The value of simplicity is sometimes overlooked.  Too often we forget to take time to enjoy the simple things in everyday life, like a single delicate bloom or the vibrant color of juicy oranges sitting on the counter.

If you are yearning for freedom from the complexities in your life, don’t miss Marlene Kort’s pastel collection at Hunter-Wolff Gallery, which reminds viewers of the beauty in simplicity around us. Her paintings trigger cherished forgotten memories and show us how much beauty and purity surrounds us.  In a hectic world that seems to move faster than ever before and seems to be getting more complicated, Marlene Kort’s vibrant pastels are a welcomed escape.  She presents real day-to-day life occurrences and objects in terms that are easy to appreciate and understand. Her paintings give us the opportunity for a temporary leave of absence from our chaotic and stressful world.  Artists talk about creating an emotional connection through their art, but Marlene makes it happen and she communicates a positive energy in her paintings that can be appreciated every day (without adding more complexity to your life).

If you can’t take a much needed respite because life’s demands are relentless, consider adding peaceful paintings to your home so you can give yourself a mini-vacation when you glance at your walls as you rush through your busy day. You deserve it!

Window Treatment, Marlene Kort

We can look inward and outward and examine various aspects of ourselves, but with art we can find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Music, dance and visual arts have that affect especially when we take time to open our ears, eyes and heart.

When I look at this 14 x 11 pastel by Marlene Kort, “Window Treatment” I imagine myself visiting a small village in Europe where people are friendly, the streets are narrow, and there is the pervasive scent of flowers and food—there is an abundance of well-cared for flowers overflowing window boxes and planters at the doorway to greet visitors.  It is easy to feel welcomed with that sort of greeting. I like being here.

Where does this painting take you?

Red Explosion by Marlene Kort

Following an artist’s career can be like watching children grow-up. When they do something new, totally unexpected, and done very well, it can be a very happy occasion.  One of my favorite arists at Hunter-Wolff Gallery is a very fine pastel artist, Marlene Kort.  Marlene has a wonderful style that is easy to look at, captures the essence of her subject matter and more times than not–evokes an emotional response.  There are too many of her paintings that “got away” before I could get the money on the table and I couldn’t let that happen again when she presented Red Explosion – a new and totally unexpected style.

Marlene stepped out of her comfort zone with pastel and created a wonderful still-life oil painting that I am proud to own.  The right thing may have been to give customers at Hunter-Wolff Gallery the chance to grab this beautiful painting, but I could not pass it up.  I’m hoping she will do more oils in this style and give collectors a chance to enjoy her wonderful style, like I enjoy looking at Red Explosion every day on my living room wall.

What do you think?  Doesn’t this work put a smile on your face and make you feel like you stumbled onto something really special?
