Warmer Weather 48″ x 48″
by Gregory Stocks
The paintings in this show range from brilliant exuberating colors to somber tranquil interpretations. Gregory Stocks paints the best of “Traditional” landscapes. His interpretations solicit an appreciation of the landscape and nature, in and for itself not unlike like the Hudson River School.
Jeff Cochran presents almost eerie predawn settings, using atmospheric perspective, often including a few suggestions of cattle grazing, which contribute to the serenity. Barbara Gurwitz paintings show tranquil villages composed of vivid colors. The villages show no inhabitants. Are they deserted, or is everyone in church?
by Barbara Gurwitz
Joseph Young creates flat fairytale landscapes teeming with activity of fish out of water, butterflies, kittens and puppies all interacting with each other and the “landscape”. Leigh Gusterson uses brilliantly colored landscapes to lead the viewer on an adventure through her hills and valleys. Gusterson shows evidence of human and animal activity suggesting a rural bucolic lifestyle. For Stocks, the landscape is the story. For other artists, the landscape is the background to the story.
The show also includes Acacia Alder, Alix Stefan, Greg Dye and many others.
