Reflections from the Small Woods.
Ms. Shechter said, “My paintings reflect my love of nature and of all of the organic forms within the natural world, as seen through my expressionist eyes. I am surrounded by trees, and through the use of vivid acrylic color I capture the textures, shapes, and patterns that give each tree its unique personality.”
She continued, “The shadows of the leaves cast by the trees are ephemeral and pervade our environment and yet are mostly unnoticed. By tracing the elongated, and often distorted shadows on canvas, and bringing the abstract shapes to life with color and texture, I can capture a moment in time.”
