The Artwork of Anthony J. Caruso
I am an artist and a digital artist. I love the creative process and as I get older, my need to be creative increases. Being an artist and a digital artist is my second career. My long-standing interest in art transformed into an activity over 15 years ago and continued to grow after I retired as a college professor and scientist. I can honestly say that my art is a 24-7-365 passion. In fact, I cannot imagine a day going by without spending time in my studio, creating, designing, and trying new techniques. I have spent countless hours working to develop my skills. I have a broad perspective on art. My art includes landscapes, portraits, still life and other realistic elements as well as scenes from my imagination.
As a digital artist, my medium is the computer. I am self-taught and learned techniques from reading tutorials, magazines, journals and books. I have had to learn about things that all artists need to learn, e.g., perspective and light. In addition, I have had to learn to use software and hardware to create and edit my art. It has taken me several years to learn what I needed to know. The learning continues today, as I develop new styles and techniques. And, the hardware and the software are evolving so I spend as much of my time learning about updates for these programs and peripheral devices as I do on art itself.

My Inspiration
I am often asked where I get my ideas for a painting. Well, as an artist, I like to think that anything I see will serve as an inspiration. Clearly, I have found that to be true with landscapes and to a lesser extent still lifes. In addition to what I see is what is in my head. I don't know where these thoughts come from and I have jokingly attributed them to random neural firing. What else could explain why I painted 2 hands reaching for a syringe or a grave site visitor dressed in lingerie or pyschedelic mushrooms? Sometimes, I see the blank canvas (or screen) and then the next thing I remember is looking at the finished paintiing. I don't remember any thing else! These are just a few of the processes I go through as I begin a new painting. I wish I understood these more and could write about them more clearly.
