About the Item
Italian Sunshine, Original Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting
8" x 8" (HxW) Pastel on Paper
Hand-signed by the artist.
A golden field of grain shines brightly in the foreground of this square pastel work by artist Dina Gardner. The piece is similar to Wheat Fields with a Reaper by Vincent Van Gogh, both with its color palette of yellows, blues, and greens, its subject matter of a landscape dominated by wheat, and its compositional structure. In Gardner's piece, a red-roofed Italian villa sits against a clear blue sky, overlooking the yellow fields.
Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
Artist Commentary:
Don't you just love Italy? It is a country that constantly surprises and amazes me. When my kids were 8 and 5 we took a month off and traveled from Northern Italy to the Amalfi Coast. To say that we had daily adventures would be an understatement. I recently looked at photos from the trip and remembered the site of this photo so vividly. We came around a bend in the road and were greeted by the most gorgeous field of yellow flowers. I dubbed it Italian Sunshine.

Dina Gardner
Dina Gardner has always been fascinated by how artists, whether they are painters, musicians, writers or anyone who uses their gifts of creativity, work through their creative process. She is constantly intrigued that the process is so uniquely different for every artist, regardless of their medium. Dina's process looks like this: It always starts with music, which serves to influence what happens on her canvas. At her easel, there is a lot of singing (slightly off key) and there are spontaneous dance parties (not bad for a white girl.) Her canvas is a gritty piece of paper, sometimes purchased, sometimes hand-made. With the music on, she uses a photo reference she has taken for inspiration and sketches her composition on her canvas. Sometimes, there isn't a photo reference at all but rather an idea in her head that she works from. She often starts with an underpainting, which is the first layer of a painting, using rubbing alcohol to set it permanently on her canvas. Dina's work represents the things she is most drawn to: oceans, water, skies, trees, marshes and meadows. She is an avid traveler and loves to paint a variety of subjects that catch her eye while traveling. She loves a big, bustling city and stunning architecture but she also loves being surrounded by anything that nature has to offer from a dilapidated barn, to the sun setting over the mountains or to any path that gets off the beaten path. As an artist, she is always chasing the light, finding the juxtaposition between light and shadow. Dina splits her time between Southern California, where she was born and raised, and Boston, her adoptive city of almost 35 years. Before becoming a full-time artist, Dina founded several recruiting firms, starting her first company when she was 25 years old. What she loved most about being a headhunter was actually getting the businesses off the ground. She loved the 'launching' stage, the blank canvas she was able to work with and the vision she was able to create as she then executed and put her stamp on each one. Standing at her easel gives her the opportunity to put these same skills to use every single time she creates a painting. In addition to her passion for her family, painting and traveling, her heart resides with the Pay It Forward Backpack Project, a grass-roots organization she founded in 2015. The Pay It Forward Backpack Project provides backpacks filled with winter essentials to Boston's homeless population. A percentage of proceeds from each sale of her art is donated to the Backpack Project in an effort to continue to pay it forward by helping the unhoused who often suffer from mental illness, drug and/or alcohol addiction. Dina's motto is 'Carpe Diem" and she does her best to make that happen each and every day.
