The focal point of this oil painting is a fig, depicted with a mastery of light and colour that highlights the fruit's plumpness. The purple fig is placed on a striped tablecloth with hues of grey-blue, yellow-green, and grey-white. To create a more harmonious composition with the purple fig, the artist has added touches of orange-pink to the tablecloth. These strokes bring a vibrant and cohesive balance to the overall colour scheme, making the painting both lively and harmonious. Jeannie Kinsler...

This painting features a creamy white enamel jug and white hybrid cherries, accented with yellow-green leaves. The perspective is a top-down view, with the background in shades of blue-grey and dark grey.

20 x 16 x 1.5 inches oil on canvas Painted with the exactness of a still life photograph, this hard edge realist painting by artist Frank DiPetiro of Lotus leaves and buds about to bloom glows with green luminescence against a pale gray background. Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are uti-lized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting. About the artist: Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting.

In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
