Dan Simoneau
All of the beauty in the world that is overlooked or taken for granted because life moves so fast today inspires me.
Most importantly, the effect of light on objects and atmosphere inspires me. I appear to paint many subjects but the main subject in all of my paintings is light and its effect on the objects in the painting. With respect to influences, I would have to say that the realists and photo/super realists inspire me. I have done abstract work in the past but I prefer being able to capture the essence of my subject matter as truthfully as possible. While my work may look photographic, close inspection show that I do paint in a rather loose manner with larger size brushes.
