Dennis Sheehan, born in Boston in 1950, is a member of the
Guild of Boston Artists. His work is in major public and private
collections, including the White House. One of his paintings
hangs in the Oval Office! Sheehan paints in the Barbizon
mode with remarkable authority and faithful adherence to his
19th century precursors. In the tradition of the Tonalist
painters, Sheehan creates landscapes of mood, affected by
nature's changing seasons.

"My goal is to have the painting emanate light, rather than be
just a surface that records the reflections of light. This is why
the shadow areas are important, for it is from them that this
emanation proceeds. The light areas are focal points of this
effort, but the power comes from the shadows."
