Coty Dickson Fine Art

Welcome to my studio and virtual gallery.  Here you will find my best oil and acrylic paintings showing what I love to do: paint the world around me. 

I specialize in contemporary oil and acrylic paintings. I am partial to landscapes and still life because those subjects lend themselves to stories. I love telling stories.  Like the master painters of the past, I try to tell a story with each of my paintings.  I hope to engage the viewer so thoroughly that his/her eyes need to wander all around the painting picking up details and nuances.  I am inspired to paint everyday life and I find delight in depicting seemingly insignificant occurrences.  I am fascinated by the way light falls on a subject with the resulting shadows and variations of color.  I try to show energy, vibrancy and movement by depicting strong shadow and light.  I hope that each of my paintings engages the viewer with something to say allowing him/her to come away with an enlightened vision of the subject.

Thanks for stopping by to visit!
