Continuum May 13, 2010 at The Steinway

Continuum

In Continuum, artist Robin Maria Pedrero presents works of art that infuse color and design to illustrate the timelessness of nature and love. Using opaque and transparent painted layers and selective ink drawn contours she shows how thoughts triggered by senses can take us on a visual journey connecting present perceptions, past experiences and future musings. A “Meet the Artist” wine/cheese/jazz reception will be May, 13, 2010 6 to 8 pm. Admission is free.

BIG BRUSHES

painting a large 48 x 48" canvas

so large it is on 2 tables...

in the center of my studio.

Here's a peek at 3 of the crows in a row

3 crows in a row. You've been introduced to two, the one in the center is nicknamed Percy..

"Perseverance"

Blackbird and Berries New Spring Work

"Blackbird and Berries"

Acrylic and india ink 8x8" (original sold)

Today I placed bird feeders in my yard,

testing a new one that is made to keep squirrels

from devouring all of the food. I heard the crows

cawing as they roosted in the tops of a few trees.

Edgar Allen Poe. The Birds. Indian Totems.

 Crows and blackbirds have a history of being the muse,

the legends, wise or mischievous,

they evoke a curiosity.

Interlude by Robin Maria Pedrero

"Interlude"

8x8" Acrylic and Ink $80

I enjoy design. I like black silhouttes, like rod iron, and black lace.

Ginger Tea complete

"Ginger Tea"

I like the loose transparent layers with dreamy images

filling the canvas. What no birds? No flowers?

Not this time. I like it as is.

Ginger in progress

WET  PAINT

 I went for tea at my friend Lee's,

and Max and her dog Jack played together

(both black and white AND too funny we each were wearing black and white)

I was inspired to paint plants, fruits and foliage

as my friend and I walked about her property.

"Ginger Tea" is inspiration in progress.

Brushes

Some of my favorite brushes are my sumi-e Chinese bamboo brushes. Larger brushes for my larger canvases were on my supply list and I was quite fortunate while visiting Savannah Georgia to have found the most incredible Chinese brushes made of sheep, fox, wolf, and she wolf with handles of bamboo, and ceramic.

They are just magical!

Now that is white!

White. Fresh. Blank. Clean. New. Potential.

Ready. Excited.

Flat and Upright

I work on acrylics flat on tables and on my studio floor.

These are pieces after a few sessions of painting,

having dried I place them upright

to give myself a fresh perspective,

before I continue with more layers. I let the colors

 simmer and suddenly in my minds eye

new life forms.

Your art kind of changes as you get older, by nature of the fact that you're hopefully gaining wisdom and you're starting to watch things with a better overview. Sheryl Crow

The FIM Issues arrived

They told me it was their hottest selling issue, that's why I could not find a copy nor receive any til now.
Hooray! The issue in Florida International Design with me in the Florida Artist Hall of Fame 2009!

SCAN DESIGN

Hope to see you at the ORLANDO

 reception where my piece

"Welcome Home" will be exhibited.

Happiness Is

"Happiness" was the reoccurring thought that came to mind 

in creating this piece, so it gained the title.

This is an 8 x 8" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

This is the 4th piece in my Spring 2010 series.

This piece is $80.
