Description from the seller
Important painting by Tom Orsini “ Venice “
Watercolor on paper laid on board
Work from the 1970s
Tom Orsini
Everett Thomas Orsini, born in October 1946, has always lived in Rochester, New York. He graduated from McQuaid Jesuit High in 1964. Among other courses, he studied Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology and Art History at the University of Rochester, attending evening classes. After retiring in 2003, after being a civilian employee of the police for 30 years, Tom began creating commissioned watercolors of houses in the Rochester area. Retirement has allowed him to travel across much of the United States with his partner, drawing inspiration from landscapes and figurative acrylic works.
Combining caricatures with local architecture or landscapes, the "Vignettes" were born, an opportunity for Tom to tell a mini-story through the expressions and postures of his characters. Many wonder where he draws inspiration for many of the caricatures. They come from daily life and from the many people Tom met during the 30 years he spent on the streets of Rochester and on his travels across the United States, as well as elsewhere.
