"Fall Still Life" Sharon Ross, Art Treks, Lexington, Kentucky

In another piece from Sharon Ross, "Fall Still Life" Sharon continues to explore color light and shadow. There is beautiful shadow work in the deepening folds of the fabric. These folds are further expressed in the highlights we see as the fabric moves much like the water in the following works "Kentucky Creeks" and "Summer Day at the Beach". These are all beautiful expressions of the dramatic play of light in painting.

"Day at the Beach", Sharon Ross, Art Treks, Lexington, KY

"Day at the Beach" is another work by Sharon Ross that explores the play of light on water. I love the shadows that extend beneath the feet of the children as they play in the gentle waves. The color of the waves is a soft aqua and the white of the surf plays beautifully against the soft white of the children's clothing. These are Sharon's grandchildren. The figurative work is very exciting and the interaction of the figures with the sea gives us the experience of those long, free days at the beach during summer vacation.
