Neapolitans Enjoying Their Beach #1368 Print

The theme behind this painting is "us" sharing this beautiful habitat with God's other creatures who were here first. I love painting because painting is magical. It captures color and light which creates the illusion of reality. I especially love the medium of oils, the richness of color, the versatility, the spontaneity and excitement they create. My favorite subject is people, their natural grace in movement and relaxation and the universality of our shared human nature and experience.. My painting is always inspired by so many of my favorite artists that came before me as well as many of my contemporaries, across many styles, but especially Vermeer, the impressionists and post impressionists, the Nabis. This painting was inspired by the brilliant Florida light and one of the world's most beautiful beaches that I am fortunate to enjoy here in Naples. I want to share this beauty I experience and enable people to bring it into their homes. This painting was created by me using the finest archival and permanent artists' oils and materials. It is painted on wraparound canvas. It is unframed but wired for immediate hanging.
