Holiday Magic with the Stroke of Brush

Carmel's Douglas Depierro paints the Quiet Man Public House.

Put Douglas Depierro in front of a window for an hour and he can transform a regular pane of glass into a magical scene. Whether it be a tranquil Christmas candle display or happy Carmel resident Depierro has a great artistic talent that business owners are happy to have him unleash on their storefronts.

On a chilly afternoon earlier this week, Depierro was oblivious to passersby and people inside the Quiet Man Public House as he listened to Jimi Hendrix through headphones and painted tall red candles on the front windows. See photos above.

Depierro has his own business, DaVinci Inspired, offering illustration, interior design, model making, canvas paintings, Disney characters, architectural rendering, fine art, murals, portraits, Venetian stucco and more.

He has worked for high profile clients like Lucky Charms, McDonalds, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Dannon yogurt. In fact, he is the creative mind behind Dannon's "Danimals."

You can contact Dipierro at davinciinspired@aol.com, 914-557-7761

It is dangerous and a menace to our already horrible traffic on 6. Thank God none of those kids gotRead More hit running in between cars looking for change. Traffic was backed up all through Mohegan...Poor choice of a way to raise monies for a good cause.

@ Wendy, there are people that would say your fight against the methadone clinic is ridiculous. ToRead More some people, gay marriage is a very REAL issue. Recovering drug addicts need to be able to turn to a clinic in order stay on a path of sobriety and many people disagree with your views. I have yet to see methadone zombies all over the streets of Peekskill. Instead we see non-recovering addicts and dealers in the news all the time. Those people are NOT the people that seek the help of clinics. Drug dealers don't hang out in clinics, they hang out in their homes and wait for the next call to come in. I'm sorry that you don't consider discussion about how Frank was removed from the School Board for LYING about living in Peekskill is something to discuss. To me it shows that he already has a very real history of being a liar and shady in order to keep himself in the spotlight and feeling important. However, I do agree that any of those GOP members sitting on that board could've EASILY raised money every year to keep themselves out of the hole if that's what the methadone clinic was doing for them. As far as Mary emailing you back within 24 hours, while you are a taxpaying resident, she is a part-time Mayor and she does have a life of her own. Let's not think that we are all so important that we deserve answers immediately. We've been posting directly to Frank's blog for over a day now and he has not addressed a single thing that has been discussed. We all know that he's reading this. Seems that in a world of transparent government, Frank doesn't want to answer many questions.

Well MJ, of course you would be against a business being allowed to decide not to lose a substantialRead More amount of money because of a liberal social program. No surprise there. I don't speak or write for anybody, but Dwight Douglas is very respected and had been for many years. He resigned over the mess and for being betrayed. The rest of the board are useless. If they weren't so partisan they would have resigned too. As for the forensic audit, at least we agree on something. When Frank wins I hope he does one right away. Lots of money disappearing over the last 6 years, especially a huge fund balance that is now all gone.

Peter Goodson I disagree it was initiated by the HVHC and they are stupid to think a loss of 200K aRead More year is enough cause for me or the rest of the community to believe a closure is necessary. Federspiel thinks Peekskill is bias, better check again we are pretty damn wise. The powers at be could have made a move and didn't. Greg Ball could have raised that money with one event. He is always in the media for his fundraiser at HVHC. This is an absolute mess. Mary Foster has always responded to my e-mails and always claimed she was in opposition. I have emailed her twice in the past 24 hours with no response. You can run Mary but you can't hide!

Rose, why is it that you would call me a name? Why not have a productive debate about the issueRead More instead of name call? I'm sure the anti-gun lobby does not like those numbers- but they are the facts. I know it flies in the face of all of the propaganda- millions of gun purchases and gun crime goes down? This is what we've been saying all along. Leave my natural rights as affirmed by the Constitution alone.

Go away, you Troll.
Teleman May 16, 2013 at 10:23 pm
Plenty of laws on the books- they are obviously working ok, and would probably work even better ifRead More vigorously enforced.
Teleman May 15, 2013 at 04:11 pm
I stand by my statement- until these contracts are fully re-negotiated and the unions startRead More contributing to their benefits and taking zero % or minimal raises, the taxes will continue to increase year after year- Buchanan will no longer be the so-called "bargain" some claim it is.
Sick of the Lies May 10, 2013 at 10:04 am
Hey Fly, before you make comments, you should check the facts. The contracts are alive and well.Read More Mr. Donahue should try learning to read and checking the facts before sending his brilliant letters to the editor in for publishing. They are almost always entirely fictional....but perhaps he really believes what he says. Yeah, right. He intentionally makes up stories to sucker people like you into believing his nonsense.
Fly on the Wall May 10, 2013 at 02:47 am
All of those lucrative 2% contract raises have since expired! DUH. Unlike the 15% raises yourRead More glorious mayor has doled out with great regularity.
