    Are you interested in abstraction but nobody ever explained it? Always a bit confused by the ideas? Larry can help.

    I have never experienced such a class.

    Larry encourages depth. Larry gives his all as he helps artists delve into a personal journey. He helps them  to discover their own visual language.

    Joseph Lombardo- "oil"August-3th to 7th 790$

    Joe's Philosophy

    Joe's Philosophy

    Joe's Philosophy

    Joseph Lombardo is inspired by color, light, and landscape. Lombardo paints  quickly without fuss using the direct, also known as alla prima, painting  technique. He works on-site to finish a painting in one session. Each work is an  improvisational performance. 

    Joe's Philosophy

    Joe's Philosophy

    Lombardo paints from  general to specific and from carefree to careful. The hardest part is knowing  when to stop. Lombardo uses rapid and expressive mark-making to create an  interesting and dynamic paint surface while at the same time evoking the space,  atmosphere, and mood of a landscape.

    Joe is amazing!!

    My painting process is deeply influenced by my environment -the weather, the season, and the immediate surroundings. The transient nature  of the world compels me to observe closely and make decisive artistic choices. Simultaneously,  it encourages me to explore the tactile qualities of paint , the feel of the palette knife and brush and experiment with various tools that enliven and energize the painted surface.
