The Harvest Festival
I wanted to show you 2 works of a friend of mine who is a Naive artist from Naples, Italy. Maria is so prolific. She is always turning out new paintings. The Harvest Festival is an annual event in Naples.
Purple Tree by Cesare Marchesini
I found this artists’ work while looking online at paintings of flowers. This purple tree works so well.
Just a little diversion from my usual posts. Nice to include work of other artists.
Thank you Susan! My paintings that you find on FB are not everyones made now, but during my life. I have been painting during all my life. I started to have art shows on 1978. Many paintings that you see are no more of mine; I just saved pics of them … Painting is my passion, I love the gorgeous colours of Autumn and I feel alive everytime I create. Colour, light, mood and atmosphere are main elements to archieve my paints … Painting is like fire in the spirit to me. I can’t wait to meet you at Katowice!
I know Maria. I have been painting since 1975. I love that you continue to find joy in painting and the power of painting in your life. See you in June.
Painting is happyness and serenity in my spirit … I strive for luminosity in my paintings … I paint, day after day, finding joy with paints and brushes …If you seek the truth in my art, you will not find it. For me, painting is freedom: freedom of existence, vision, thought, and emotion. This freedom of the imagination does not fit inside the lines. I resist having my work compared to that of other artists or classified as belonging to a particular school. The artistic expression of my work is born of instinct, personal experience and my transposition of real life. Lights, images, and colours create the language of the fantastic world in which I often seek shelter, perhaps to escape to my own personal vision of truth. Images, lights, colours, memories, emotions, wishes, and visions all crowd the realm of my consciousness. My painting is the expression of this inner world of dreams and fantasies, a world that takes me beyond the breathlessness of everyday life.
Thank you Susan for this beautiful post!
