My style of painting can loosely be described as impressionistic - I like the time honored description of impressionism - “the placement of single strokes of paint that are the right color, the right shape, and placed in the right spot.” - and this is what I strive for when painting.





 


    I work both on location, and in the studio, depending on the intent of the piece.  I paint scenes and settings that inspire me, and although the majority of my paintings are landscapes, I also enjoy painting parks, gardens, and architectural subjects.
 
    Steve Roselles is a native of South Dakota and grew up in the gold mining town of Lead.  He has two grown children, Eric, 36 and Carmen, 33.
 
    He has worked as a gold miner, truck driver, musician, draftsman, illustrator, and as a computer digitizer for the commercial embroidery industry.
 
    Steve is self-taught and has developed a unique style of painting using a palette knife for the majority of each of his pieces.
