Portfolio Inspired by Landscape
In this portfolio, I gathered paintings inspired by fleeting memories of past experiences communing with nature. The images offer an immediate sensory experience, encompassing atmospheric conditions and the play of natural light. These paintings frequently begin with actual experiences in nature, which I then explore as I paint, and the shapes, forms, and colors change in the process.
I think you will notice that I am keenly interested in “in-between places and states”, the changing of seasons, the movement of water, the effects of weather on light, and how light is modulated in the morning and evening. Because of these interests, the paintings transcend representation and evoke a temporal location.
Many of these works are smaller, which is perfect for those who want a smaller original because their available space is limited or they have a smaller budget for an original painting.
Painted using professional-grade materials on archival support, all of this work is built for longevity. The surface includes layered detail that becomes more apparent in person, rewarding close inspection over time.
Each is an original, one-of-a-kind painting. Once sold, no reproductions or copies will be made.
Pricing and dimensions are available by selecting any painting image. Pricing includes professional handling, and shipping details are clearly outlined to ensure a smooth and secure delivery.

10x10 inch small square oil painting with soft atmospheric blues, grays and peachy orange depicting contemplative horizon and practice of searching by RitaMarie Cimini"
Peaceful Day: Serene 10x10" oil painting with soft blues, peaches, and pinks capturing a tranquil atmosphere. Small contemplative art by RM Cimini.
This luminous square painting captures the fleeting, ever-shifting surface of water in motion. Loose, gestural brushwork in deep teal, slate blue, olive green, and shimmering gold-yellow evokes sunlight dancing across a rippling body of water — neither fully abstract nor representational, but suspended in that charged space between the two. The square format gives the composition an intimate, almost meditative quality, like a single still moment pulled from something endlessly moving. A quietly stunning piece that brings both calm and energy to a space.
Surf 30 x 30" 2024 Surf captures water in its most kinetic state — waves breaking, light fracturing, the surface in constant negotiation with sky and air. The brilliant whites and turquoise blues record the moment when reflection becomes impossible to hold: the wave breaks and the image shatters with it. This is altered perspective as pure motion — the sea refusing to be a mirror, insisting instead on being itself. Oil on Canvas
Enlighten 30 x 30" 2017 Oil on Canvas Enlighten depicts a sky ablaze with violet, peach, and orange — and its reflection doubling below on the water's surface. The two worlds — sky and sea — become nearly indistinguishable, each altering the other. The painting asks: which is real and which is reflection? In this altered perspective, luminosity travels in both directions, and the boundary between above and below dissolves into pure color and light.
Sea View 12 x 12 in Oil on canvas Creation Date: 2017 SeaView pulls back to take in the full expanse — a stormy open sea under a heavy grey sky, the horizon barely distinguishable. Here reflection is atmospheric: the sea absorbs the sky's mood and gives it back amplified, the grey deepened, the unease made tangible. The altered perspective is emotional — water as barometer, as mood, as the world's feelings made visible on its surface.
