Harry Orlyk is celebrated for his ability to capture rural country landscapes with Impressionistic brushstrokes and bright color palettes. Painting daily, the artist drives throughout upstate New York, stopping to observe and paint en plein air whenever and wherever a landscape strikes him.
Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947. In 1971, after graduating college, he went on to graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Over the next nine years, he was influenced by several Nebraskan artists.
"Still-life painter Robin Smith taught me how to use paint without turpentine — to paint from the tube," Orlyk has said.
Orlyk also admits the influence of photographer Lawrence McFarland, who taught him what spiritual space was and how to emphasize it. Lastly, he credits well-known Lincoln painter Keith Jacobshagen with having impressed on him the importance of routine.
Orlyk currently resides with his family in Salem, New York, near the Vermont border. For anyone raised in the country, Orlyk’s Impressionist oil paintings spark a sense of memory that is at once shared and deeply personal.
Orlyk's work evokes a return to days spent as a kid, when you played behind Old Hap’s Barn or played hide-and-seek in the cornfield. If raised in the city, his paintings illustrate what you fantasized about living in the country would be like. With each changing day and season, Orlyk reminds us of the simplistic beauty inherent in rural, small-town America.

"Sunrise, Old Farm, Rushland"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 58, plate #067. Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Joseph Barrett (1936 – ) Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf. A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes...
