Introducing this week's new PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  William Stewart
Vibrancy is the first word that comes to mind when you view the curiously bright and rich surfaces of William Stewart's watercolors and pastels. The artist is inspired by the gardens, mountains and valleys of his surroundings in Taos, New Mexico. Stewart received his MFA from the University of Texas. His work belongs to the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna, Fordham University, and Fairleigh Dickinson University.
 
  Yolanda Mesa
Just in time for this year's beach season, Yolanda Mesa's playful narratives depict a happy crowd geared-up for summer. Cheerful families and bathing suit-clad ladies pose for portraits on the yellow sand. "For me the figure is very important…My work is like a big theater set." Mesa studied at the Instituto de Artes in Colombia, the Pratt Graphic Art Center and the Academia de San Fernando in Spain. Her work belongs to the collections of the Museo de Universitario del Chopo in Mexico and the Museo de Art Moderno de Bogotà, the Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena, and Museo RAYO in Colombia.

 
  Roman Scott
Roman Scott captures the "majestic panoramas" of Manhattan and the glistening lights of the wet city streets in his oil works on canvas. The Chrysler Building, Times Square and the Twin Towers are just a few of the New York City landmarks in Scott's portfolio. Scott studied at the Slade School of Art and received his MFA from Hunter College. His works belong to the collection of the Museum of the City of New York.
