Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Painting

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is an original oil painting by Clina Polloni.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse NC

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse NC

“With its black and white stripes, the emerald and blue colors of the Atlantic Ocean was an inspiration and an addition to the collection of oil paintings that I am doing of North Carolina.”

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest in the United States, stands 208 feet (63 m) from the bottom of the foundation to the peak of the roof. Protecting one of the most treacherous stretches of the Outer Banks, NC.

Oil on Canvas 24”x 36”.

This painting, cards and postcards are FOR SALE at The Little ART Gallery inside the Cotton Company in Wake Forest NC.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

  1. Start by drawing the lighthouse in its original place.
  2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic gold and silver. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. They create a worm color that once you put the oils in the top, they look brighter.

1800s Vineyards House PaintingI was born and raised in Chile, and in my memories, I remember country roads, traveling with my family through the beautiful vineyards land in the foot hills of the Chilean mountains.

This painting is inspired by a Chilean song:

“Si vas para Chile”

Te ruego que pases por donde vive mi amada
Es una casita muy linda y chiquita
Que esta en las faldas de un cerro enclavada

La adornan las palmas y cruza un estero
Al frente hay un sauce que llora, que llora
Porque yo la quiero
Si vas para Chile te ruego viajero
Le digas a ella que de amor me muero

El pueblito se llama Las Condes
Y esta junto a los cerros y al cielo
Y si miras de lo alto hacia el valle lo veras que lo baña un estero
Campesinos y gentes del pueblo te saldrán al encuentro viajero
Y veras como quieren en chile al amigo cuando es forastero

Esta pintura esta inspirada por esta canción Chilena.

White Adobe Church Painting

Learn to paint an old country church.

Painting Class Taught by Clina Polloni.

This painting was inspired by my life in Rabones, a valley of dreams located in the mountains of the central region of Chile.

White Adobe Church in Chile

White Adobe Church in Chile

I lived for 10 years in our farm called “Las Puertas de Rabones”. I was close to God, to people, nature and to animals. Memories of golden sunny days, enjoying the company of beautiful people with spirits as clear as the crystal waters of “Rio Putagan” running through the fertile land. I learned about their culture, their traditions and the purity of their lives.
