Valley Lookout by Robert Ferrucci

Robert Ferrucci's paintings depict America’s land, barns, farms and the serenity of country living. Influenced by the vanishing open spaces, farms and barns of the Hudson Valley and New England, Ferrucci translates the feeling and emotions that surround the subject, time and place. He captures the peace, serenity and simplicity mixed with strong landscapes, old homes, barns and faded images of fields and mountains. He combines soft quiet areas with a strong central image. His paintings are filled with muted colors, diffused images and a primitive simplicity, a contemporary style of American Folk Art. He puts part of himself in his paintings as influenced by 45 years of formal education, a lifetime of paintings experience and experimentation. Many of Bob’s paintings are from a different perspective. They seem to be painted from an aerial view. They can give you a feeling of being safe as if someone is looking down on the land from above.

"I like to paint in a way that will allow others to see and feel some of what I see. It’s an American style of simplicity, serenity, the strength of the land, a child like innocence and the bold country life." says Ferrucci.

He has studied at the New York city Art Student’s League and the Pan American Art School in Manhattan. While working in the graphic art and publishing industry, he also painted for galleries and private commissions. He later studied with Gilbert Stone, a prominent illustrator and professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His paintings have been shown in galleries both in Connecticut and New York.

Twilight by Robert Ferrucci

Round Church Road by Robert Ferrucci

The color photography of Karl LaLonde is an exploration of the beauty of old trucks. America has had a love affair with trucks, an important part of America’s nostalgic culture. Capturing the aging beauty, the rust, the old lights, the fading colors, has become his passion.

Karl travels with his camera through towns photographing these beauties, each different with their unique look & styles.

Karl LaLonde is a photographer and a painter, living most of his life here in the Hudson valley. In high school he learned how to take pictures and the love affair continues today.  He attended Dutchess Community College for Commercial art and BARD for photography. IBM offered him a job and he started working for them as an artist in their TV Studio in the sixties. He was directing and producing productions by age 24 and won several international TV awards. By 30 he was art directing. All this time, outside of the corporation, he was photographing, painting and showing, capturing the beauty of old trucks and the nature around us.

Hudson River Vista by Linda T. Hubbard

Towns are different with their unique look & styles.  Always at their beginning or at the edge there are junkyards taking care of the old until their recycled end.

Trucks and cars; tired and retired from there tasks lay dormant with their own memories of the heroic deeds.  For many years they have accomplished impossible tasks for man.  Their memories are starting to fade like the color on their skin.

Trucks, the modern work horses are the heroes we’ve used, wore out and left in a field to retire.  These steel marvels are more beautiful now than when shiny and new.   Amazing what time can do to metal and paint.  How the brilliant colors are homogenized with rust. 

There is beauty in their patina, history and in their engine hearts.    …………………………Karl LaLonde

 

 

Linda T. Hubbard is a photographer who is a native of New England and also loves her home in the Hudson River Valley and loves to travel.  "I love to capture the beauty, peace and serenity of nature - the sunlight on the mountains, the incredible detail of a flower, the glorious colors of the sun setting over the river. I also love to include an element of architecture, a chair, something that states how humans and nature interrelate" 

 Her photographs bring back memories of a favorite place or a time of joy and happiness. They take you to a places that you would like to be, a season that warms and cheers you, or a peaceful setting that soothes your soul. The photographs can enhance your home or office, be a special gift for various occasions or be a remembrance of a special place.

Sunny Afternoon by Linda T. Hubbard

Mary Ann Glass brings an inquiring, admiring eye to the world’s odd and beautiful things. Her photography has been described as being spiritual and sensual, serious and elegant. Upon graduating from the summer intensive program at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana, Ms. Glass left her corporate job to settle with her cat and her Nikons in the Hudson Valley as a full-time photographer. She sells her work throughout the tri-state area. She is one of the owners of RiverWinds Gallery in Beacon, a gallery store featuring more than 40 artists from the region. Mary Ann is also one of two principals in fete accompli, a premier wedding and event photography firm that combines fine art photography with photojournalism. Virginia Donovan has found a passion in painting she never anticipated. She began to paint to ‘help a friend’ by enrolling one of her classes and found that art changed her life profoundly. "Painting feeds my love of travel and vice versa. My sense of place deepens dramatically when I can immerse myself for a few hours, analyze what draws me to a particular spot and paint from the heart. I can feel the wind, recall the soft sweet smell of the grasses, remember the old man walking his dog as I treasure my paintings done en plein air. Even studio work allows me to revisit a special place from a plein air study and become so engrossed in my work that I can almost put myself into the painting. Each work has encouraged me, challenged me and rewarded me all at the same time."

