About the Item
Crash Course, Original Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting
8" x 8" (HxW) Pastel on Paper
Hand-signed by the artist.
This modern impressionist seascape features a square composition of a large rock formation at the ocean's edge. White crests of waves crash against the rocky surface, splashing down into the inner harbor along the shoreline. The square composition is balanced between the cool blue and green tones of the water and sky, and the warm browns of the jagged boulder. The sky is given more dimension with bits of the tan pastel paper peaking through, breaking up the vast blue vista.
Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
Artist Commentary:
I love the magnificent rock outcroppings along the California coast line. My five minute ‘stretch-my-legs’ Break as I made my way from Northern to Southern California turned into a 30 minute visual exploration with hundreds of photos. So worth it!

Dina Gardner
Dina Gardner has always been fascinated by how artists, whether they are painters, musicians, writers or anyone who uses their gifts of creativity, work through their creative process. She is constantly intrigued that the process is so uniquely different for every artist, regardless of their medium. Dina's process looks like this: It always starts with music, which serves to influence what happens on her canvas. At her easel, there is a lot of singing (slightly off key) and there are spontaneous dance parties (not bad for a white girl.) Her canvas is a gritty piece of paper, sometimes purchased, sometimes hand-made. With the music on, she uses a photo reference she has taken for inspiration and sketches her composition on her canvas. Sometimes, there isn't a photo reference at all but rather an idea in her head that she works from. She often starts with an underpainting, which is the first layer of a painting, using rubbing alcohol to set it permanently on her canvas. Dina's work represents the things she is most drawn to: oceans, water, skies, trees, marshes and meadows. She is an avid traveler and loves to paint a variety of subjects that catch her eye while traveling. She loves a big, bustling city and stunning architecture but she also loves being surrounded by anything that nature has to offer from a dilapidated barn, to the sun setting over the mountains or to any path that gets off the beaten path. As an artist, she is always chasing the light, finding the juxtaposition between light and shadow. Dina splits her time between Southern California, where she was born and raised, and Boston, her adoptive city of almost 35 years. Before becoming a full-time artist, Dina founded several recruiting firms, starting her first company when she was 25 years old. What she loved most about being a headhunter was actually getting the businesses off the ground. She loved the 'launching' stage, the blank canvas she was able to work with and the vision she was able to create as she then executed and put her stamp on each one. Standing at her easel gives her the opportunity to put these same skills to use every single time she creates a painting. In addition to her passion for her family, painting and traveling, her heart resides with the Pay It Forward Backpack Project, a grass-roots organization she founded in 2015. The Pay It Forward Backpack Project provides backpacks filled with winter essentials to Boston's homeless population. A percentage of proceeds from each sale of her art is donated to the Backpack Project in an effort to continue to pay it forward by helping the unhoused who often suffer from mental illness, drug and/or alcohol addiction. Dina's motto is 'Carpe Diem" and she does her best to make that happen each and every day.

- Warm Water, Framed Original Impressionist Seascape Pastel Painting on PaperBy Dina GardnerLocated in Boston, MAWarm Water, Framed Original Contemporary Impressionist Seascape Painting 12" x 24" (HxW) Pastel on Paper 15.5" x 27.5" x 1" (HxWxD) Framed Hand-signed by the artist. A soft color palette of blues, greens, and purples is used to depict the clear ocean water as it begins to curl over, cresting into a subtle wave, just enough to make a satisfying crashing sound of water-on-water. The entire artwork is overtaken by the water of the sea, with no land or sky to divert your focus from the vastness of the ocean's depths. Artist Commentary: As an artist, I just love being able to take creative license and paint what my mood dictates. The photo reference for this painting was of New England waters and the day I painted this it is was cold and rainy. I was looking for warmth, not 20 degree temps! I took out my set of pastels that remind me of warmer climates and painted this in that palette. The luminosity of pastels really comes through in this painting and just like that, I'm transported under a palm tree watching...Category
