Art by Andrea Surace

I've always been involved in music somehow and used instruments or my voice as my creative expression. In 2007, I found myself without any guitar at my disposal. I picked up a paint brush and started painting. From that first Apple painting, I discovered that I had the ability to draw and paint. This blog shows my progress and growth since 2007. Enjoy! Favorite Artists: Andrew Wyeth, Georgia O'Keeffe, Salvidor Dali, Raphael, Manet, Dega, Beatrix Potter.

The Lionfish


This is the Lionfish painting. This was probably the second most time intensive piece of work I've done (1st being the Harnett drawing). I really wanted to get the bright colors of the red and orange to stand out, but it needed to have a darkness to it too in order to have depth. I played a lot with Burnt umber to give shadow to the fins. In person the painting takes on a vibrant lively quality.
