Portraits

2012-01-25T09:04:00.000-07:00

Mel

Alice


Cindy

Here are a few recent portraits that I've painted with oil. I attend George Coll's portrait class on occasion and always enjoy it when I do go. The top painting, "Mel" is a 91 year young "fly boy" from World War II. His stories were memorable. These original paintings were all painted alla prima in a 3 hour class. I have more artwork online:

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning

2012-01-19T11:26:00.000-07:00

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning

This is a new oil painting 9" x 12" I completed for 2012. I started painting it in a traditional way then turned to a pallet knife to get loose and add some impasto. I also used a small pallet knife to scrape away some of the paint to reveal the underpainting. This peaceful scene of atmospheric cliffs reaching the Pacific ocean in Hawaii at sunset is for sale. You can contact me for current availability.

Prints and cards of Coastal Cliffs Beckoning can be ordered through fine art america.

Finding Peace Sukhasana

This is a new oil painting for 2012. This 12" x 9" original oil depicts one of the models (also an awesome yoga instructor) of my Tuesday night figure painting group seated in Sukhasana. I depicted her at a peaceful beach; a place to find inner calm. I would like to do a series of paintings on yoga poses. This painting is for sale, for current availability please contact me. Prints are also available of this image at fine art america.

Kids being kids: at the beach

2011-12-01T13:56:00.001-07:00

Age of Innocence (sold)

Oh Brother! (sold)

California Dream'n (sold)

All three of these children playing at the beach paintings are pastels. I wanted to capture not just the serenity of the beach but the playfulness that kids bring out in it. I enjoy painting things that make me feel good and take me back to places I'd like to be.

Romantic Paintings

2011-11-29T18:01:00.013-07:00

Into the Sunset (n/a)

Soul Mates (n/a)

The Proposal (n/a)

These three paintings were done for some very romantic couples. The top sunset painting (oil) was in Aruba. The couple had their picture taken walking into the sunset along the beach. She didn't know he was going to propose. "Soul Mates" is an oil I completed for my son and his new wife for their wedding. We were on a hike in Colorado together when I took the reference photo. The bottom painting, "The Proposal" (pastel) was the most difficult. He wanted to recreate his romantic marriage proposal of them in New York City's Central Park. I had bits and pieces of information to go by but no good reference photo. This painting was given by the groom to the bride the night before their wedding.

Monochromatic Nude Oils

2011-11-26T14:10:00.002-07:00

Jubilant

Earth

Intent: Steve

Ashley Rae

Carrie

These monochromatic oil paintings were all done using Transparent Oxide Red with maybe a touch of Sap Green added in the last nude modeling session. The paintings were done alla prima in a 3 hour session using both female and male nudes. I find that when I paint with just one color or two I get back in touch with value and start seeing the light and shadow more clearly. To find out if a painting is available (they were at the date of this post) you can contact me and we can set it up with pay pal.

Gesture Drawing

2011-11-24T13:25:00.000-07:00

These are 3-5 minute Gesture drawings I've done of some beautiful nude female backs. Drawing this fast really makes you react and not think your drawing to death. There is truly no better way to improve your drawing skills than drawing from life.

Ashley Rae

2011-11-23T18:11:00.000-07:00

Ashley Rae is another professional model that I enjoy to paint and draw. She usually poses in the nude for our weekly group. She is awesome at getting right back into the perfect pose each time. She is truly long and lovely. These are some charcoal and pastel drawings (the second is a monochromatic oil) I have done of her over the years. All images were done alla prima in one 3 hour session.

"Corsair Wench"

2011-11-22T08:00:00.001-07:00

"Corsair Wench"

I admit, I had to google the name of a pirate's girlfriend and this is what I came up with. Allie posed for our weekly figure and portrait drawing and painting group. I didn't get to finish the pastel, but I rather like the unfinished look. The focus is the pirate hat and expression. This pastel drawing on canson pastel paper is available for purchase.

Steve: Male nude model

2011-11-21T17:01:00.002-07:00

Steve: oil

Steve: charcoal pencil

I also paint & draw male models. Steve is another excellent model who posed nude. He has a serious gaze which I felt I captured in these images. The top piece is a monochromatic oil painting. I used only Transparent Oxide Red with maybe just a touch of Viridian in the last session. Although I love color it's good to force yourself to paint using just value. Both images were created alla prima in one 3 hour session.

