Workshop Week

Workshop this week in Milford, PA. To see some of Barbara's photos from the week, visit her blog, Life with Peter.

First Place, ARC Salon

Winter Storm Clearing, oil/linen, 30x40

Winter Storm Clearing has been awarded First Place in Landscape in the Art Renewal Center's Annual Salon. This painting is all about waiting and being patient. I stood at this location on an overcast winter afternoon (see Life With Peter), freezing and shivering, hoping that the sun would break through the overcast sky. Magically, the sun cooperated and peaked through the clouds to illumniate this field which created this dramatic play of light that I found most inspiring. This magic moment lasted than 20 seconds, then the sun dipped behind the clouds and it was gone for the day. Available through Travis Gallery.

Painting demo, Bucks County PA

Just finished up a busy week of teaching painting, now it's back to painting. To see some of the photos from the week, visit Barbara's blog Life with Peter.

Weekend Workshop

Talking about color

I just completed a 2 day workshop in Washington, CT. Barbara has posted some photos on her blog, Life with Peter. There is still space available in my upcoming workshop in Bucks County, PA. Visit my website for more information, peterfiore.com.

Working on The Cathedral

Beauty From the Beast

The soot filled beast

Quelling the beast

Beauty restored

I've been dealing with a 6 week disaster of epic proportions. My entire studio was the victim of a disastrous kerosene heater debacle. The space was completely filled with soot -- that is all 3 levels including my paintings in storage, not to mention hundreds of photos, books, supplies, photography equipment, computers and 28 years worth of illustration from my previous life. I have been dealing with the clean up ever since with the help of ServPro. Without them, this beast would live on. The clean up will continue deep into the future as we work our way through stacks of paintings. The end is insight and I'm looking forward to resuming painting. I remember I painted at one time.

Finalist

Rising Son, oil/panel, 36x36

"Rising Son" is a finalist in the Raymar Art 5th Annual Fine Art Competition. Judge Robert Lemler commented as follows, "I am knocked out by this painting. It has a clarity of atmosphere that is very appealing. The strong complimentary colors, sharp value contrasts, interesting brushwork and well suggested detail make this painting very striking! Don’t miss the beautiful variation in the color temperature of the snow..."

Painting Workshop

A clip from my painting workshop last fall

I am teaching a painting workshop near my home in Milford, PA this summer, August 2011. The details are now available on my website at www.peterfiore.com. This 5 day intensive studio workshop will focus on the essentials of painting: design, value structure, color and paint quality. Working from your own photo reference, you will learn how to control light, key your paintings and create good value structures so that you can achieve the specific feeling or mood you are after to fill your paintings with light and energy.

This workshop is open to all skill levels, styles and all media are welcome. There will be a welcome dinner on sunday evening and I hope to include a tour of my studio and share this area of Pennsylvania where I find so much inspiration. Space is limited, so if you would like to reserve a space, please let me know as soon as possible.
