Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Caryl Roberts
Caryl Roberts adds a new group of nudes to her figurative portfolio. Created using her trademark technique of accumulated brushstrokes, Roberts’ blurred imagery lends an ethereal immortality to the figures in each piece. “It is for the viewer to glimpse the realization in the defined and sometimes undefined forms.” Caryl Roberts studied at Columbia University and La Sorbonne in Paris, and has been exhibiting her work for over 25 years.
 
  Rosalind Tobias
Rosalyn Tobias departs from her traditional impressionist landscapes to explore the genre of still life, yet her fascination with light remains intact. The lamp is the artist’s subject of choice. She focuses on the subtle differences between natural and synthetic light, depicting lamp and its illuminated subjects--bathed in the yellow glow of the light bulb. Tobias received her MA from New York University and graduated from Radcliffe.
 
  Margaret Lynch Nakache
Margaret Lynch Nakache’s portfolio consists of bright floral still-lifes and lush landscapes that are soft on the eye. The artist’s versatile style allows her to create surreal, realistic and impressionist paintings. Nakache studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris and has exhibited her work throughout Massachusetts. Her work belongs to several public collections including Georgetown University Hospital and the Lebanese Embassy.

 
  Matthew Whitford
The human body also captures the attention of Matthew Whitford, an artist from Georgia. Meticulously rendered in charcoal and chalk, Whitford’s figure studies are tranquil and unassuming observations of the body. “The contours and shapes of the body can come together in a drawing to create something that is beautiful, sensitive and moving.” Whitford studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology and received his BFA from the University of Georgia.FONT>
 
  Roger-Bernard
French painter Roger-Bernard works from life. His interiors, figurative works and seascapes portray intimate scenes of life in the South of France. The artist also completed a series of pastoral landscapes, inspired by the hills of Provence, which document the seasonal change of this gorgeous countryside.

 
  Kriklovensky
Mystical landscapes and playful narrative scenes describe the portfolio of Russian painter Kriklovensky. Skewed aerial perspectives in works like Sidorov & Co. give the works an air of fantasy, while the artist’s realistic palette provides a sense of the uncanny. Kriklovensky is part of the Moscow Union of Artists, and his works belong to several national museum collections including that of the Pushkin.
