Gifts and Gratitude

I started out thinking I must do something different than a gratitude list post. Everyone will be doing that this week on blogs. Then I received Alyson Stanfield's list and it warmed my heart. In following with her list, here's to a heart warming week filled with the gifts of family, friends and gratitude.

Florida International Magazine Art and Design Issue lists Robin Maria Pedrero

I am excited to be featured in Florida International Magazine's Art and Design issue in Omar Sommereyns' Florida Artist Showcase and in the FIM's Hall of Fame. The feature includes emerging and established artists.

FIM REACHES an upscale, educated and well-traveled consumer, showcasing
only the highest quality editorial content and advertisers. The state of Florida
plays an integral role in the global economy, boasting over 800 million
consumers.

I am on p.68. You can browse this month's issue page by page here http://www.floridainternationalmag.com/index-content.html

My friend Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson told me about the magazine request. They asked for a studio shot, (the one above was sent) a head shot, bio and a piece of work to be submitted in consideration for this issue. I was told hundreds of artists sent in materials. I found out I was in the magazine last night at 3rd Thursday at the City Arts Factory at Consuelo's exhibit when Donna Dowless exclaimed "THE famous Robin Maria Pedrero!" I just smiled and she congratulated me, then inquired "You don't know?" Then she told me and friends Keith Theriot, Dawn, Cheryl, Dianne and Brianna about the feature. I'll never forget this!

"The Maitland Art Center was founded as an art colony in 1937 by visionary American artist and architect André Smith (1880-1959)." One of my most favorite places to visit! Truly a "gem set in the middle of busy Central Florida" . I enjoy the chapel, (I've attended weddings and receptions here) the grounds, studios, the exhibits, and the Center is filled with a fantastic staff.

Rejuvenate

Here's a peek at a recent piece which I am pleased to present. There are numerous layers of fauna, flowers, lights, shadows, birds, trees, butterflies, snails, fruits and foliage floating throughout this fall piece. I painted with ochres, golds, rusts, blues, turquoise, teals, olives, greens, burnt siennas, earthy browns, crimsons, plums, and grays.

I bought some more 30 x30s which I can't wait to splash color on!

Autumn Arrived

These pieces are at Gallery 1792 Winter Prk FLMy inspiration for these pieces above is the dusky, crisp, autumnal scents, breezes, and colors; rusts, earth tones, crimson, golds, and teals. I tried to capture the essence of fall emerging in various places, by the sea, in the woods, in a park, in our backyards.


One of the interesting aspects of autumn in central Florida is that it comes suddenly. It's hot then slightly cooler and a few trees have leaves turn brown and fall to the ground. Although I like my chosen climate, my eyes seek out the hint of colors like a northern change of season. I refresh by changing my decor, place out my metal corn stalks, metal turkey sculpture (he's really cool!), move my art collection amidst the rooms, add new pieces, change my flowers.... evoking the earthy harvest season. I took these photos when the artworks were slightly wet, so there are some reflections on the paint. Now these pieces are dry to the touch and ready to enhance an area in your space.
