Hidden in Plain Sight: Tara’s Favorite Details

For the third installment of our Hidden in Plain Sight series, Tara from our Haverford gallery has selected three artworks and is sharing the subtle details that caught her eye—things that might go unnoticed but truly elevate the pieces.

Join us as we dive into these hidden gems and see the art through Tara’s expert lens.

Peacock St. Mary’s by Hunt Slonem

The thickly painted circular strokes around the peacock’s torso. There are 50 shades of green!

Sundown Summer Shore by Michael Hoffman

We often don’t (spoiler alert!) pour over the outer edges when we’re looking at art, but don’t miss the deliberate drips of clear coat that flow over the wood board — it gives one a sneak peek into the artist’s process!

There’s No One Around by Carol O’Malia

Zoom in close and you’ll find dozens of tiny bright orange brush strokes within the soft white folds of the pillows. Can you find them all? Orange is the new white in Carol O’Malia’s dreamy pillow piece.
