I've also been sharing more video from short and time-lapsed videos to a complete on hour demonstrations video. These are on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/patfiorello/featured">youtube page</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I did a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEvhhrhbcyM">short video</a> on the painting shown above which might be of interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Below is a mixed bouquet my husband recently surprised me with the other day. It had lots of different types of flowers and shapes- large and small roses, several types of mums, lilies and carnations. The variety makes for a lot of interest, but can be challenging for a painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ten different artists could look at this bouquet and paint it 10 different ways. Even one artist could get 10 or more painting ideas from this one bouquet, depending on what they chose to focus on at any given time.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s important to select one idea or story for each painting. It’s easy to fall into the trap of loving everything and trying to make everything important and in doing so nothing stands out. When I think about starting a painting, I’m thinking about what I want to be the star of the show and how to I want to create eye movement and energy in the painting. In this case, what stood out to me most was that single rich, red rose and I liked the way the white flowers and lit part of the other flowers encircled it and moved the eye around in kind of a loop. I decided to make that my priority and that meant downplaying other areas, like the lilies, which due to their size could really take over if I tried to paint everything exactly as I saw it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I have my idea, then I think about how I want to get started. I have several different approaches to starting a painting. I decide sometimes depending what I think will work best for that particular scene and other times just what I’m in the mood to do. Sometimes I’m looking to be realistic and sometimes a little more impressionistic and suggestive. In this case, I was not looking for an exact rendering of this particular bouquet but using the flowers at hand to get that movement. I am always free to add, delete, or change anything to serve the vision of the painting- that main idea I started out with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this particular painting, I wanted to keep it loose and fun and have vivid colors, so I started with an underpainting of transparent colors. You can see with this approach in the beginning the colors are brighter than they will end up being, but I can always dull something down. It’s harder to brighten up something that is dull. This colorful underpainting is just the base upon which I will add another layer of paint, but it it al done, alla prima- while the paint is wet- not waiting for it to dry and doing sequential layer over time which is ore of an indirect painting approach.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I took some photo’s along the way during my painting process and then did a voice over to explain what I was thinking along the way. Here’s a short youtube video clip (about 5 minutes) that takes you through the development of “Ring Around the Rosie” (The title came to me after I looked at the finished painting, as if often does).</div>

<br />
You may have noticed I'm not posting to my blog as frequently as in the past. There are 2 reasons for that.<br />
<br />
Part of that is one of my goals for this year has been to create larger paintings, which are more complex and time consuming, so I don't have as many completed paintings as in the past.<br />
<br />
But the bigger part is that on January 1, 2020, I kicked off a campaign, #Beauty365, where I committed to share something of beauty every single day this year. Beauty can restore us from the things that wear us down in life and these days it seems like there's a lot of that going on. So my commitment is to share something beautiful each day- whether a photo of flowers, an inspiring landscape, my own paintings or art created by someone else to provide a moment of beauty each day. You can take a deep breath and get re-grounded when you see something beautiful and have that sense of pleasure and peace.<br />
<br />
I am sharing those posts daily on both Facebook and Instagram. I invite you to follow me there to stay in touch and get a little extra moment of beauty in your day.<br />
<br />
You can follow me on Facebook at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PatFiorelloArtist/">https://www.facebook.com/PatFiorelloArtist/</a><br />
or Instagram at<a href="https://www.instagram.com/patfiorello/"> https://www.instagram.com/patfiorello/</a><br />
<br />
I'm also posting both my larger paintings and small studies on my on-line gallery at dailypaintworks.com. See. <a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artists/pat-fiorello-2105">https://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artists/pat-fiorello-2105</a><br />
<br />
And as always, we can say connected on what's new and upcoming events, workshops etc. through my monthly "Bringing Beauty to the World" newsletter. If you don't already receive it and would like to be included, you can sign up for free on the home page of my website, Look for the sign up box near the bottom of the page. Your information is only used for newsletter purposes and never shared anywhere else. You can sign up <a href="https://patfiorello.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
So I'll continue to share on this blog from time to time, but as the world continues to change, there are more current and direct ways to keep connected and I invite you to be in touch there.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork.<br />
May you have a beautiful day!<br />
With gratitude,<br />
Pat<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">These are David Austin Juliet roses. I bought the roses a few years back for another painting and did a large still life painting of the flowers and vase, but recently revisited a photo of them and saw an opportunity to come closer in and capture just the flowers. They are wonders of nature!</span></div>

