another "art" film

...here from a long list of favorite films:
Box of Moonlight by Tom DiCillo.

...or check out some of my other favorites here. Sorry this hasn’t been updated in a long time, and I have many new ones to had to this list.

Tom DiCillo, is a director who has provided me with a couple of great ones including Living in Oblivion.

In fact, I haven't event got to the beginning yet. I previously recommended a film called The Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders - he’s not even my favorite director. The guy who inspires me with artistic film sensibilities is, Jim Jarmusch. I have pretty much tried to see everything he has made. But, to get back to my point, after seeing a bunch of Jarmusch films I started really liking this director named Tom DiCillo. Only later to find out that he had worked as a cinematographer with Jim Jarmusch.

Anyway, this one, Box of Moonlight was one that I went to see with a friend named Tim Timmerman. Neither of us knew what to expect, but I really loved this and found out later who the director was, and his history with some of my other favorite movies.

John Turturro and Sam Rockwell are cast as opposites in this journey film. I can relate to both sides of this pairing, because I can be high-strung and uptight like Turturro but also as aimless as Rockwell's character “the kid.”

The particular journey that Turturro experiences is one that brings him full circle in finding out who he is, and brings him into a stronger course of life once he returns to the life he was running from. Now if that wasn’t confusing enough - watch this when you get a chance.

Del Nero Artwork - sells out


…well, maybe not completely.

Click Here for more info about selecting available artwork.

At a site called imagekind.com, I just wanted to offer prints of works that are no longer available or have been requested many times over. This is a new feature for me - prints! This includes work from my worker series, object series, and features paintings of guys shoveling. Women working. Spiritual themes and a couple of pieces from the “elements” show that was at Gallery W in Sacramento, circa 1994. I think interior designers can really use this site. Some of these originals were too expensive to be purchased for a Dr's office, but now I think they can fit the bill.

I plan on offering some of the favorites that people have had over the years. Del Nero Artwork, normally in the business of selling original artwork only, now is bringing these works as either printed on paper, framed and shipped directly to you. Or, if you prefer they can print it on canvas and stretch it on to stretcher bars like the originals.

This is a great site to see some of the work, size it, price it and buy it. I can occasionally offer discounts on shipping, framing or an over-all percentage discount. Check it out when you get a chance -

I will keep you posted.