Burano Canal - pastel by Linda Richichi

Linda Holmes Richichi is an evocative Plein Air Colorist. Whether painting in the breathtaking Hudson Valley or near castles in Tuscany, her vision is to capture the brilliance of creation and a love of life.  "Setting up the easel "en plein air" (outdoors in open air) allows me to incorporate all the senses in order to capture what cannot be seen. Intuition leads the way.  Rather than focusing on the details and individual parts of the scene, attention is given to the space between forms. It is in this space that energy is felt which describes the mood of the piece." Linda’s educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art from SUNY New Paltz and years of study with many modern masters including Arthur Sarnoff at the Boca Raton Museum of Art in FL, Susan Goetz in NY, John Phillip Osborne at the Ridgewood Art Institute in NJ and classes at the Art Students League in New York City. Linda is the recipient of numerous awards, including several for best of show. She was included in the International Artist Magazine under Master Painters of the World, Pastel Showcase in the Jan. 2005 issue and was critiqued favorably by art critic Raymond J. Steiner, ART TIMES. She has also taught "plein air" pastel painting in Tuscany, Italy. Linda Richichi is a juried associate member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA), a member with Signature Status in the International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) and the New York Plein Air Painters (NYPAP), a founding member of the Portrait Society of America, and a charter member of the Landscape Artists International

Allison is founder and principal of rsvp ITALIA which specializes in educational and cultural travel programs in Italy. A former professor of Environmental Design with a graduate degree in Renaissance Art and Architectural History earned in Florence, Allison lectures on art, architecture, villas, and gardens both in Italy and the United States.

Morning Meadow - 16 x 20 oil by Virginia Donovan

Virginia Donovan has found a passion in painting she never anticipated. She began to paint to ‘help a friend’ by enrolling one of her classes and found that art changed her life profoundly. "Painting feeds my love of travel and vice versa. My sense of place deepens dramatically when I can immerse myself for a few hours, analyze what draws me to a particular spot and paint from the heart.

Even studio work allows me to revisit a special place from a plein air study and become so engrossed in my work that I can almost put myself into the painting. Each work has encouraged me, challenged me and rewarded me all at the same time."

"Waterscapes"

May 16 through August 15, 2006

 

A. G. Edwards & Sons of Rhinebeck and RiverWinds Gallery of Beacon announce their new show - "Waterscapes"  at the AGEdwards offices in Rhinebeck. Water is soothing and calming, and the show's artists have captured the different moods and tones of the ocean, lakes, marshes and rivers. 

The show features fine art prints by Alison Shaw and Oils and Pastels by Eline Barclay.  Also features in the show are oils by Virginia Donovan and photographs by Jo Barker, MaryAnn Glass, Taylor Hallman and Linda Hubbard. 

 Alison Shaw   Lagoon   Fine Art Print  18 x 19

The paintings of Eline Barclay explore the essence and mood of water and the natural world around it. The artist is concerned with early morning and twilight as well as weather - stormy skies, foreboding clouds, gossamer fog. She captures mood and atmosphere, with a touch of mystery without being nostalgic. The Cornwall-on-Hudson native recently moved to Addison, Maine. Her paintings reflect her love of the wetland and tidal marshes of both the Hudson River region and Maine. Her response to nature is somewhere between the naturalistic and the romantic. Eline blends her oils and pastels seamlessly with an ethereal quality. Her work reflects a world of quiet solitude captured with a light atmospheric touch.

Eline has had solo and group shows throughout the Dutchess, Orange and Ulster Counties and several galleries in Maine. She has a degree in Fine Arts from SUNY, New Paltz, NY and is part of corporate and private collections around the world.

Alison Shaw is a reknown photographer from Martha’s Vineyard. She has a profound understanding of natural light. Often using very long exposures, these lush, almost abstract images taken from the shoreline are taken with traditional film cameras and using transparency or slide film. Ms. Shaw has exhibited her photographs in one-woman shows at more than 15 galleries throughout the United States. Over 4,000 of her photographs are in corporate and private collections throughout the U. S. and Europe. Several books have also been published of her photographs.

Her photography has appeared nationally in numerous newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, Time, Smithsonian, Nikon World, and Yankee magazine. Alison teaches photography workshops in Italy, Canada and New England for Maine Photographic Workshops and Rocky Mountain School of Photography.

Anne Lantelme’s fascination with Oriental brush painting began with a course focusing on Zen philosophy as the inspirational force of this ancient art. She has studied under Sensei (teacher) Koho Yamamoto, the leading sumi-e artist of New York City since 1994. She has attended individual classes, always using ink that is freshly ground by hand, silently as she prepares to paint. "I’m intrigued with what lies inside a subject - the energy, the emotion, the essence - and portraying it with the utmost simplicity." Anne has studied at Parsons School of Design and Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She has designed, produced and sold: one-of-a-kind handbags, pillows and soft boxes and painted furniture specializing in faux-finishes. She is a board member of the Oriental Brush Artists Guild ()BAG) at the Hammond Museum, North Salem, New York. She is a member of the Oriental Brush Artist Guild, Sumi-E Society of America and the Catskill Art Society. She has displayed and sold paintings in galleries throughout New York including the Lunar New Year Festival 2003, Chinatown in New York City.
