Bridlepath, Central Park
Three women and one man are seen riding horses along a muddy trail; a younger rider with two braided pigtails leading them. A faded building is seen in the background--and we remind ourselves that this is New York City. There seem to be three…
Autumn
A deft hand with tonal color renders Fastovsky's autumnal landscape somewhat different from what we expect in paintings of that season. We look down upon a valley whose brightest colors are literally marginalized--as borders between agricultural…
Sun Worshipers
Brilliant colors of red, white, green, and deep blues and purples stand out in this crown of flowers set against a monochrome backdrop. The flowers are supported via ceramic vase, as the flowers fawn out from the mouth of the vase; this whole…
Chrysanthemums
Alger paints a beautiful bouquet of pink, red and yellow chrysanthemums in a yellow vase. What strikes you immediately is the balance of his painting, the chrysanthemums rising symmetrically to fill the frame, their leaves drooping down to further…

Boats
Multiple small craft boats of different shapes, sizes and colors are moored alongside a wooden dock. The water is calm enough to see a green look-out tower, the blue sky, and white clouds in its reflection. The water level, however, appears to be…
The Acacia Plant
Either a table or chest is the resting place for a ceramic pot holding an acacia plant, a decorative bottle of wine, and possibly apples or peaches. Blues and reds are the two main colors, with white accents in the plant and the jug. One apple is…
