Brandon Newton is considered an “expressionist inspired by both the light and dark sides of the natural world.” Newton believes painting gives him the chance “to be still with life to observe and to learn.” “Brandon’s paintings capture the elements that so many Art lovers find appealing: the natural beauty of the land and water, the quaint streetscapes, harbors, farm animals, boats, and extraordinary light. And, while many of his settings are recognizable, Brandon’s style is evolving, moving from the literal to the more suggestive.” Karla Araujo Vineyard Style Magazine. A student at Virginia Commonwealth University, Brandon studied under Durwood Domisee and has been actively exploring oil painting for the last 15 years.