“Circle of Love” is the most recent addition to my Urn Series. Flowers and classic urns are two of my favorite things and I love to combine them in my paintings - the natural beauty of organic floral shapes contrasted by a bit of man made beauty. <br />
<br />
This painting was inspired by a floral arrangement I created several years ago. I love the flow of the foliage and the color palette seems perfect for this time of year.<br />
<br />
Here's the original floral design I created a few years back. I only had the photo to work form. and here are some steps along the way as this painting was created.<br />

<br /> Saturday, I taught a new one day workshop "Painting Roses in Oils, Alla Prima".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The subject was roses, but the broader lesson was using a transparent color block- in before adding any opaque colors on top. This helps to keep the colors really clean which is especially important for flowers which are amongst the most vivid elements in nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The painting above is my finished demonstration painting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I always have to caution students to be prepared for the end of stage 1 of the process which results in a very garish, bold looking, crazy canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I know you must be thinking -How is she going to work her way out of this mess?"(see below), but somehow having faith in the process and refining the image in stage 2 focusing on form and adjusting shapes and edges as needed, it all comes together. </div>

Mostly I paint from still life set ups, on location or even photo's or a group of photos, but occasionally I just like to make something up from my imagination.<br />
<br />
After 25 years or painting, there are certain subjects I've painted over and over- flowers, urns, landscapes, so I feel fairly comfortable bringing that experience to create not what I see but what I would like to see.<br />
<br />
I started with a rough idea of a composition in pencil, very loosely sketched, then brought that to a value sketch. I started by massing in the urn shape and then just built the bouquet inside as I would create an actual physical floral arrangement, placing some of the star flowers (the big garden roses), then adding line flowers and vines for movement and some more delicate shapes contrasting the larger solid flowers. As I moved along, I decided it would be an outdoor scene so added some darks to suggest foliage in the background, but also added a strip of lighter green as sunlit grass to suggest a plane change to the flat ground behind the urn. That wasn't in the original plan but felt right at the time so I went with it. The plan is just a starting point and can be changed at any point if a better idea comes along.<br />
<br />
The result was Garden Fantasy shown above.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Quiet Moments<br />16 x 16 Oil Painting<br /> $1250<br /><br /><br />Every once in awhile I have a painting that has potential, but just doesn't turn out as I'd expected. Sometimes I just toss them out, but this one was a larger one that I scraped off with a palette knife. It has been hanging around my studio, unfinished, for over a year.<br /><br />This week I decided to tackle it again. Looking at what the problems were with the original, I decided I wanted more atmosphere, some more contrast of hard vs. soft edges and to make the flowers a bit smaller so there would be more breathing room around them. The original background was a warm neutral and I decide to go a little cooler/grayer and less towards brown.<br /><br />I "oiled out" the canvas with walnut oil and then approached it as if it were a blank canvas, reestablishing where I wanted the shadows and proceeding from there.<br /><br />I'm glad I saved the panel to revisit this painting. Much happier the 2nd time around!</td></tr>

