"I am by nature drawn to drama and have honed a lifelong habit of eavesdropping and "innocent" voyeurism. If you have seen my Italian scenes (especially in Caffé Luna) over the years and most recently my exploration of "Beach People" (for which I am grateful to have received a fair amount of publicity), the storytelling and voyeurism becomes most evident. Being part Italian, I am naturally drawn to Italian people and culture (food, wine, cafés!). Quite honestly, I have a need to relive and recreate moments in Italy. These ongoing oils bring to reality the enduring beauty and intrigue of places like: Portofino, Venice, Tuscany, Florence, Lake Como, Bellagio, Rome, and more." - Nicole White Kennedy

"Turning It Upside Down" - 96 minutes
It may sound silly, but the simple act of painting upside down (not you, the picture) allows you to focus on the most important areas in making a painting. Most of the time, getting caught up in the details of a picture restrict you from completing your art. By turning your art upside down you can paint the objects, shapes, and colors you see without the distraction of the image itself. This unorthodox style has a fun methodology and surprisingly positive results! |
