Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Ellen Solari
Ellen Solari's barely representational and abstract paintings are for the silent escapist. The artist uses combinations of harmonious color, such as beige, white and green, to relax the eye of the viewer. "I see my work as contemplative. I hope each of my paintings is viewed as a small oasis of calm in a hectic world." Solari studied at the Massachusetts College of Art, and has exhibited throughout Illinois.
 
  C.C. Wolf
Stone walls, wooden fences and endless rows of trees are the images that C.C. Wolf uses to express sentiments on the passage of time. Nature is her most immediate subject, and is an appropriate metaphor for the temporal moments in our memories. Wolf studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and at Hunter College in New York City. Her work belongs to the collections of AT&T, Merrill Lynch and Fleet National Bank.
 
  Julie Seyler
Julie Seyler's latest organic abstractions explore relationships through color and form. Often approached with a playful edge, Seyler's paintings appear as eye candy, but actually spring from an intention to respond emotionally to people and places. Seyler is a lawyer, and studied at the Art Student's League in New York.
 
  Peter Illig
Peter Illig's new large-scale paintings continue his fascination with visual storytelling in a unique film-noir style. In almost every work, such as Window and Persistent Memory, the artist makes reference to and connects popular culture to the history of art. Illig studied at the University of Colorado and Buffalo State College, and has exhibited his work throughout Colorado. He is also one of PaintingsDIRECT's most popular artists.

 
  Domanueno Lusaki
Domanueno Lusaki updates his portfolio of postcard size paintings with portraits of everyday life from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a culture he has experienced most of his life. Memorable reflections of the artist's homeland, like fishermen and street vendors participating in daily routes to the market, motivate his scenes. "Every day teaches me something new and creates numerous inspirations."
