The previous similar picture was a small study for this painting. Often when I am about to paint a composition with several figures on a large canvas I make preliminary studies. In this case I might paint this even larger one day, I found the canvas size still too small and limiting. In the sketch the composition was established. The group of young men and their dog is a compact one. They form a triangular composition and the shadows behind the man with a red jacket are bleeding on the right while the action is going on the left. The dog turning towards its masters is forming a sort of parentheses closing the left. The semi circle of the stones bench is following the same flow while the cement on the right forms a semi circle resonating on the right with the dog's. Long verticals in the background stabilize the picture, The colors are warm and attractive. Notes of pure red are sowed around the canvas and resonate with the red jacket. The scene is interesting even in the corners and will grow on the viewer. An everyday banal event has turned into a work of art.

This beautiful landscape is a common occurrence in the state of California. Here the mustard is in full bloom. That day when you looked at the yellow flowers, the colors were so intense, that it seem like some sort of unreal almost other worldly landscape. With so much yellow in my vision all other things such as trees, shadows and everything on the horizon seemed purple. I tried to render this feeling in the landscape and it almost became something else. I just trust my intuition in such cases. I was successful i think in rendering this sort of vision.

My daughter and I went bird watching by the creek. We saw some amazing wild turkeys and much more. But since everything to me is an endless succession of paintings, I had to come back and paint this scene. There are times when I have started a painting with an end in mind, but then, for one reason or another, as my picture unfolds, it positively suggested another direction... I always accept the risk and go for it. I'm convinced that at such times my hand is wiser than I am. In this case my ordinary landscape became a field of brush strokes harmonized with palette knife gestures. I set out to render a mood and an impression. It seemed clearly impossible to really marry my figure with the rest of the landscape and the creek colors with the background. But despite the fact that paint isn’t magic it became easy to play my colors like a musical instrument and I am happy with the result,

3 young men are going for a surfing experience on a beautiful morning on one of those dream islands....
The sky is a bit foggy giving a soft and yellow light.
The sun is strong behind this morning fog. It is hot already.
This painting is executed with both a brush and a palette knife in a very impressionistic way. I wanted to be as spontaneous as those waves and as mellow as this special light. The figures are merged into the seascape and they form one subject, one piece of art and one song.

Farmer's market- selling vegetables

noreply@blogger.com (Dominique Amendola) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:37:00 +0000

Painting A Day: Original oil on canvas

gallery wrap canvas with black and gold floater frame
Price: $450.00
Status: Available

There are places were the farmer's market goes on year around. The choice of vegetables is restricted in Winter but at least it is in season. In this painting i combined 2 sketches together to make an interesting scene. The woman is anxiously looking at the man's fumbling for his change. Some attractive yellow orange pumpkins on the side resonate with the man's bright yellow jacket. The purple jacket of the other man offers a contract like a vibration in the middle of a symphony. The background is non descript with a few shadows milling around. The merchant has his back to us and is just a looming figure with no face. This is the art of creating an interesting scene out of a very ordinary setting.
And remember: " Art is the best asset class right now"

This piece is painted from the live model. Right now I am exploring with very loose brush strokes. The real essence of painting is the relationship between shapes, tones, colors, textures, edges, and line. Everything else follows-including light, form, concepts. My trend is finding a poetry in figures in their ordinary life setting.

This is painted from the live model. The composition and colors are unusual in this painting. It gives a strong effect actually detracting from the figure which is strong anyway. I did not want the piece to look like a portrait but more like an interesting unsettling painting.

This is an original, not a print by Dominique Amendola.The painting is signed in front. Dominique has many paintings hanging in private museums in the US as well as in castles in France.

This work was painted from the model. You can see the detail of the face on the top image. Actually when you click on any pictures on this blog you get a larger view of it.
I am not focusing on this painting as a portrait but instead i am trying to capture the mood and character of my model. Again the style is fluid and carefree.

Another water lillie painting was in order since the first one sold. Water lillies have the advantage to be both water and plants and flowers. the water and sky have neither beginning nor end. This can be a refuge for a peaceful meditation.
