STILL LIFE EXHIBIT UP UNTIL NOVEMBER 30th COME AND SEE IT!!!

Hey guys...it's Loren here.  I wanted to share that my show will be up until November 30th if you are interested in seeing it?  Christopher's has great food so a lunch date would be super there  If you are new to my blog site, then I will go over details.   

        Christopher's:A Neighborhood Place  

 335 E. Kings Street

 Malvern, PA  19355

 (610) 568-4127

There is a train stop  MALVERN ,  very close to Christopher's.  It's about 1/4 -1/2 a mile from train stop.  If you can make it, the show looks very beautiful with 16 still life paintings in oil,  all on one high wall and you won't be disappointed.

RECEPTION

Reception on Monday evening was very joyful and organizing the rides from Center City Philadelphia, went smoothly.  My instructor John from my painting class at Fleisher Art Memorial and his wife Lynne attended and it was such an honor. They seemed to enjoy themselves and I was grateful.  My bro Ken came all the way from New Jersey shore and I was very happy about that.  He had a lot of fun as I was too.  Also, it seemed like everyone really was having a good time and conversation was nonstop.  We were all carrying on chatting about this and that and then I was subtly coaxed into telling some thing personal and funny about what another male student in his late eighties had said to me in the elevator one day.  Everyone cracked up and I was finding it funny as well.  Normally, I do not talk about personal things in public, but this was too funny to leave on the floor!  Too much to tell on blog, but trust me.  It was hysterical.

I on the other hand had a little bit of a medical crisis. (too embarrassing to tell the gruesome details) however, I will tell that I cut the side of my foot and I could not stop the bleeding. I wound up rigging a pad to go over cut and put tight new white socks on.  The way I fashioned it, it worked to stop the bleeding, however, I could not wear shoes or boots.  So I put on a funky pair of sandals and they looked pathetic but they did what I needed them to do.

By the time I got to Christopher's, the pain went down some and bleeding stopped.  Thank goodness.  Foot is getting better.

Thanks to everyone who came out to reception.  It is heartfelt!

Cheers,

Loren

NEW LANDSCAPES POSTED ON BLOG

'THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE'           28x22       acrylic on canvas   (c) Loren Fidalgo 2016

Hey guys...it's Loren here.  I'm posting to let you know that I have listed some landscapes and water scapes on my blog.
   
I'm excited about this new body of work.  It is a subject matter that I was not familiar with and I love working on these paintings.  I have been experimenting with lots of texture and loads of color. Reflections, light, skies and water are some of the elements in these paintings.  Dark and light are also revealed.. All paintings are painted with a palette knife which is how I achieve the textural effects and marks..  No brush.I have been using a palette knife for a long time now and I have now begun using my palette knife as a brush, moving it and the paint around the canvas. There a lot of energy and emotion in these pieces, which I really love the process of painting them.

I am enjoying this new body of work.  It is a subject matter that I was not familiar with and I love working on these paintings.

Stay tuned in because there are more landscapes coming soon.
Cheers,
Loren

MORE STILL LIFE PAINTINGS ON MY BLOG

These are two paintings below,  that I've done in a yellow ochre, black and burnt sienna color palette.  I've mentioned that I love this color palette.  It is limiting in some ways and freeing in other ways.  When I only have three colors to use, there is not much thinking or decision making that bogs me down.  I've found that each color has a purpose and needs to be there when I am only using three colors.

To see more of my paintings in my portfolio, check out my Portfolio  Page.

SOME NEWS...
I wanted to mention that I will soon be posting the details about my head injury 3 years ago and how I began painting and working in mixed media after it.  Keep checking back to see when I post the "story".

NEW STILL LIFE PAINTINGS ADDED TO BLOG

I wanted to share some more paintings that I've done.

I hope you enjoy these paintings below in yellow ochre, black and burnt sienna.  Intially, when I started some of these paintings I did not like the color combination.  I've always created art that is full of color and saturation so these colors were a real challenge for me.  Now, I love this way of painting.  I love seeing if I can truely represent the colors of the still life I am looking at with just the three colors

This painting below is very textured with thick paint in the flowers.  I love to paint with texture and with a pallette knife.

Hello, and welcome to my blog.
Well, I have finally posted some paintings on my blog. I wanted to post them as a group on my Portfolio page, however I had to load them one at a time.   So, to view them, go to Portfolio and scroll down the page. They are just some of my paintings in still life subject matter. I will be posting more paintings soon and they will be more still lifes and a whole bunch of fantasy paintings.

Hopefully, I will be able to figure out how to put my paintings up in a group. Until then, I will post them up one at a time. If anyone knows exactly how to do this, please fill me in. I will be so grateful!
