A colorful expressionist painting by Pam Krimsky of women holding torches. The women are depicted in loose, vibrant brushstrokes with warm tones of orange, purple, and blue. The background is a blend of greens and yellows, enhancing the fiery glow of the torches. The figures appear to be in motion, their forms slightly blurred, conveying an energetic and emotional atmosphere.

Sadie Peterson Delaney African Roots Branch Library

A serene landscape painting by Regina Gelfer depicting a marshy area with winding water channels. The scene features soft hills in the background, partially covered with trees in shades of green, yellow, and orange. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, hinting at an impending storm. The foreground is dominated by golden grasses, with several narrow streams cutting through the marsh. The overall mood is calm yet dramatic, with rich earthy tones and textures.
