Dorothy Siclare Fine Art |

I paint to share the unexpected beauty that I discover in people, places and objects. I am passionate about my subjects and believe that a touch of my own spirit is reflected in my work. My hope is to attact you with compositions that evoke strong feelings in you. Accurate drawing skills, sound painting techniques, and strong compositions are the foundation of my paintings. I create an under painting in browns to obtain a realistic drawing with strong value and contrast. I then create a painting surface that, when viewed from a distance, results in realistic imagery and color. Although realistic depictions are my main goal, it is also important that the subject painted feels like I have captured its soul. As an artist, I want to share my vision and passion with those who appreciate the beauty and inspiration that art can achieve.
