In Living Color A painting by Chris Hayman from Hidell Brooks Gallery serves as a focal point above the fireplace. Based in California, Chris has been painting for more than 30 years and her work is held in many public and private collections across the country. Her 28 PEACHY abstract paintings are thickly layered with oil and she tends to always draw back into the paint to expose the many layers underneath. The painting also works as a critical piece of the interior’s color puzzle in that it contains every color of the palette.
