Specialty Categories
Painting/Drawing - Wildlife/Birds
"Tigers"
oil on canvas 40x30x1, $4900 This is one of my favorite paintings. Tigers have always been a fascination of mine! |
"Grey Heron in Hunt"
oil on canvas 26x23x1, $1500 Living in Florida there are grey herons everywhere. One of these beautiful birds in my backyard beckoned me to paint it! |
"Silent Warrior"
oil on canvas 28x38x1, $4900 The Panther is an incredibly intelligent and agile animal that is very seldom seen by people in the wild as they are generally very quiet and cautious animals. |
Painting/Drawing - Western
"A Cowboy's Song"
oil on canvas 24x30x1, $2900 I couldn't resist creating a composition of my custom made ostrich-skinned boots, my guitar, sheet music and my western hat. Creating elevations in perspective using color portrays the painting in dramatic realism. The red guitar brings liveliness to the composition. |
"After the Ride"
oil on canvas 24x18x1, $1900 After a joyous day of riding, the boots rest in tranquil retreat amidst the barn's other essentials: a lantern, ropes, and of course, a hat! I love creating paintings where I give the viewer such a sense of realism, it begs to be touched! |
"After the Trek"
oil on canvas 36x18x1, $4900 Being an avid hiker, I couldn't resist creating a still life of my boots! I feel like it's one of my best works and I've won many awards with this piece. With the details I've added and the light and shadows I've created, the boots look like you could actually touch them! This painting would definitely be a conversation piece in any room! |
Painting/Drawing - Nautical
"The Boatyard"
oil on canvas 30x30, $1500 Upon passing a boatyard in the Caribbean I was captivated by the mass of colors and the drama made by the sunlight and shadows. This painting will add excitement no matter where it is placed. |
"Sunfish"
oil on canvas 43x28, $1900 The sunfish placed as they were in random positions created a fascinating dance of light and shadows. The placement was an accidental creation of fine art. It will bring sunlight and color to a room wherever it is placed. |
"Shade by Seaside"
oil on canvas 30x43x1, $2900 This piece was inspired by my many trips to the Caribbean. |
Artist Statement
Renee C. DiNapoli, award-winning, professional artist/instructor and former art instructor at Ringling School of Art & Design is noted for her contemporary florals and interior beachfront realism. Renee’s striking oil paintings have received critical acclaim for their high contrast, unusually intense use of color and exquisite detail. Her ability to achieve both impact and delicacy in her paintings attests to her 41 years of training with an Italian master and her graduate study at The Red Mountain Institute of Art in Mountain Brook, AL. She also trained at the Louvre in Paris, France.
Having traveled frequently to the Caribbean, she succeeds in imparting a sense of place and mood. Renee’s perspective of the outdoor seaside viewed uniquely from inside gives the viewer a feeling of presence in the scene. Her large floral paintings set her apart from other artists in her contemporary presentation. Oil is Renee’s medium of choice because she can control it and use it best to create the effect of light on her subjects. Her goal is to create beautiful images that glow with light.
