About the Item

Free Fallin, Original Impressionist Landscape Painting 10" x 10" Pastel on Board When used as an idiom, "seeing the forest for the trees" can have a negative connotation of missing the bigger picture. But in the case of this landscape painting by artist Dina Gardner, the emphasis on the trees speaks to a grander appreciation for the little things, and an understanding of the individual parts that make up the larger environment around us. The trees lean to the right, as if they have endured decades of winds encouraging their growth, their trunks a gorgeous purple hue beneath the canopy of bright yellow. Artist Commentary: Yellow!!!! It is such a happy color and it is so much fun to paint with yellow. Many people think if you paint with a 'light yellow,' one with a lot of white in the base color, you will get a great pop of yellow but that couldn't be further from the truth. I have found that to get yellow to sing you need to layer different values of light and dark while paying particular attention to warm and cool color temperature. This is how you make yellow have that zing of sunlight. I took this photo reference while we were driving around in the West and I'm not sure if they were birches or cottonwoods or even aspens but I decided to take creative license and make them birches. I love this painting! Hand painted, one of a kind, original, signed pastel painting

  • "Couple on Bench at the Beach" Pastel on Paperboard signed by Francesco Spicuzza
    By Francesco Spicuzza
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    "Couple on Bench at the Beach" is an original pastel drawing on paperboard by Francesco Spicuzza. The artist signed the piece in the lower left. This drawing depicts two figures sitting on a bench in front of a body of water. The artist used mostly pastel colors for this piece. 6 7/8" x 9 7/8" art 18 1/2" x 21 3/8" frame Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves...
