Greensboro artist Denise Landi has a special talent for combining color, light, and perspective. She is photographed above during her show yesterday, in front of her painting of the interior of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro. Denise, originally from Mebane, NC, says she loves painting First Presbyterian because its beauty. The Gothic revival architecture resembles a European church and Denise studied art and art history in Europe. Older churches with stained glass windows bring back special memories. Her painting of Piazza del Duomo, Florence Italy (in the direction of her pointing finger), even with all of its Impressionistic brush strokes, is instantly recognizable.
Denise loves to paint en plain air, especially in the marshes near the Carolina beaches. Denise is such a talented artist and, as the above photo hints, energetic and full of life. If you want to see more of Denise's work, she has a studio at Steinberger Artist Center at 712 Summit Avenue, or can be contacted at [email protected]. Also, several of her larger paintings can be seen at Blue Denim Restaurant on Elm Street.
Very different, but I like it.
