Can you hear me now?

(C) 2018 Dale DiMauro

Recently, I finally finished this painting. It was inspired from a local paddle on a glorious day. The vivid colors and sharp reflections captivated my imagination and they do to this very moment.

It was begun a few years ago on a Saunders watercolor block and developed rapidly. However, as in life, there were other demands which pulled me away.

When returning to this painting I realized that I am a different painter today. I feel it is important to have the ability to return to a painting and carry on so that it is not frozen in time or left unfinished. 

Since I started this painting my artistic skills have expanded greatly from acquiring increased knowledge and use of pigments to simplifying my compositions. In addition, my brush handling and drawing abilities have improved. 

It is not my intention to drone on about my abilities but this realization came to the surface when returning to this watercolor. May all artists have a such a meaningful moment in their journey.
