Robin Frisella, "Hanging in There", 10x10 Blue Hydrangea Still life Pastel

2024

About the Item

"Hanging in there" is a 10x10 original oil pastel drawing on paper by artist Robin Frisella PSA-MP, IAPS/MC. Depicted is a bright blue bunch of hydrangeas hanging upside down. The sprig of flowers is hanging by a bright greens stem taped to the stark black background which makes the vibrant blues and white pop dramatically. Behind the hydrangeas in a white and blue striped handkerchief which is also hanging against the black background by a pin. Fine art has the gentle power to reflect the best things in life . . . beauty, hopefulness, serenity. The hands of artist Robin Frisella harness that power in pastel works that are as stunning as they are calming. An apple in an antique bowl. Ripe pears just waiting to be eaten but, for now, somehow being simply elegant. Pale pink tulips that pop against the white of a treasured old vase. The paintings Robin creates have a photo-realistic quality. But they are hardly images captured in a flash. She painstakingly arranges the objects she has chosen to paint – often pieces of nostalgia that are striking in their antiquity and grace. She blends pure pigment on sanded paper to artfully achieve the tones, lights and shadows of these objects she has so deliberately assembled. The results are still lifes in sheer splendor, memories and moods come to life through layer upon layer of pastel patiently stroked in natural light. In 2000, after taking a local pastel class, Robin found her calling. Art would be more than a pastime. It would be her life’s work. She left her job of 18 years and began teaching art herself. The first piece she entered in a juried competition won Best of Show. As her successes and followers grew, she decided to start her own gallery. Frisella Fine Art Studio opened in Candia, NH in 2006.
