John Lawrence Doyle
The Dealer, from the Gambler Series, c. 1979, (###III/XL)
Color lithograph

'The Dealer' is an original lithograph from John Doyle's 'Gambler' series. The suite included ten different prints, each image capturing the exhilaration and danger of the games of chance played by casino goers. In one of the prints, a woman pulls the lever of a slot machine; in another, men queue before a lottery ticket window. In 'The Dealer,' a man faces the viewer directly. His stern gaze is hidden behind dark glasses as he springs cards between his hands in a flurry of aces and spades. His clothes reflect both the fashion of the 1970s while also hearkening to the villains of Western films. All the while, he is framed from behind by the arch of a blackjack table, which is itself lined by glistening lights of the casino.

One, 2017
Oil on canvas

"One" is an original oil painting on canvas by Alayna Rose, signed in the lower left. In this composition, Rose has abstracted the side-profile of a head by filling it with an array of colors and shapes reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism. By combining a figural form with gestural abstraction, Rose reveals the innerworkings of the head's psyche—its thoughts and emotions, memories and recollections—as they bloom vibrantly into consciousness. The only relation that these fleeting thoughts have to one other is the shared space they occupy within the head; hence from the multitude of thoughts, emotions, and memories comes the 'one' symbolized by the head.

Always Dancing, 2009
Oil on canvas

"Always Dancing" is an abstract oil on canvas painting by Alayna Rose. Like the works of abstract expressionist Cy Twombly, Rose uses explosive lines and an extensive palette to capture the kinetic energy of the title.

Alayna Rose is a painter, jewelry designer and former illustrator. Alayna paints with watercolor, oil, acrylic and mixed media on paper and canvas. Her influences include De Kooning, Diebenkorn, Mitchell and Frankenthaler.

Her fashion jewelry has been featured in exclusive boutiques from Hawaii to the East Coast. In 1987 she was featured as an outstanding new designer in Accessories Magazine. Her copper enameled designs have been exhibited in shows in New York City, Chicago and other major venues in the United States.
