Morning peace and serenity on placid reflections
 

Phil’s Rhode Island heritage is reflected in his painting of foliage and country scenes.

He now resides in the Northern California Foothills where he has added Gold Country, Yosemite, California and Wine Country scenes to his portfolio.

Phil enjoys capturing the essence of Italy with its architecture, colors and textures. The beauty of the Northern Italy Lake District, the charming town of Bellagio, the Tuscany and Siena countryside along with the Chianti vineyards have made a major impression on him during his visits there.

He relates to the scenes that he paints in a sensorial and spiritual way. Having walked the pathways of Tuscany, hiked the trails of Yosemite, traveled throughout The Sierra and experienced the colors of New England, he feels well equipped to depict the natural surroundings and colorful landscapes that these locales have provided him.

Influenced by the artistic talents of his mother, Phil completed automobile design, rendering and art training at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. This training in a variety of mediums such as acrylics, pastels, pencils, watercolor and oils has given him many tools with which to create art composition and creation.

Phil has received advanced art training from well known impressionists Anita Wolff and Victoria Brooks. He presently describes his work as realistic with an impressionist feeling.
