Against a cool background of blue-grays and white, we see a hillside of innumerable colors flowing downhill in nearly a molten state. In contrast to Fastovsky’s general blending technique are several smaller clusters of intensely pointilized…

We look out from an elevated view towards a small lawn, enclosed between several city apartment buildings of varying sizes. An added layer of fence and trees can be seen between the apartments and lawn as well. The straight lines of the buildings…

In this bower of parkland amidst the Bronx, we look up a gentle hill toward its crest beneath a muted sky. Thin layers of impressionist blending create a modulated glow in trees and grassland alike. Perhaps the painting's most striking effect is its…

It's fall, and a farmer is seen returning a wagonload of hay, presumably cut and dried in his fields. Fidaroff composes his scene so as to obscure what may be a gas-powered tractor (since we don't see a team of horses ahead of the farmer). A warm…

A single lily stem displays two blossoms, with the promise of a third; their colors and shapes run extravagently in all directions. Holding the lily is a crystal vase with a mesmerizing, flame-like pattern. Through its facets we see the lily’s green…

This painting appears to be a collection of familiar domestic objects: a bowl of fruit and a plant rest upon a deep window sill; another plant is visible outdoors. But is everything in its place? Here, plants on either side of a glass window or glass…

With the exception of this watercolor's foreground, much of Gaige's composition relies on evocative applications of color hovering above negative space (particularly at upper right). Exotic greenery is set against a carefully penciled arch, while a…
