DAN KLEMPA:PHOTOGRAPHY

Wrapping up an unforgettable trip to Italy with a few final days in Pisa. 🇮🇹✨

Spent my last afternoon taking in a Pisa SCvs. Fiorentina match — and wow… I thought U12 soccer parents were rowdy until I cheered with this crowd. ⚽️😂

Grateful for the painting, the food, the people, and all the inspiration this trip gave me. Until next time, Italy — you’ve been amazing. 🎨🍷

When you binge too much Yellowstone and suddenly every brushstroke looks like it belongs on a ranch. 🐎⛰️🎨

This watercolor was 90% paint, 10% cowboy daydreams.
No Stetsons were harmed in the making of this painting. 🤠

Plein Air Newport 2024- watercolor half sheet

For years I’ve shared the world through my lens, but lately I’ve been drawn to something quieter, slower — watercolor. The same light and shadows I’ve always chased with a camera are now flowing across paper, one brushstroke at a time.

I’ll still be behind the camera, but I’m excited to start showing you this new side of my work. Think of it as photography’s softer cousin — a way of capturing mood and memory that feels even more personal.

Thanks for following me through this shift. I can’t wait to share what’s been on my easel. 🎨
