Contributed by Lawre Stone / Known for painting interior spaces and domestic objects, Polly Shindler shifts her subject to the rural Hudson Valley landscape for her exhibition “Valley Music” at Deanna Evans Projects. Images of mountains, flowers, and fields hang in sequence on the walls, like a roll of snapshots taken from the car window. Shindler’s paintings do speak to the compulsion to pull over to the side of the road, take out the phone, and hope to capture the elusive, astonishing beauty of nature. Complementing the landscapes are larger, close-up paintings combining flower heads, stems, and leaves with abstract elements. Schindler’s flowers grow from the ground, with wispy stems and simplified blooms reaching for otherworldly skies. Painting in a full Crayola color array, she plumbs the sublimeness available every day.
