Wisconsin artist Rebecca Korth hopes to bring “levity and happiness into people’s lives” through her brightly colored paintings, she wrote in an email.
In her still-life painting “Bluebird, Barletts & Cara Caras,” Korth features the quintessential harbinger of happiness, an Eastern bluebird. The picture is full of uplifting color: vibrant oranges, and blues that seem to sing together with the chartreuse of the pears. Korth’s bluebird perches tentatively on a pile of Cara Cara navel oranges along with a Bartlett pear in her mother’s crystal cut-glass bowl.