This painting has a beautiful story behind it. You may recognize it as the iconic bridge at Monet's Garden in Giverny, France. But to the new owners of this painting, it has much more personal significance. I created it as a wedding gift for a friend of mine, Charles Needle. He's a nature photographer and leads workshops all around the world.<br />
<br />
Back in about late 2006, we spoke about the possibility of teaching workshops in Monet's Garden. Shortly thereafter, he started teaching photography workshops there and I began teaching painting workshops there too. On one of his workshops, he met Missy, a photography student. They became friends and over time evolved into a deeper relationship.<br />
<br />
Last year, Charles arranged to propose marriage to Missy on Monet's bridge- an inspired and romantic gesture, commemorating where it all began for them. This week, I am honored to attend their wedding. I created this painting as a gift for Charles and Missy, so that each day in their home they would have a visible reminder of their love story.<br />
<br />
Congratulations Charles & Missy and may you live happily ever after!Pat Fiorellohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17178132860124961415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288537628667197027.post-50878249501169305182019-07-01T16:52:00.002-04:002019-07-01T16:54:00.225-04:00Azalea Season<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This was a demo/paint along for my beginning oil painting students at a recent workshop at The Bascom Center for Visual arts in Highlands NC. On the first day we reviewed oil painting supplies and did exercises for color mixing and value control. On day 2, we were ready to apply those fundamentals to a small landscape painting- a scene from Callaway Gardens in Springtime.<br />
<br />
Before jumping in to the color painting, I had students do an 8 x 10 painting of the scene in just black, white and gray so they understood the value structure of the design before getting "distracted" by color. Then they did an 8 x 10 in color.<br />
Below are some of the steps along the way to see how this painting unfolded. Worked on a toned canvas, progressing from dark shapes to light, large shapes to small, thin paint to thicker.<br />

Two of my favorite things, flowers and urns. I especially love to paint them together. I've been painting flower since the start- 25 years ago. Have painted many landscapes as well, but even those scenes usually include some flowers for some bright, clean color.<br />
<br />
This month marks the 25th anniversary of when I started painting (as an adult- other than my elementary school experience). To celebrate, I'm going to be sharing how I got started painting and some highlights over the years, as well as a special offer for my followers during the week of 6/15-6/21.<br />
<br />
All this will be announced via my newsletter.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spring is in full bloom in Atlanta. My husband cut these beautiful hydrangeas for me from our garden and I arranged them in the studio. The set up is below. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "Garden Hydrangeas" is my interpretation of this arrangement.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately I've been concentrating my art on more of how I feel. It's more important to have a painting that feels alive and shows the paint quality with expressive brushstrokes than to paint exactly what's there. It's freeing to just paint what I want to be there and how I feel about it. I've summed that up in a new statement of my artistic voice: "Classic Beauty. Alive with Color, Paint and Passion." This is what excites me about painting and what I want my paintings to convey.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Celebration!<br />16 x 20 Oil Painting<br />by Pat Fiorello<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> I've been really doing a lot of introspection lately on my authentic artistic voice and what I want more of or less of in my art. I've been clear for a long time on the subject matter that speaks to my heart - flowers, gardens, beautiful romantic or lush, sunny places, like Italy, Bermuda, France. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"> This year is my 25th anniversary of when I began my artistic journey and it almost feels like it was an accident, but I know that it was revealed to me as part of my true path and purpose to "create a world of beauty, love and inspiration". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So I know pretty much what I want to paint and why I want to paint it, but now focusing on the how. Not the "how" as in basic foundational /technical skills. But "how" in terms of expression. The main areas I want to focus on now are having my paintings feeling alive- having what I'll call "A Life Force" and having visual interest thru paint quality, thick paint, rich, exciting color and visible, expressive, luscious brushstrokes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So this was the first painting where I was really clear on focusing on those things and letting go of some old concerns of drawing and getting things "right". It was really freeing and exciting so I am committed to exploring this path for now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I consider this painting a "breakthrough painting", one in which you take a clear jump forward. I called it "Celebration" as both a celebration of the joy of flowers and a celebration of my own progress and growth over the past 25 years of creating art.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Below are photos of the initial idea sketched in my hotel room on their pad ( I was on a trip to Melbourne), the approximate set up ( didn't have all the real subject materials so had silk flower "stand-ins"), some of the progression shots along the way and some brushstroke close-ups.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thanks for you interest in my art!</span><br />

I participated in a Plein Air in Sautee Georgia event this weekend with over 40 other artists. We had to get our canvases date stamped sometime after 7:30 am and then turn in one or more framed paintings of the Sautee Valley area by 4pm for a show opening and awards ceremony at 5pm.<br />
<br />
"Top of the Falls" was the 2nd painting I did that day in the afternoon. It is of York Falls in the Skylake community. I have painted waterfalls before from photos, but I think this might have been the first time I painted any falls on location. Not only do you have to contend with the changing light conditions, but the patterns of the water are constantly moving. So it was a challenge to say the least.<br />
<br />
I was very delighted to hear my name called twice at the awards ceremony. Once for a Merit Award of Excellence and a second time for the Patron purchase award. The painting was purchased by a local couple who live at Skylake and have fond memories of the waterfall since their grandkids love to go there.<br />
<br />
Below are some photo's with the new owners of this painting.<br />

