About Kinzers Glen
‘Kinzers Glen’ – The Artworks of RUSSELL RISKO. From the scenic rolling hills and valleys – to the Amish and Mennonite farms and fields, I am passionate about and inspired by the unique panoramic views of Lancaster County. I hope to capture a sense of these beautiful landscapes in my paintings.
Impressionistic Genre
‘Kinzers Glen’ is one in a series titled ‘Fields & Streams’. The series draws on the quick brush strokes and almost sketch-like style characteristics, landscapes created in the spirit of the late 19th-century French Impressionists. Employing impressionistic compositions allows me to explore subjects and environments through the use of simple line-work, bright colors and energetic brush strokes.
