“There are internal painters, and there are external painters. I’m very definitely external,” says Dina Brodsky from Falmouth, where she’s on vacation from New York City. “I’m interested in the world around me, rather than the world inside my head. It’s a documentation of my life in visual form.”

Brodsky’s paintings — oils on 3-inch diameter copper tondos, or circles — are like tiny portals. Though Brodsky doesn’t consider herself a “narrative painter,” the works transport the viewer somewhere vast and open. It’s partly because of the way Brodsky captures light — vivid, clear, independent of time of day. Each reflects hours of work, as well as something about the artist herself.
