Joe Dietl is a painter and an actor, well known for Hollywood, tv and indie features like Where The Bears Are, working with actors like Mike Myers, Jennifer Aniston, and Will Ferrell.

In his paintings, Dietl creates a loose framework, freely applying dripping paint which he uses as a rough guide. Primarily using a palette knife to apply the pigment to the canvas with an intentionally directive stroke, he create space and dimension without detailed rendering. He chooses bold, saturated colors that energize the landscape and add a cinematic dimension to the scene.