Classic (nude) back poses

2011-11-17T17:33:00.002-07:00

Classic Back Pose

Trish

Earth (it really is her name)

Ashley Rae

I don't know why I'm attracted to paint the nude female back. I've always admired Ingres: Grand Odalisque and maybe it reminds me of that beautiful classic painting. The top four paintings were done in oil, the bottom is a pastel. Sometimes I work on a painting with only one color: Transparent Oxide Red. Working with just value is a great way to train your eye to see it. All were done alla prima in a 3 hour session.

Tarena

2011-11-16T17:41:00.005-07:00

Egyptian goddess (pastel)

Fallen (pastel)

Tarena of Athens (oil)

Beauty (oil)

Dangerous (charcoal)

Ready for Burning Man

Tarena (pastel)

Over the last four years of weekly painting or drawing models in costumed or nude poses, I've definitely had some favorite models. Tarena is one of them. These are some of the paintings and drawings I've done from her very creative costumes. She also is excellent at getting back into a pose perfectly and sits still. All of these were done alla prima (one session) except for Tarena of Athens in which she posed for us two sessions in a row. To find out if a piece is still for sale, contact me.

Trish

2011-11-16T16:15:00.001-07:00

Trish

Trish: Nude Back Pose

Trish: Blue eyes

These are a few examples of one of our regular models on my uninstructed painting evenings with artist friends. We paint costumed models and nudes once a week. Trish has been an awesome and versitile model for us. The top two nude poses were done in oil. The bottom is pastel. All three were done alla prima. By painting in one session the painting is fresher and more spontaneous. These original paintings are for sale, to inquire for current availability, please contact me.

Royalty

2011-11-15T13:18:00.001-07:00


Royalty

I painted "Royalty" in a 3 hour long pose (with breaks) in a uninstructed live model painting night. This 14" x 11" original oil painting has lots of impasto and bold strokes. Our model was costumed to look quite distinguished with just a yellow shear drape that looked like an elegant gown. This painting is currently for sale, you can contact me for more details.

2011-11-13T16:15:00.001-07:00

Nerves from Gold

This oil painting is a product my Tuesday night uninstructed painting sessions that I attend. Our model was dressed as a business man from the early 1900's and his expression was priceless. This 12" x 9" original oil was painted alla prima and is for sale. Please contact me for more information .

Rabbit Ears Pass painting

2011-11-10T16:29:00.001-07:00

Rabbit Ears Pass

This is another little plein air oil painting (9.5" x 5") I painted in September 2011. I went with a group of art friends to a beautiful home in North Park, Colorado for a few days of plein air painting. This scene of Rabbit Ears Pass (Routt National Forest) was right outside the front door which is among a healthy Aspen grove. I painted "Rabbit Ears Pass" in morning light and finished it one sitting (alla prima) This paintings is currently available for sale. Please contact me for details.

2011-11-09T14:13:00.000-07:00

Summit Lake

This is one of several plein air oil paintings I painted this fall. "Summit Lake" is on the the top of Buffalo Pass in Routt National Forest near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The alpine lake was calm, the forest quiet and the air pristine. This original oil painting on canvas is 10" x 6" and is available for purchase. Please contact me for current status.

Island Lake

2011-09-28T15:26:00.000-06:00

Island Lake

"Island Lake" is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I stumbled upon this lodge and Provencal Park near Fernie, British Columbia Canada last summer. While I hiked in old growth forests around this quiet mountain lake, I was constantly taking reference pictures as I was inspired the entire time. I want to return and stay longer.

This new oil painting is for sale. For more information please contact me.

Transformer Project: FINISHED!

2011-08-15T16:52:00.000-06:00

North facing/street side: Fort Namaqua

The 45" x 75" metal transformer box on 1st Street & Madison streets, Loveland, Colorado

Mariano's Crossing: the toll bridge, Medina's home and pioneers

The original Fort built of stone quarried from west of Loveland, CO

I found out this "barn" was actually a housing for the stone fort and was used to store hay


The panoramic image of Fort Namaqua also has a panoramic top with the tops of Cottonwood trees linking each side together

I FINISHED painting the Transformer box today. The project is part of Art in Public Places . This was a juried & contract project through the City of Loveland. I started painting the 45" x 75" metal box 3 weeks ago. I have spent most mornings there and paint until the heat is too intense. I spent 25+ hours just planning the project. This year's theme was "Historical Loveland". Since I have done several historically based commissions, I was intrigued by this opportunity and decided to depict Mariano Medina's settlement.

