Pierre's Winter Salad and Amaryllis, Original Painting

About the Item

Pierre's Winter Salad and Amaryllis Mixed Media Painting 60 x 48 inches Artist's Commentary: "This is a great salad recipe including grapefruit, avocado and peppermint. My kitty, Pierre, likes to be included in my projects, especially when there are birds outside the window!" About the Artist: I specialize in portraiture, with a particular fondness for the Mother and Child theme, although any depiction of the “love aspect” is what inspires me. How we connect with those close to us is, in my opinion, the deciding factor on how we progress on the spiritual path. It is not our career accomplishments or the development of our talents - it is how we kiss the hand of the person walking our path with us on this journey. When I depict relationships in my figurative works, I am keen to keep this in mind and hope to inspire my viewers to take care with those small precious moments. I also paint still lifes and landscapes. Any excuse to pick a bouquet of flowers or go for a hike in search of a riveting landscape is most welcome. Recently I began an “Around Town” series which brings new excitement for me in exploring our personal relationships within the enticing moods of the big (or little) city. My approach to art includes: my reverence for all forms of life and the loving and creative relationships which they form, recognition of the light that pervades all, and a love of color. I have exhibited in many art shows over the years and have won many awards, although I took a break from that promotional path for a while. Currently, I have picked up that path again and am presently enjoying an Honorable Mention in a local “Color” exhibit at 3 Square Art Gallery and some exposure in the following online exhibitions: Biafarin “Extinction”, Art Fluent “Within”, Arts Benicia “Contemporary Figurative Work”, and Fusion “Cityscape”. They are all international exhibits. In 2007, I received the Lorenzo di Medici President’s Award at the Biennale in Florence, Italy. My professional career has spanned thirty four years so far and has included illustration, graphic design, mural painting, teaching, and fine art. Portraiture has remained my passion and become my specialty. Whatever the environing conditions of life, you can always find me behind an “art desk” of one kind or another, be it an easel, a camera lens or a computer!
