Peggie Blizard Paintings

American, b. 1942
Peggi Blizard is an American artist best known for her meditative realist paintings of interiors and still life's. Drawing on the techniques of Dutch Realism, Blizard captures the emotional significance of everyday objects and spaces. Peggie Blizard was born in Rockingham, North Carolina in 1942. After receiving her BFA from East Carolina University, she moved to New York where she continued her education at the Art Students League and Pratt Graphic Arts Center (now the Pratt Institute), and later received her Master's degree from City College. Blizard's work has been exhibited at the Hammond Museum, North Salem, NY; the Parrish Art Museum Southampton, NY; the Boston Museum of Fine Art; Hopper House, Nyack, NY; the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh; the Norfolk Museum of Fine Arts, VA; and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Richmond. Artist statement: Realism as a style has remained unchanged since the Renaissance. Realism as a technique, however, has been altered and heavily influenced by technology. Most artists have given up “eyeballing” a subject as a drawing technique and have come to rely on photographs instead. Turnaround time for pictures is now virtually instant because of digital cameras and computers. Photoshop can actually “paint” a picture for you. Artists have always used the tools at hand and of their time …. Camera obscura, compass, protractor, calipers, rulers, etc. The challenge has always been and still is the same: How do you make a work of art and not just an artwork? How do you infuse poetry into what you are doing and give the work meaning and beauty? One of the things I try to achieve in my work is the creation of a feeling of three dimensions through the objects I paint, whether they are flowers or boxes or old kitchen appliances. The space between the objects and the viewer is usually somewhat shallow. However, behind and around the objects, there is the illusion of great depth. An artist friend of mine once said that the purpose of painting, whether realistic or abstract, is to make a two-dimensional space appear to be three dimensional. Maybe it’s just that simple.

"Three Magenta Peonies" contemporary realist oil painting pink flowers on black

By Rachel Personett

Located in Sag Harbor, NY

"Three Magenta Peonies" is contemporary realist oil painting pink flowers on black background. A classical painting subject and style, with a fresh and intriguing touch. Signed "Personett" lower left corner. Framed in a traditional black frame w gold trim. Framed dimensions: Rachel Personett was born in Hawaii, but raised in Colorado. Being the daughter of a pilot she has always traveled extensively. She has studied part time at the Savannah College of Art and Design, The Angel Academy of Art, and finally settled on the Florence Academy of Art, graduating in 2015. In January 2016 she apprenticed the painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway for eight months. Rachel Personett works strictly from life, and enjoys the challenged of painting the ephemeral. Working from life provides the opportunity to travel around the world painting the ever changing people and landscapes. Artist Statement My mother had studied advertising in college, so she knew a lot about arts and good craftsmanship. She did talks at my elementary school each week and on a different artist. I remember being very moved by the images of Van Gogh and Andrew Wyeth. At the Florence Academy I really liked Sargent, Sorolla, Willard Metcalf, Henri Fantin-Latour and Velazquez. At Odd Nerdrums I gained new respect for Rembrandt and was introduced to other Scandinavian...
