DeLaine M. Klar
Life experiences that have left a mark on me influence my creativity. My favorite themes are moments in time, usually including people or animals. Subjects or scenarios from the news have also inspired some of my work. Although I paint for fun, it gives me joy knowing when my paintings have struck a chord with others.
These images all began from personal photos. I started each painting in grayscale, then began adding color and stopped when the painting best captured the story I wanted to convey. My goal as an artist is to paint subjects that resonate with me and to push myself into new territories by exploring different painting techniques and materials.
DENNIS O'MARA
When you travel or just go about your daily lives, there are always things that make us stop and look.
It may be a landscape set against an amazing sky, or a group of people going about their lives in an interesting location. A figure in a great pose with the light hitting them just right. These are the things I choose to paint. When you look at my paintings I hope it takes you to a place that would make you too, stop and look.
