Dennis Fanton Oil Dennis Fanton trained at Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, Ducret School of Art, and had private instruction in oil painting, pastels, botanical illustration, and portraiture. His style is strongly influenced by the impressionistic painters with a focus on color relationships and interesting, varied brushwork. The balance of light and shadow are a frequent theme and his personal relationship with the changing seasonal landscapes of the Hudson Valley is reflected in his work. Painting in ever-changing light has resulted in a focus on the emotional impact of the piece rather than simply attention to detail. He is affiliated with Kent Art Association, Middletown Art Group, Garret Society, and Wallkill River School.
