Michael B. Paolercio : February 2015

http://mbpgrafix.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Michael B. Paolercio. Fine Art and Illustration. Thursday, February 19, 2015. Cincinnati's finest unknown artist - Todd Price. It's my intention to take you step-by-step on how I am doing my newest landscape oil painting. I started working on the painting on Dec. 3. I delayed posting my blogs till I could do them consecutively, week-by-week. Artwork by Todd Price. Todd oversees what I am doing and his pointers have been incredibly beneficial in developing my progress in oil painting. I started drawing in...

Michael B. Paolercio : February 2014

http://mbpgrafix.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Michael B. Paolercio. Fine Art and Illustration. Thursday, February 27, 2014. A Game of Inches. I covered sports for more years than I care to mention, and no matter which sport I covered, invariably some sports figure would throw out the quote - "It's a game of inches." You could bet your life's fortune that you'd hear that at least once a week, if not once a day. Sometimes more than once a day! Well - now's it's my turn! I'm sure you figured that out and what that means, right? With the groundwork done...

Michael B. Paolercio : November 2013

http://mbpgrafix.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Michael B. Paolercio. Fine Art and Illustration. Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Sometimes it doesn't work . Just to make the disclaimer first - I am just as guilty as everyone else! Okay That's out of the way. I admit it. I have some opportunities to look at other artists' blogs and I am somewhat amused that I never see an artist post a bad effort. AND - see the first sentence of this week's blog. Yes, I'm as guilty as everyone else. Ray Hassard at work. Bad art in progress. The photo depicts one lone per...

Michael B. Paolercio : May 2014

http://mbpgrafix.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Michael B. Paolercio. Fine Art and Illustration. Thursday, May 15, 2014. Teaching is something I've always entertained as a possibility during various points in my life. My patience level has never been the best, however, and it's a quality among those of the teaching profession that I have always admired. I clearly couldn't have taught elementary school. Third graders, I suspect, would have trouble getting their little mitts around my sense of humor. Pastels are the other extreme. You can work on a ...

Betty Hafner: Oh, to be in Arizona now . . .

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/12/oh-to-be-in-arizona-now.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, December 18, 2008. Oh, to be in Arizona now . . . On this cold day, I'm remembering a trip to Arizona where the playful shapes of the cacti can't help but inspire. They seemed to be gathering for a meeting (or demonstration? In "Citizens of Sedona" [bottom]. Then what else could the title for this stately cactus [top] be other than "Queen of Sedona"? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Summer Scenery on a Cold Day.

Betty Hafner: Weddings

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2011/07/weddings.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, July 28, 2011. A Breath of Fresh Air" was inspired by a wedding in Berlin during a record-breaking heatwave in Europe. A wedding in the wine country outside of Capetown, South Africa gave me dozens of ideas for art. The dancing was great so I used some photos to create "Shake your Booty". On a safari after the South African wedding, we went out each evening "Looking for Lions". Karen J. Brown. September 27, 2011 at 1:41 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
