I love painting umbrellas... there's something about their flowing lines that makes them fit in especially well with the waves of water scenes. What I liked most about this subject was the way the colors complimented one another. There's just a hint of purple near the yellow of the umbrella, then greens near the yellow, pinks & reds near the greens, & warm sand with some blues & oranges. beach art

"Inspiration" by Jack Providenti

Here is a painting with an unusual story. I was painting on the beach when a professional photographer happened to be there, he took a picture of me painting at sunset, and sent it to me. I liked it so much that I began to use it as my profile photo on Facebook. A very talented and professional artist, Christine Sargent, was inspired by it and commissioned me to do a painting of the photo. I was grateful for the "inspiration"!

Emerald Morning, Sunset Beach

"An Emerald Morning, Sunset Beach"
plein air painting
11 x 14 inches
oil on canvas

Strong shadows, soft greens and blues with calm waters on the Gulf Of Mexico. This is a somewhat re-worked version of a plein air painting which had not been completed until now. Painting on site challenges the painter to not waste brush strokes, as the light changes quickly. After a composition is decided upon, the focus is to define the dark shapes which create the shadows. Back in the studio, I added some depth & interest by adding complimentary colors.

In Bhagawat Gita Lord Krishna said " There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down, and the Vedic hymns are its leaves. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas."

One of the experiences that impressed me on my last camping trip to the Grand Canyon was the incredible expanse of pastel shades in the early morning. This is one of the paintings that resulted from that trip. The challenge was to portray the rugged canyon softly ....the way it looked to me on that morning.

The snow drifts are complimented by the stark contrasts created by the glaring winter sunlight pouring into the mountain forest. This painting is an expanded version of the 8 x 10 inch "Snow Drifts...A Study", which I painted a while ago.

I Painted most of this during an incredible snow storm up here the mountains of the Cibola National Forest ( New Mexico) where it's 8500 ft above sea level. The work was done inside a camper that I converted into an art studio.....I was really "in" the storm! I was dressed for the outdoors while doing it, as the old camper did not provide adequate heat.  I like to think that the sense of the experience is communicated in the painting.

The sun broke through an area of the thick mountain woods. The light shed kind of an eerie cast where it was nearly absent. I caught the scene with my camera and thought it would make an enchanting depiction of the way light plays with shadows in the mountain forest.

Following a light, fresh, light snow, the schoolhouse appeared to be "decorated in winter'. While painting it I experienced a long lost feeling... I had a desire to go to school!

The Fall season has arrived in the mountains... the night frost melting with the rising sun creates a kind of magical atmosphere. I took several photos of a misty morning and painted this scene. I hope it communicates the mystical kind of feeling that can be experienced in the forest. If you would like more information about this painting, or note cards of it, please send me an e-mail .
