One look at Diane Romanello’s seaside paintings and you’d be hard-pressed to correctly identify the modern artist’s birthplace. She’s certainly one native New Yorker who can capture an ocean sunset and present it with a hefty dose of romantic realism. Of course dream-inducing seaside vistas are not the only ones Romanello has painted over the years. Her true-to-life paintings have also featured such coveted, tranquil places as country roads, rivers, gardens and lakes. Here’s a look at several of her paintings that are suitable for decorating a beach house:
One serenity inspiring painting to hang on your beach house’s wall is Twilight Time. It features sand dunes, a wooden boardwalk and a romantic view of the ocean. Because of the cool toned colors used throughout the painting, it would look lovely on a navy blue or gray display wall. You could also easily pair her painting with textured pillows, a sand colored carpet and driftwood furniture.
Diane Romanello’s Blue Skies Panel is another piece of art perfect for a beach house’s display wall. It features the artist’s iconic Adirondack chairs, which are frequently found throughout her seaside scenes. In this case, the chairs are placed on a wooden deck situated between two sand dunes. The chairs face out towards the ocean that appears luminous under the summer sun.
If you like your seaside scenes to include swaying Queen palms, Diane Romanello’s Paradiso Sunset may just tickle your sandy toes. Gazing at the painting will leave you feeling as if you’re standing under the palms watching the waves roll up onto the shore. Romanello used a series of warm toned colors to create the painting. Thus, it would look attractive paired with earth or fire toned walls and furnishings.
