About the Item
Any novelist battling through writer’s block might be excited to encounter Dante Rondo, whose life has been a collage of free-spirited experiences that would satisfy the most vicarious of dreamers. As he approaches his 70th birthday, Rondo is an artist, a teacher, a surfer, and a globetrotter. His bohemian appetite and artistic instincts have taken him to Hawaii, Fiji, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark – sometimes for months at a time – but have always brought him back to the Monterey Peninsula to paint and teach.
“I think some artists are content to find a formula – a type of art that sells – and do that forever, and I pass no judgment on that: If they’ve found something they love doing that also has commercial appeal, that’s great,” said the artist, who
works in oils, acrylics, pastels, and watercolors, specializing in brilliantly colored florals, landscapes, seascapes, figures, and nonobjective abstracts.
“But as I approach 70, I still feel like a creative kid in a candy store. I want to try this ... I want to try that ... and I also returned to styles I’ve worked with over the past 30 years or so,” Rondo said. “Maybe I’m finally starting to mature as an
artist.”
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.

Words:
Now I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together so now he is a legend when he would have preffered to be a man.
the Children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen out world through their eyes they restore my faith in the familys future
One must not let oneself b overwhelmed by sadness

Quotes within painting:
"A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
Do you have to have a reason for loving?
It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
I leave before being left. I decide.
I left a world in which I was a queen to enter one in which I'm a human being.
I am not an actress. I can only play me - on and off the screen
Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it
My wild and free side unsettled some, and unwedged others
When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life
I never do anything by chance.
People are forever finding something wrong with you.
I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.
Success is unpredictable and fragile."
As an undergraduate Christina Major developed into a portrait painter. Major has been interested in the ways the identity of both artist and subject can coexist in a portrait. Major also has a desire to combine portrait painting with writing (inspired from her Graphic Design studies) as well as to develop methods of using paint to express a merging of herself with the individual depicted in the portrait. Her creative research focuses on the traditional form of the portrait as a powerful form of representing an individual and how meaning can be expanded through scale, brushstroke, color, texture, composition and the many variables that portraiture deals with.
Major looks to expand on the traditional portrait painting...
