Presumably at the edge of a small mountain lake, we look across its surface to the middle and far distance. Although using atmospheric perspective to some extent, the hills and sky also register as a single plane differentiated by line and color. The…

Spare composition of an open space, perhaps parkland, is most distinctive in its use of linear elements. The horizontals of skyline and a row of plantings across the middle of painting are intersected by verticals of trees and, in the distance, lines…

Deceptively simple in scenic terms, Fidaroff's painting relies upon a carefully restricted range of colors, shapes, and distinctive landscape features. A river, partially visible at lower left, makes us aware of a serpentine line continuing to upper…

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…

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…

Three boys are deeply absorbed in the work of childhood, in this case perhaps the aquatic life beneath a stream's shimmering surface. Fastovsky's composition encloses the boys, unaware, beneath the arch of a viaduct yet with rolling parkland and…

Loosely translating as a "state of disuse," Fastovsky's title certainly applies to this rural scene. We see what appears to be a boarded-up chicken coop and other farm outbuildings inside a walled enclosure--although the abandonment seems recent…

Cool blues and greens dominate much of Sharp’s landscape, creating a sharp contrast against the red of the barn and sails. A body of water surrounding the wharf clearly is too small for any boats and seems to be drying up. The rolling hills and…

Bowler uses fine strokes to create a vibrant display of red and pink tulips spiraling outwards amidst a mass of strong, green leaves in a unique, white cornucopia vase. The arrangement is placed directly in the daylight on a white window bench along…

Light pastels of white, red, green, and silver create a delicate and private image of an East Asian figurine behind a short pot of flowers, possibly lilies. The background is very bare and gray-scale, emphasizing the bright colors of the flowers. The…
