We have reported before on Stephen D’Amato’s work because he often paints in the Grove.  He has now notified us of his forthcoming exhibit in Pompton Plains at the Pequannock Public Library during November. (973-835-7460.)

He will be showing 20 paintings with Jersey Shore themes, including some new works from 2004-2015. So if you are seeking art with Jersey Shore themes, Steve’s the main man.

RACHAEL CANTU  “De Colores”  by Joan Baez

“All these colors are like all the love
I have known in my life
And keep filling my heart
All these colors are like all the love
I have known in my life
And keep filling my heart.”

“The Stokes Statue and the Great Auditorium” by Stephen D’Amato

This past June we met painter Stephen D’Amato when he was making sketches in front of the Stokes statue. Stephen has been working on a series of shore themes, and he has kindly allowed us to show the above work based on those sketches. His current show is being held at the Cranford Library (see link below) and will run until the end of December.

When he was visiting here, we were discussing how Woody Allen had used Ocean Grove settings for his film “Stardust Memories.” In an email today, he said, “I did watch “Stardust Memories” and really liked it. It was interesting to see how they adapted the area locations to the story.”

Here are links to Mr. D’Amato’s blog and also to our Blogfinger article about him. I especially like his painting called “Oxygen Tattoo–Wildwood” which is shown in our June article.  — Paul Goldfinger
