Condo Garden, Wallingford, Connecticut by

I found discarded chairs on the side of the road…and shoved as many as I could into my car….took them home, sanded, repaired and painted….planted my favorite flowers…and the next thing I knew…I had a little summer business
going on…FUN!

About Cathy Amendola

My painting style is described as, Classical Academic painting in oils, in the Italian Renaissance Manner …I incorporates elements into my paintings like that of the old Masters. (I use a graph on my reference and canvas,
then a charcoal sketch on the canvas, step #2 an underpainting and finally an oil painting) I hope you enjoy my work, and thank you for your visit…
