Artist Statement
Plein Air Painting is a metaphysical skill capable of creating an image that lets the viewer 
'Be there in the moment' when viewing the painting.
I' ve discarded the comfort of the studio and painting from photographs, in order to be involved with all five senses,
 getting the essence of a scene down on the canvas, creating from nature, the best of all teachers, with the truest of all colors... 
 Painting from Life.

I have spent the last 30+ years with one simple focus - attempting to capture the fleeting light as it defines a shape, 
creates a mood or connects to the familiar, and pass that 'never to be again' moment onto to you, the viewer. 
Some efforts are monumental in subject matter because of the very nature of the subject but, most are everyday 'moments'.

International Plein Air Painters Artists Organization WORLDWIDE   Est. 10/19/01
BALDINI J R _ Lobster Cove, Monhegan _ 22x28 Oil on canvas __ painted on a perfect day on Monhegan Island below the Wyeth House. Quiet deliciousness all day and amazing subject..I put the focal point on the distant rocks and kept the foreground more abstract.
" Fog in the Harbor " Oil painting . 8 " x 8 " available $450.00
"Buoys in Fog " 16 x 20 Oil on board __ SOLD
BALDINI J R _ Early Morning - 20x24 _Oil on board the day starts before sun up on an island. I wanted to show the morning light and the solitary feeling of getting a days work done before the rest of the world is awake. Glazing was used in pastel areas.
BALDINI J R _ Lobster Cove in Fog _ 8 x 16 _ Oil impasto on panel _ I remember the days I paint. Early morning on the island comes in with rolling fog . Painting below on the rocks gave me a higher horizon and a simpler composition. Heavy sculptural pigment applied with a painting knife.
BALDINI J R _ The Red House made famous from the painting by Jamie Wyeth. 8 x 8 on canvas. Painted in early morning with a haze cloaking the adjoining island.. I could hear the quiet lapping of the water below on the rocks. __SOLD
BALDINI J R _ Monhegan Morning _ 8 x 8 _ Oil on canvas _ SOLD The light was the strongest part of the composition. The sounds of piano music coming from the tiny church made for a typical island morning. Warm tones, strong directional lighting .
BALDINI J R _ Ca d Zan, (House of John) Sarasota, Florida. 8 x 8 __Oil on canvas. Morning cool shadows are a large part of this composition and walk you right through the painting to the focal point. One of my favorite and repeatedly painted subjects. I teach a workshop there in March.
BALDINI J R _ Up River__8 x 8 Oil on canvas . Niagara quality of light is so much fun to paint. This spot was originally the location of Niagara Falls and has moved down river to the current location. This distant view is cloaked in beautiful blues and the painting is about color and contrast.
BALDINI J R _ Riverbend _ 8 x 8 _ Oil on panel. Autumn in Niagara is interesting, not just for the colors but, because some of the foliage is already gone and the views change dramatically. Warm with cool accents. SOLD
BALDINI J R _ Nagara November_ 8 x 8 Oil on canvas. I have painted Niagara hundreds of times and never get bored. The mist, the plume, the dancing rainbows make for the most interesting color combos and shapes. Niagara workshops May through September.
BALDINI J R _ St. Lucia, West Indies _ 8 x 8 _ Oil on canvas. Quiet morning with the distant sounds of fishermen and locals chatting as they set up their wares for the day. This piece is warm colors with cool accents.
