Pecan trees and bluebonnets beautifully adorn the roadways all over Texas. In this painting, the intentional arrangement of the pecan grove is contrasted with the sporadic wild bluebonnets, attributing beauty to ordered and randomized nature.
Little Rock native Kristen Hess has been taken captive by the rich colors and thick textures of oil paints since 2005. Her work combines the effect of light on her subjects with expressive brushstrokes, creating movement and depth in her pieces. Her representational style along with an extensive background in drawing come together with the atmospheric colors of the impressionists to create paintings that capture the emotion of the place or subject.
