Fisherman and his boat


Copyright by Dominique Amendola

There is a certain romanticism in fishermen and old boats, at least in the mind of those who do not have to go fishing for their daily sustenance. The waters of the river are calm, the man just went to gather some grass for his cows on his boat on the other side of the river, It is late afternoon and the light at this time is extraordinary and almost mystical. This is life in certain parts of India. In this piece I went a bit beyond realism by stylizing the design of the picture. I also focused on the colors and it come out almost like a japanese print. I call this style, contemporary and post impressionism, used extensively by our friend Van Gogh, the master artist.

Bathing in the holy river


Copyright by Dominique Amendola


To see a larger picture, click on the image.

For millenniums bathing in the holy river has been the duty of every faithful believer in India. Three ladies are taking bath in the evening. A sense of infinity is acquired by this picture with no beginning and no end. The waters are only evoked, the horizon has no limits and the painting gives a sense that the river might have a bank towards the viewer, but no end is visible on the other side.

Mulki: Cottage on the river, landscape, India, tropics

To see a larger picture, click on the image.

This painting was painted in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is on the banks of Shambhavi River. I am traveling in South india at the moment and just visited the beautiful surfing ashrama in Mulki. I found an ashram located in a city called Mulki which is run by a San Diego couple. You can visit their site at Surfing India. I went on a boat trip and the river had beautiful exotic sites. This particular cottage reflecting in the water is extremely colorful. The coconut trees are being cultivated in the area. Local fishermen abound too. I might paint one of them next time.

After the harvest, landscape, fall, New england, by Dominique Amendola


Copyright by Dominique Amendola


This is painted in New England just at the end of August, beginning of September when the corn harvest is over. The colors at that time are stunning. In this piece the day is ending and a long shadow extends on the field while the rest of the landscape illuminated by the sun shines gloriously.

Girl in red velvet


Copyright by Dominique Amendola


Painting executed from the live model. I paint from the model regularly. Today's pose is executed loosely. The painting expresses feeling rather than technique, which is achieved through intuition. It is an exploration of expressive brush strokes, where I am not trying to paint a pretty picture but rather capture the soul of my subject.

Bus stop