Transformer Project: mid 1800's figures

2011-08-15T15:54:00.002-06:00

Louis Papa

Mariano Medina

Here are some of the figures I've incorporated into my 45" x 75" transformer box: "Fort Namaqua". They were the trickiest to do since I have been working on 90 degrees days on a metal box that also gives off heat (if you can imagine that). The acrylic dries as soon as it hits the surface.

Progression of north/street side


south side blocked in: Mariano's Crossing.

west side: the original Fort Namaqua

Fort Namaqua:

Mariano Medina built a toll bridge over the Big Thompson River (Loveland, Colorado) in 1858. The route was on the Overland Trail which connected with the Oregon Trail. He charged as much as $1 per crossing- and most pioneers paid it vs. taking the risk of crossing the river.

Day 4

Two more rather hot mornings working on the box brought progression. I'm re-defining the big shapes, added trees, rocks and tweaked colors. The brush gets a little smaller as I get down to details.

Day 1-underpainting

Day 2: Shade!

East Side, Day 2

I started painting my transformer box this week. The theme is Fort Namaqua based on the 1800's Western Fort built by Mariano Medina. I will be painting this 45" x 75" box over the next 3 weeks with acrylic paint. It's a challenge with hot summer weather, a busy street and 5 large sides to cover. How else can you grow without a challenge?

Grandma's Secret

I drew this drawing of my Mother holding my son (many years ago) from a favorite photo I took on a memorable vacation we took with my parents on the Oregon coast. Capturing a favorite moment with a photo is priceless; capturing it in a piece of art is a keepsake.

"For Vincent"

This 12" x 15" pastel painting of Van Gogh's Starry Night is one I completed recently for a pastel class that I teach out of my home studio. I -along with the rest of the world have come to appreciate Van Gogh, sadly far too many years after his death. Starry Night is a favorite but actually copying it gave me that much more appreciation for his artwork. We had a fun learning experience.

Drawing and Painting in Soft Pastels: Exploring Color

2011-03-15T16:12:00.002-06:00

Country Art Classes with Mary Giacomini

Drawing and Painting in Soft Pastels: Exploring Color

In this session I will be going over more of the basics of drawing principles; value, composition, drawing what you see, etc. which will lead and help with painting in soft pastels. The focus of this session will incorporate more color experiments and under painting. As the weather improves, plein air sessions in my backyard are a possibility.

My style swings from realistic to impressionistic to somewhere in between. I am always open to suggestions of class ideas and will give plenty of individual attention. This class is geared for the novice/beginner to intermediate levels.

Classes are limited to 6 students currently. Priority is given to the first received. I live just west of Loveland, Colorado with a wide open view of the foothills and Big Valley. It's quiet and inspiring. I have a new, main floor, north lit studio.

You will need to bring your own materials. I will give students a recommended supply list at registration. Since painting in pastel is crumbly, you will need either a regular or tabletop easel.

Session 2*: Friday April 15^th, Thursdays: April 21, 28, May 5, 12, 19^th, 2011
*beginners welcome

One Friday & Thursday mornings from 9-12 AM at my studio/home. Cost for 6 -3 hour classes: $162.00

Homeschool Art Project: Painted Birdhouses

2011-02-05T18:33:00.000-07:00

My home school group of artists finished painting and decorating their wooden birdhouses this week. We worked on the project over 3 classes. The girls were pretty proud about their acrylic painted creation...for good reason-they were fun and turned out great!

Contact me if you have a homeschooling group or family that would like more art in their curriculum.

High in the Rockies

2011-01-31T20:10:00.000-07:00

"High in the Rockies" is the name of this newly painted/still drying 8.5" x 17.5" original oil painting. The scene is from a backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Early morning mountain lake reflections are always worth getting up for. I have to give my daughter credit for taking the beautiful reference photo that I worked from. This painting is for sale, contact me for details...
