once beautiful place.
“Masinia", another large canvas, is a view of the end of a room and a draped window and sill. It is light tan with the outside showing a smoke stack, a few trees and buildings. Curves and vertical lines define the space. Although there is little suggestion of sunlight, this cool picture is subtlely executed, so that one looks for indications of colors and contrasts that make it beautiful. One can imagine .Mr. Hennessey these days hacking away from abstraction.
Most of the paintings in the show are the work of Sharon Yates. Her pictures are in the collections of a myriad of art patrons throughout the United States. All in this exhibit are oils on paper mounted on masonite.
Seven are flower paintings of peonies. Ten are .of cows. Three are landscapes and horses. Her works are small, about 12 by 9 inches, mounted in small frames outlined in black.
While the animals loom large in these modestly sized pictures, they are located in landscapes of farms, woods and meadows. They are strikingly painted with thick palette-knife-like applied colors. Details stand out and the individuality of each animal or bouquet of flowers is manifest.
There is at once a directness. simplicity and conviction in each scene. The pictures of peonies are pink, white, blue and crimson amid much green. The color schemes of the farm animals differ markedly as the subjects would suggest.
The corporeality of the figures is rendered with much angularity — as milk cows often appear. These dramatic jewels will appeal to many viewers and seem to me unforgettable. I believe I would always recogiiize a painting bySharon Yates.
