Bernstein--The Acacia Plant.jpg
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…

Candell--Boats.jpg
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…

Caleonesco--Autumn Bouquet.jpg
We see a wooden table, whose surface appears to consist of different textures, one half smooth and the other ridged. It becomes the space for an arrangement of autumn flowers and leaves in a white ceramic bouquet vessel, flowers painted on the vase…

AndrewsRobert - 01.jpg
Naturalistic landscape of idyllic lake is complicated by Andrews' use of impressionist blocks of color that flatten the picture plane into birch trees and a diorama behind them. Their leaf color suggests a time of late summer which, if true, helps…

Blumfield--Still Life With Wildflowers.jpg
This painting features a vase of flowers and a spilling fruit bowl on an upholstered chair. The left half of the painting is busier than the right, which gives a sense of unbalance. Warm colors are used, such as reds and pinks, and brush strokes are…

WidlizkaLeopold - Mountain Torrent.JPG
A cascade of water runs diagonally in Widlizka’s composition, separating two areas of trees standing on what appears to be rocky foundation. Much of the water is obscured by the trees, several of which are very dark green with some lighter shades…

Alger--Chrysanthemums.jpg
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…

UferMaryFrederickson - Sun Worshippers-1.JPG
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…

AlgerJohn - 01.jpg
We see a small chapel with terra cotta roof and a small bell. The only spots of color are the red roof tiles and the teal of bricks aroud the door. The rest of the painting is bleached, faded to hues of pale beige and blue. The door inside, framed by…

Cogan--Fruit and Flowers--small.jpg
A simple still life (perhaps deceptively so) includes as its ostensible objects a Grecian vase, flowers, and red grapes. Whether intentional or not, each element evokes a somewhat different artistic tradition: classical sculpture, informal nature in…
