Antimo Beneduce

In Jamaica

Antimo Beneduce's original watercolor, "In Jamaica" was created by the American artist around 1950 - 1960. Beneduce worked almost exclusively in the medium of watercolor. Equally skilled in the fields of landscape, architectural depictions and figure studies, he travelled extensively throughout the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. An interesting aspect of Antimo Beneduce's fine art is that he almost always created directly from nature and not in the studio. As one can see in this original watercolor entitled "In Jamaica", Beneduce's artistic spontaneity produced captivating imagery.
