plein air painter - January FEATURE Phil Panagrosso

plein air painter - Phil Panagrosso

 

Painting is an adventure. Going outdoors to paint, whether in the wilderness, the country, a village or the city, compounds and enhances the adventure, making everything more risky, more fun and a trip into the unknown. Each day spent painting out of doors is memorable.

May Feature Artist - Greta Michelle Joachim

Greta Michelle Joachim Feature Artist

Greta Michelle is from Trinidad and Tobago
Artist Statement
Trinidad and Tobago

Art became my passion in my adult life. I always wanted to paint the landscapes I would see in my travels but felt that I couldn’t. It wasn’t until I was thrust into an emotional maelstrom, that I was able to experience, through God’s divine intervention, the awakening of my artistic abilities. I started painting in 1998 and didn’t look back.
I love nature and all natural forms. I am fascinated by the ocean and the beaches in my island home of Trinidad and Tobago and seek to share what I am privileged to experience daily with the world.
It is through the study of nature; especially the water, that I am drawn even more into a love relationship with God and my art.
My style is Impressionistic. Although I paint in studio, I am captivated by the experience of painting outdoors en plein aire.
My desire is to take what I’ve learnt so far and stretch and it to its very lengths and depths; to grow and become a serious artist.

"Local Color" MOVIE- George Gallo plein air painter

BEVERLY HILLS.- Empire Film Group, Inc. has targeted a November 7th U.S. theatrical release for director George Gallo's semi-autobiographical drama, "Local Color" starring Armin-Mueller-Stahl, Ray Liotta, Trevor Morgan and Ron Perlman. The critically praised feature will open in 15 top markets with Empire's promotional campaign highlighting the Oscar-caliber performance of leading actor Armin Mueller-Stahl.

"Local Color" tells the story of a troubled teenager, played by Trevor Morgan, who seeks artistic advice from a cantankerous but world-renowned oil painter, played by Mueller-Stahl. Through the course of their time together, the young man learns how to see the world through an artist's eyes and the master learns to view life from innocence again. Based on real characters and incidents in the life of writer / director George Gallo, the film resonates with a poignancy and authenticity rarely seen in movies today.

Feature Artist March 2008 - Julie Houck

Artist Statement

My process is straightforward. I look at what I paint. I work in oils en plein air or in the studio. I try to put the atmosphere and emotion of the place or scene in my pieces. I am most interested in the transmission of light in my paintings. It is not always the literal view. I am highly influenced by my teachers who were mostly classically trained. The early years in the atelier have stayed with me. They taught me about light and form and creating atmosphere. I will always be grateful.

Although I live in Hawaii, I am not a regional painter. I travel to California and the West and to France several times a year. I am attracted to scenes that tell a story about the place. I believe this is a legacy from my career as a professional photographer. On location, my job was to tell the story with imagery. Pictures

told the story, not words. In my work, I aspire to capture that “something else” about a place and to recreate, on canvas, the feeling of “being there.”
