Parma, Oil on Linen, 22"x24"

"My artwork is best described as atmospheric representationalism. Still life, figures in landscape and portraits are my preferred subject matter.

My influences are mostly sixteenth and seventeenth century Italian and Spanish painters; I am perhaps most informed by the use of oil paint as an expressive medium by the Venetian artists of the sixteenth century."  - Paul DuSold

Paul brings some of his students into the museum to explain the way light and shadow create depth and shape in the paintings featured in our Pennsylvania Impressionism and Landscape exhibition.

Demonstrations will be given in oils, but students are welcome to work in other media as well. Emphasis will be on painting quickly and expressively.
