It’s
fun to look at art and try to imagine what the artist was seeing and how it was
interpreted by his or her vision. So
much emotion can be transferred by a painting. And the varied interpretation of
the same subject matter is almost miraculous.
It is also interesting to follow the history of painters as they age and
evolve into specific styles and genres.
O-020 African Violets by Connie Romano oil 16x17 $450
Being raised in the 60 and 70s gave
my first paintings a surrealistic feel with imagined subjects. But growing up in New Mexico gave me
wonderful landscapes and colors to work with which focused my attention and
evolved my paintings into landscapes and scenery; the abstract colors created
by nature didn’t need much interpretation.
I found myself drawn to landscapes for a long time as a way of
celebrating places I had been and scenery I was captured by.
O-021 a rose by Connie Romano oil 28x22 $525
I had a short period where I was attracted to still-life’s but that didn’t last long. Plants and flowers began to fascinate me when I found the Spring Obsession Art Show at Ironstone. Painting daffodils in different ways turned into an Obsession with all types of flowers and the shadows and light reflections they produce. Sometimes the emotional aspects of the flowers create more of an abstract feel which I find fascinating.

I have always painted primarily for myself but enjoy sharing my view of the
world just as I enjoy looking into the vision of life experienced by
others.
