About: I work in oils and have been selling my work as my sole source of income for the past 35 years. I am the sole creator of each of my oil paintings. I do all the work personally without the
use of apprentices or assistants. All my work is done by hand with a paintbrush and not airbrush. I say that because my work is very smooth with little to no brushstrokes. It is more like a potrait
style of painting.
My latest works are three-dimensional paintings of aquatic life. I call these images SEA3D. To create the illusion of depth I diffuse and mute the color in the background. In the foreground I use
crisper, brighter colors that are hotter-edged and warmer. The cooler colors recede and the warmer colors extend off the canvas enhanced further with the use of special polarized 3D lenses. Much work
in involved in the coloration to create the multiple levels in the painting. The outcome is a painting that allows the viewer to feel the sensation of diving among whales, dolphins and tropical fish.
Fish on America!

Dianne Dengel
About: "Art that makes you smile." Dianne started painting with oils as a teenager after she had finally saved enough money to purchase five tubes of paint. She did not have enough to purchase a brush so she used what she had, her fingers and rolled bits of paper. Painting on cardboard or wood because canvas was too costly, she perfected her craft. Dianne continues to paint the same way today and her pictures are instantly recognized as "Dengel's" from of their warm, caring subjects whether it is children frolicking in a swimming hole or an elderly couple going through an attic trunk recalling memories. Dianne Dengel paintings hang in homes and galleries all over the world. It is truly "Art That Makes You Smile!" Often criticized by fellow artists for selling her work too "cheap", Dianne stands firm to her belief that art should be affordable and enjoyed by everyone.
