Bethesda Fountain in Central Park is beautiful any time of year, even when flowers aren’t blooming in the terrace! The warm purple treeline in the background acts as a contrast to emphasize the surprising warm yellow light hitting the snow.
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.
