Come enjoy the wonderful work of Elaine Hertel. Elaine learned early on not to let the glare of museum lights obscure difference between trend and fad. Instead, she found a new version re-inventing the familiar subjects with a new vocabulary of dense colors. Her palette of reds, oranges and blacks lends the painting elegance, while the forms of rooster combs carried by the flamboyant figures give her paintings a sophisticated rhythm.
