Fine art portraiture, landscapes and art workshops
Landscape Paintings by Artist, Sam D'Ambruoso
The Artist's Statement: "I'm continually searching for the play of darks against lights, expressed in vivid colors all in a painterly style. From florals to portraits, the light becomes the drama, the feeling, the truth, which engages the viewer."

Sam D'Ambruoso has produced original portraits and landscape oil paintings in the plein air tradition (outdoors) as well as commissioned studio works for over thirty years. Working as a post-impressionist realist, his painterly approach to the landscape and still life draws the viewer into an environment rich in color and composition.
Sam's paintings are available on this website and on a commission basis. Most recent works include portrait, figure drawings, plein air and studio paintings inspired by New England and Italian landscapes.
Each year, we hold a summer workshops in Old Lyme, CT and Block Island, RI. This painting was done while standing in the Florence Griswold Museum Gardens in Old Lyme on a sunny, June morning. The peonies were in full bloom. The background of dark pines, other greens and the sunlit peonies in the foreground, created the dramatic patterns of this painting.

New England Barns
Older wooden barns in New England are a vanishing species giving way to more complex metal structures. I spend considerable time in the outdoors painting (or fly fishing!) and am continually attracted to the simplicity of these subjects which I try to further simplify on a two dimensional surface. Perhaps its the remembrance of simpler times that attracts me to this subject.
