Eleanor Ray at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery

Eleanor Ray’s sunny Texas, Wyoming and Utah landscapes at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery are an enticing alternative to dreary mid-winter New York City.  Despite their size (c. 6.5 inches high), the tiny oil paintings communicate wide open spaces suffused with light;  here in ‘Wyoming Window,’ the silhouette of a window next to a view from another window turns the sun into an almost tangible presence in the room.  (On view on the Lower East Side through Feb 10th).
