| Summer Bouquet 12 x 16 Oil Painting by Pat Fiorello |
I spent most of 2011, focused on painting florals and still life. I painted over 150 paintings, including completing my "floral challenge" of 50 floral studies ( all are posted on my blog in the 2011 archives approximately August-October), got a certification in floral design after completing a program at the Halls School of Floral Design in Atlanta, and studied with some artists who I consider to be masters, especially with the subject of flowers including Robert Johnson, Nancy Franke and Hedi Moran.
I have always loved flowers and that was one of the subjects I first was drawn to when I started painting nearly 18 years ago but in recent years I'd been doing many more landscapes. I learned even my family name "Fiorello" means "one who lives near a wall of flowers" so it's probably no accident I'm drawn to surround myself and others with flowers.
I have taught flower painting classes in watercolor for many years, but in 2012, I will be offering my first oil painting workshop "Painting Flowers Alla Prima in Oil" at the Art School in Sandy Springs. It will be on Sat. & Sun. March 17 & 18.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, I see you are a fellow flower lover. Looking forward to the Spring when all those colors start to pop up in the garden again.
