Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Andy Jurinko
Having grown up during the Golden Age of Baseball (1946-1956), Andy Jurinko paints some of the most inspiring moments of his childhood and of baseball history: Bobby Thompson's legendary homerun, and the famous victory of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1955 World Championship. The artist has also paints hundreds of player's portraits, from Gil Hodges to Frank Malzone. Jurinko studied at the Philadelphia College of Art and his work is in the collections of the Boston Red Sox and ESPN.
 
  Leslie Concannon
Leslie Concannon's newest oils on canvas continue her goal to create a sense of place. The artist compiles old drawings inspired by vintage films with memories of distinctive locations to develop her abstract landscapes. Golden and blue washes overlap beautiful line drawings of leaves and architecture. Concannon studied at the Boston Museum School and received her MFA from Queens College.

 
  Lee Haber
Lee Haber's paintings are reflections of his trips to Mystic, Connecticut and Central Park in New York. The artist creates all of his works 'en plein air,' or outdoors in front of his subject, allowing him "the combined experiences of working outdoors in nature and experiencing the wonderful subtleties of light and shadow of each particular scene." Haber received his BFA from the Pratt Institute, and has had several solo exhibitions in Manhattan.

 
  Peri Schwartz
Peri Schwartz admires the philosophies of Igor Stravinsky and Willa Cather, who both marvel at artists' ability to find wonder in both life's regularities and happy accidents. Schwartz' realistic still-life and landscape paintings are examples of such sensitivity, reflecting the artist's skillful hand and careful observation of light and shadow on everyday objects and scenes. Schwartz received her MFA from Queens College, and her work belongs to the collections of the Yale University Art Gallery, the Fogg Museum, Pfizer, Inc. and the Library of Congress.
