Buy an Original Landscape and Transform the Culture!
If you purchase this beautiful painting for your home. You will support the work of an artist and the gallery, and generate money for Scala Foundation in support of its mission
CS Talley is a working artist who studied at Pontifex University’s Master of Sacred Arts program and sells 40-50 landscapes a year, priced from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
He currently has a show at a gallery in Texas, and he has generally offered to donate 50% of the proceeds to one of his landscapes to Scala Foundation. This means that if you buy this landscape, you support the artist, the gallery, and the Scala Foundation in our work.
Steve is also a donor who supports the Scala Foundation and its mission, and has participated in the spiritual exercises of our Way of Beauty process, so it a great supporter and contributor to our mission in more ways than one! When we did this last year, the painting sold in one day, so we are hoping for a similar response this time
Here is the work, one of his ‘nocturne’ landscapes painted in situ in oil. It sells for $950; without the frame, it is 10’ x 8’. It comes framed, and the price does not include shipping costs. To buy it contact the gallery: Charles Morin Fine Art, Fredericksburg, TX. Phone is 830-307-3019
I am particularly fond of his ‘nocturnes’. Nocturnes are paintings that capture the mood of a landscape at twilight, dusk, or in full darkness, evoking a sense of mystery and serenity. As an art form, it was pioneered by the American artist James McNeil Whistler in the 19th century. Like Whistler, Talley paints en plein air, but whereas Whistler painted scenes of London and the River Thames from a rowing boat, Talley paints with his feet firmly on the ground of Texas and New Mexico. He told me that of the paintings he sells, around 65% are nocturnes.

Here is the painting that he sold through us last year, also a nocturne. It is called “Milky Way Night”. It is 5” x7” unframed.
