Casa de Paja
A straw farm house painting in Chile by Clina Polloni.
In the early years of Chile, even in the 1800’s, farmers planted their wheat in the fields. This was one of their most important sources of food. They baked their bread in an open fire, prepared mote con huesillos and other culinary dishes. And when the harvest was all over, they built their thatched houses with straw.
I did this painting from a sketch that my great grandfather, Antonio Polloni did when traveling and painting the country side of Chile in the 1800’s.
Oil on Canvas – 36”x 30”
Exhibitions of the “Casa de Paja” painting:
- Dunn Center for the Performing Arts, North Carolina Wesleyan College. 2016 Christmas Art Show at The Civic Gallery.
- At the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre for the Arts hosted the inaugural Wake Forest Guild of Artists and Wake Forest ARTS Art Exhibit on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016.
- At the Delta Fine Arts Gallery. HISPANIC ARTS INITIATIVE, Punto de Vista, Latino Perspective IV. At the Winston-Salem Delta Arts Center.
Clina Polloni is a contemporary artist born in Chile, winner of the Franklin County Art Council, NC. 2017 Artist Award. Her oil paintings are inspired by her love for people, animals and nature. Her new project: “The motif of the human figure in a dialogue with natures light and colors.” In these new paintings she is portraying people in their environment and activities, representing the American and Hispanic Culture.

Blue Door in a Log Cabin
Painting Class Taught by Artist Clina Polloni.
A log cabin with a blue door embraced by a pink bougainvillea from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
This is a simple paint designed for the painting classes.
Instructions of how to do this painting:
- Start by drawing the log cabin, the door, the chair and finally the bougainvillea. Put attention to the interesting shapes of the old wood.
- Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of silver acrylic and white. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are drawing with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting. The imprimatura is an initial stain of color painted on the canvas. It provides a transparent, toned ground, which will allow light falling onto the painting to reflect through the paint layers.
Progression, start painting in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:
- Using oils or acrylics, start painting the log cabin. Continue with the door, chair and stone floor.
- Paint the bougainvillea in the top.
- Sign your work of art.
Supply: This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics.

The Market Girl, Oil painting of Hispanic Culture.
by Clina Polloni, 18”x 24”.
In the Hispanic culture it is a tradition to go to the market, where the local people bring their fresh fruits, vegetables and craft. This girl is proud to show her flowers and vegetables with her colorful hand netted ponchos in the back.
I did this painting when I went to Ecuador. Inspired by their colorful art and culture, very similar to most of the countries in South America. People live in the cosmopolitan cities surrounded by malls and a variety of today’s modern stores. But the beautiful thing is that they preserve their culture in the market.

Seascape, Aurora in a Silver Ocean.
