distended spaces." sfgate.comGreen Cloth, Orange Juice, Magnifying Glass

Megan, I love the fact that Paul was open to changing his style, as you know I am experimenting with different mediums in art. I also am a huge fan of Diebenkorns works.
oooh. Diebenkorn is one of my all time faves too.
I'm glad this resonated with someone! I was sitting here, yesterday, with the image of the garden chair and lunch table up on my screen as I worked. It felt so soothing to work next to, that I had to share!
I love this style of painting--he also must have drawn inspiration from the Spanish realism of the Baroque tradition and perhaps the "new school of Spanish realism"--thanks!
Very nice! Each is very unique
thanks for introducing a wonderful artist I was not previously familiar with! And LOVE the pink bedroom, by the way...