Wrapping up a 10 day painting workshop in New Zealand. Had students in a variety of mediums so I did demonstrations in both oil and watercolor. This was a watercolor demo that I gave to Di, a local New Zealander, who was our van driver to help us get around to painting sites and other cultural excursions. Di went above and beyond so I decided to give it to her as a special thank you card. Below are some photos from the workshop experience. Working off an iPhone and shaky WiFi so not able to share too much at the moment.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This painting was done as a demonstration painting at my recent "Oil Painting Basics" workshop.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The group was comprised of mostly people who had never painted in oils or never painted at all before so we started with the basics- materials, color mixing, value control, creating form, black & white and color studies and then brought it all together painting this landscape step by step.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are the steps in the process- placement, the block in (starting to lay in the darkest shape, adding in the middle values, bringing in the next lightest value and then ending with the lightest lights). Once the entire canvas was covered, the block in is complete. Then the final stage is refinement or fine tuning shapes, colors, values and edges.</div>

For many centuries, artists have studied and copied the masters to build their own skills. In "copying" a masterpiece, you attempt to reverse engineer and figure out ,"how did they do that"? Or maybe more accurately, how can I make marks and use my knowledge of drawing, values, colors and edges to simulate what another artist created. A caveat is that doing this it that it must be solely for learning purposes. It is not ethical to sell or enter a show with art that is copied from another artist - whether living or not.<br />
<br />
Today's learning exercise was to create a painting inspired by this gorgeous painting by Frans Mortelmans, 1865-1936. Although not as well know as some of the other expert floral artists, like Fantin-Latour, Mortelmans did leave an exceptional body of work (including other genres beyond florals as well).<br />
<br />
This is one of my favorites of his, so I decided to give it a shot. My aim was not so much to replicate it exactly, stroke for stroke, but to paint it using similar colors, shapes and values so I could get a sense of how he was interpreting the scene before him. In painting from another painting, someone has already taken the 3 dimensional world and translated it into the language of paint, so the hard part has already been done for you, but nevertheless there is value to painting it to understand that interpretation.<br />
<br />
Below are the steps I took in creating my version of Mortlemans' painting.<br />

Attended a wonderful workshop given by artist Daniel Keys at the Scottsdale Artists School last week. It's tough to get into his workshops so I was grateful to finally have the opportunity to study with him and I was not disappointed. We painted from life each day. Below are photos from day 1. I did not complete this painting in class, but since I had the photo's was able to finish it back in my studio.<br />
<br />
The focus of the workshop was on the fundamentals of painting: Drawing, Values, Color and Edges. Sounds simple. But takes a lifetime to master.<br />

As the 2018 holiday season ends, the celebrations are complete and we put away all our decorations, my wish for you is that the spirit of the holidays- love, generosity and wonder, with a touch of magic thrown in- stay with you each and every day throughout the coming year.

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Been busy with holiday and year end activities this month so I haven't been posting to the blog as much, but I have been painting with a focus on still life this month. Gather 'Round above is the latest of these paintings. Some of the others completed this month are below. All are available on my <a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/artists/pat-fiorello-2105/artwork">Daily Paintworks</a> gallery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /> One of my intentions for 2019 is to do more still life paintings incorporating props I've purchased over the years for still life set ups but have yet to paint. I have a whole book case filled with props of all sizes, colors and surfaces and many of them have yet to make their painting debut. So stay tuned for some new inspiration in the coming year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thank you for following along on my blog. I appreciate your interest in my artwork.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Best wishes for a very happy holiday season and may 2019 be your best year yet!</span><br />

I had observed these beautiful roses in what looks like a parking lot. I liked the shapes and pattern of light and shadow, but decided to use some "artistic license" to transform the parking lot into a garden scene.<br />
