“Flower Cottage Truro”, 2020 Plein Air Oil on canvas 11 x 14 inches – by Robert Abele

Description

“Flower Cottage Truro” oil on canvas board 11×14 original painting. This is a painting of the flower cottage Arbutus located on Route 6A Truro MA. This cottage is located on the opposite side of the road & is larger than the other cottages. I was inspired by how it is set back off the road on its own & how the gentle lavender shadows were draped across the side.

My name is Robert Abele, I am a Fine Artist living in the South Coast of Massachusetts for the past 10 years. I was raised in New York and received my BFA at the School of Visual Arts in 1993. From 1990-2011 I was a student at the acclaimed Art Students League before leaving NYC to Dartmouth in 2011 to reside and raise a family with my wife and 2 children. I have an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. My art practice is informed and inspired by the architecture and surrounding landscape of the New England coastline. I walk in the footsteps of past artist’s like Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer and Edwin Dickenson; all of whom who have been a great influence on my work. 

 I use traditional materials to create my work that have remained unchanged to artists for centuries. Most of my paintings are done in oil on canvas but often I use watercolor to work out complex compositions before committing to my final work. Drawing is an important element of my art practice and a continued passion of mine. I seldom share my drawings but sometimes include preliminary sketches with my paintings because they reveal insight into my process and a greater connection to my work for the patron.

 Many of my clients are repeat customers, adding paintings to their growing collections and curating the work in their homes. Hanging a work of art in your home is equal to buying a beautiful pair of earrings for yourself, it frames your face adding a note of striking beauty to your presence. This is what happens to a wall in your home when the right image is placed there.
