Dennis
Sheehan
Dennis Sheehan lives and paints
in New Hampshire, and his pastoral paintings are reminiscent of 19th-century New
England in both style and subject. He is fascinated by the subtle tones and chords
of light on landscape during transitional moments: dusk, dawn, or the time immediately
before or after storms, when small amounts of light and color in an otherwise
somber environment produce piercingly beautiful effects. "My goal is to have
the painting emanate light," the artist explains. "This is why the areas
of shadow are so important, for it is from them that this emanation proceeds."
His attention to technique is derived from his training in the "Boston School"
of painting, which he studied at the Monserrat School of Visual Art, the Vesper
George School of Art, and under private instruction with Richard Whitney and Robert
Cormier. In addition, he studies his own extensive collection of art history books,
which comprises hundreds of volumes. | |
