"I wanted to try to capture the excitement of Times Square on a chilly early winter afternoon," shares artist Leroy Burt. "The island (Duffy Square) was dominated by a series of large tangled red sculptures that twisted like writhing snakes frozen in a mating ball."
About the Artist
Artist Leroy Burt paints playful, offbeat landscapes and portraits based on his experiences living in Milwaukee, New York, Costa Rica, and currently Rochester, Minnesota. "I think of my paintings as short stories," he says. As a young child, Leroy faced a number of obstacles. His parents divorced when he was four years old and he was raised by his grandparents in a three-room shack without running water or electricity. Leroy worked hard to pull himself out of poverty. He studied graphic design and painting, which led to a 30-year career in graphic design - five years at WMVS, the PBS television station in Milwaukee, fifteen years at city hall in Milwaukee, and ten years at WNET, the PBS station in New York. In 2015, Leroy retired to focus his energy on painting. Today, he works from a tiny studio filled with half-finished paintings stacked against every wall. "There are photos and sketches for future paintings taped everywhere," says Leroy. "My windows are filled with orchids. There are books, films and music CDs in every corner. And the room is dominated by a black and silver Andy Warhol silkscreen print of Marilyn Monroe."

A group of narrow, colorful houses stand side by side on a hill. The distant mountains bask under a cloudy summer sky. Tall birch trees with autumn leaves rustle with joy, adding to the vibrancy. The bright colors exude a playful energy.
About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths...

Four tiny cabins nestle among autumn foliage, with rolling mountains and fluffy clouds providing a serene backdrop. A rutted dirt road leads from their entryways and winds alongside a tall birch tree in the foreground. The vibrant colors exude an enchanting, cheerful, and whimsical charm.
