Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Jacques Flacher
French impressionist painter Jacques Flacher enjoys conveying the beautiful simplicity he finds in the objects and landscapes of everyday life. The artist creates each piece with a soft-toned, heavily-worked surface. “For me, only the essential matters.” Flacher is a self-taught painter who has been exhibiting his work for over twenty years.
 
  Evgenii Skrynnikov
Russian painter Evgenii Skrynnikov paints a romantic picture of his homeland in a traditional style, focusing on seasonal still lifes and the sunny countryside. The artist studied at the Gnesin Music School, the Moscow Art School and the Moscow Graphic Institute, and his work is part of several collections including the highly prestigious Pushkin Museum.
 
  Warren Stenberg
After living in Hawaii for several years, Warren Stenberg developed a body of tropical land and seascapes of the Oahu shores and Kuaii Beaches, to add to his collection of light and lively French and American landscapes. “It is not so much what is seen, but more the passion felt.” Stenberg studied art at the University of Hawaii and the Honolulu Academy of Art.

 
  Lorna Ritz
Lorna Ritz’s new paintings on canvas and paper continue the artist’s masterful use of color, paint and keen observation of natural light. Her diverse portfolio of landscapes and colorful impressions of light record inevitable changes in nature at their most vibrant point. Ritz studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and has exhibited prolifically throughout Massachusetts.

 
  Mary Atkinson
Popular PaintingsDIRECT artist Mary Atkinson has added a new series to her portfolio titled Surrender, in which various situations of vulnerability and freedom are depicted in an environment that is more fantasy than reality. The artist’s expressionist paintings have consistently taken on the larger subjects of life and rendered them in a beautiful earthy and moody palette.

 
  Fan Chang Jiang
Shanghai-based painter Fan Chang Jiang has two distinct artistic styles. His impressionist work employs a pointillist technique whereby the subject is comprised of small dots of paint instead of a more traditional brushstroke. The artist’s tropical paintings are bold and intense, with palm trees depicted up close in broad bands of strong color. Jiang studied formally in China, and has exhibited his work in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Jiu Zhou City, China.
