This painting is based on an image from the 1300’s. A medieval manuscript, I think it was Bathsheba. Mine turned into a woman trying to wash away her troubles, her pain and clean her soul. —— Forgiveness 2018 oil on canvas 80cm x 60cm. —— #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #painting #pittura #dipinto #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #modernart #artecontemporanea #artecontemporaneo #arteitaliana #arte #artcontemporain #kunst #canadianart #torontoart #hamont #landscape #landscapepainting #portrait #arthistory #bathers #baptism #swimming #river #forgiveness #bathsheba #cleansing
For me a painting is a portal into myself, a way to see and feel something in myself I haven’t experienced before. I remember the first time I saw a work by Dali in an encyclopedia when I was 14 or 15 years old. Incredible strangeness and familiarity. I never saw anything like it. It hit me in the gut somewhere. —– Temporary Triptych-The Encounter 2018 oil on canvas 80cm x 60cm each. —– #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #painting #pittura #dipinto #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #modernart #arte #artecontemporaneo #artecontemporanea #arteitaliana #artcontemporain #kunst #hamont #canadianart #torontoart #instaart #triptych #arthistory #landscapepainting #mothernature #oldmasters #mythology #forest #nature #goddess

“At present I absolutely want to paint a starry sky. It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance.” - Van Gogh . I’ve been trying to use a greater variety of colors to paint my night skies, but never considered the different colors of the stars . .

Sometimes you can’t tell from a time-lapse video that I paint every point of light (city lights and stars) purposefully. I do this mostly to balance the composition. This can be very time consuming, but I believe the end result is worth it! With this painting, I also tried to convey a sense of motion with the clouds. What do you all think? .

“Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.” -Albert Einstein. A lot of you send me pictures and posts of your own art inspired by mine. And although I don’t get to reply to everything, I just want to say that I really appreciate it! Also I bookmark everything and keep it as a reminder that what I’m doing is at least inspiring others. Thank you all! . . . .

Hey guys, I just wanted to show you different tools that I use to create my art. Usually the results with gouache aren’t as bright as I would like them to be so this time I opted to use white ink on the city lights and stars! What do you guys? . .

I had to varnish this painting before it was shipped, and because it’s become kind of my Instagram tradition to film my varnishing process, here it is for all of you to see! Should I keep making varnishing videos? . Anyways thanks for all the love and helping me reach 21k followers .

Very honored to find that my piece “Near the Top” was juried into the Masters Division awards category at the Central Adirondack Art Show at View in Old Forge, NY. I was unable to attend the reception last week (shakes fist at covid), but the exhibit is now viewable online and in person through June 5th. Many many exceptional pieces on display, be sure to check it out!
Beautiful overcast day at the beach, perfect for #pleinair painting. I’ve been working like crazy all week to finish this cosplay, so I’m glad I was able to take a break and get back to some painting. . . . #paintingfromlife #illustration #gouache #colorstudy #watercolor #painting #study #artist #watermedia #beach #landscapepainting #landscape #panorama #panoramapainting #impressionism #colortheory
