Points of View--Teal

Points of View—Teal

An original oil pastel painting by Lori Brunner from Love Letter to La Jolla, a series inspired by the life, light and visual language of Southern California.

Points of View—Teal plays with perspective—taking familiar forms and reducing them to shape, color and repetition. The composition invites the eye to move across the work, discovering relationships between forms that feel simultaneously recognizable and abstract.

Teal brings a sense of depth and connection to the Pacific, but the painting resists becoming a literal representation of coastal life. Instead, color becomes a memory of place: water, sky, sun-faded surfaces and the unexpected combinations found throughout La Jolla.

The title, Points of View, speaks to the idea of looking again—of finding something new in familiar surroundings simply by changing one's perspective. It is an idea that runs through Lori's work as both an artist and designer: how we see can be as important as what we see.

Created in oil pastel, the piece retains the immediacy of the artist's hand. Texture, variation and subtle imperfections soften the graphic quality of the composition and give the work an expressive, tactile presence.

At 39 × 32 inches, the painting is substantial enough to hold its own within a room while remaining intimate in character. Presented in a solid maple frame, the natural wood provides a quiet architectural finish.

Points of View—Teal is one of three original works in the Points of View series, each available individually on the website. While designed to stand beautifully on its own, the piece can also be collected with the other two works and displayed as a series—creating a larger conversation of color, repetition and shifting perspective.

Part of Love Letter to La Jolla, Points of View—Teal is ultimately an exploration of perspective, color and the familiar made new.

This original work is featured in Lori Brunner’s La Jolla home, photographed by Douglas Friedman for its feature in AD Italia—offering a rare glimpse of the painting within the interior it helped define.
