"Hope" by: Dan Campanelli

Hope, (34 x 21) Watercolor on Canvas Dan Campanelli has been true to his original vision when it pertains to his art. He is a watercolorist and has painted Northwest New Jersey's landscapes for over a quarter of a century. He is an American Realist artist who has had enormous success in the United States and abroad with his paintings. Being a resident of northwest, New Jersey we have grown to love his simplistic American aesthetic expressed in his paintings. His paintings are able to convey the simple luminous beauty of their subjects. I think what drew us to his work was the composition that he chose were places and landscapes that we are familiar with and recognize. He painted scenes from Jockey Hollow, Phillipsburg and from the villages in Pohatcong Hills where he lived with his wife, Pauline. Dan Campanelli print sales have grown to approximately 1.2 million which is why many people can clearly recognize his work. http://www.njskylands.com/clartist3.htm
