About Me
- Julio Rodrigues
- Julio Rodrigues was born in Portugal and emigrated to the United States (New Jersey) in 1978. After a career in the engineering field, watercolor painting is his favorite hobby. He is a self-taught artist who likes to work primarily with transparent watercolor due to the freshness and luminosity of the medium. He also works with pen and ink, and pencil, sometimes combining these media. His favorite subjects are buildings and townscapes of historical interest. In his watercolor paintings, he strives for transparency and strong light and shadow contrasts with as few layers of paint as possible. His greatest challenge is to arrive at just the right amount of detail without overworking the painting. Exhibitions and Awards: 2020 Best Overall Artwork Award, Forks Area Art Society, Easton, Pennsylvania, May 2020; 2017 The Gallery at St. John’s, Easton PA, solo exhibition, Easton: Watercolors And Other Thoughts; 2008 Second place plus Honorable mention, Fur Fin and Feather Festival, Middleton TN; 2007 Burch Library, solo exhibition Collierville TN; 2004 Selected artist, Fedex Forum Permanent Lobby Mural, (Memphis, TN);
Another nice painting. I like the range of values and as always, your handling of the shadows.
ReplyDeleteI have your church painting in our kitchen/dining room for all to see and it recieves a lot of attention and praise. (When that becomes more than my paintings in the same room I will have to move it to the closet!!)
Thanks Bill. That was a fun project and I got a great deal out of it. Namely, a great Renzulli original now brightening my home.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, strong painting. I especially admire it as I tried a similarly horizontal composition recently and couldn't pull it off!! Your forsythia is wonderful, pushing through the fence.
