I met my goal of 10 paintings for the Ann Gorbett and Polo Barrera show opening this Friday ( see previous posts). I'll soon be posting all the paintings on the Paintings page.
I just finished this one and was excited to post it 'cause I'm very happy with how it came out. I painted this from a pic I took from a local pond. This is an addition to my latest Nature Series.
I spent the weekend at the Artist Studio and Gallery at Patriot's Place and produced this new painting in oils for my upcoming show at Gallery 9. I am one of the anchor artists so my work is always on display. Every weekend there are three guest/featured artists. This weekend we had two photographers and a painter: Nancy Antico, Alisa Luciano, and Joanne Willoughby. It was a lot of fun and productive at the same time.
This is the second painting for the December show at Gallery 9 in it's progression. It's a little different for me to start with an underpainting or ground, being a bit traditional or academic.
Polo is a painter, Illustrator, and a visual designer based in the Boston area. His painting is abstract expressionist to representational and inspired by nature. His illustrations are fun and whimsical.
