Clina Becker My Mother

It has been a very sad year for Chile after the continues destruction by communist terrorist. We thank to God that the family is fine. My mother is stable and with a very positive spirit. Enjoying our company when we are able to go to Chile.

We took the granddaughters Summer, Autumn and Melissa to historical sites of North Carolina to learn about the history of our state and about their ancestors. Visited their graves and plantations.

I have to be thankful to my students, they had brought me great happiness seeing their accomplishments and paintings.

The painting in the top is the “Children Sleigh Ride” inspired by my husband Thom’s three children Thommy, Patricia and James, playing in the snow when they were small. Joyful days of growing up in their beautiful farm in Franklinton, North Carolina.

God bless you on this Holiday Season of 2019 and bring you lots of happiness for 2020,

Thom and Clina

A nuestra querida familia y amigos.

Este año del 2019, Dios nos ha bendecido y nos dio muchas razones para estar agradecidos. La familia esta bien, creciendo y saludable. Summer y Autumn están viviendo con Thommy y April, ahora van a un colegio que les gusta, aquí en Franklinton. James nos sorprendió con una linda visita. Patricia y David vinieron a la reunión de la familia

Ha sido un año muy triste para Chile por la continua destrucción echa por los terroristas comunistas. Agradecemos a Dios porque la familia esta bien. Mi madre esta estable y con buen espíritu, disfrutando nuestra compañía cuando podemos ir a Chile.

Llevamos a las nietas Summer, Autumn y Melissa a visitar lugares históricos de Carolina del Norte para aprender sobre la historia de nuestro estado y sus ancestros. Visitamos sus tumbas y plantaciones.

La pintura es “Niños en el trineo de nieve” inspirada por los tres hijos de Thom, Thommy Patricia y James jugando en la nieve cuando eran pequeños. Días felices creciendo en su lindo fundo en Franklinton, Carolina del Norte.

Que Dios los bendiga en estas fiestas Navideñas 2019 y les traiga muchas felicidades el 2020,

Thom y Clina

Girl Making Butter Painting

Oil painting 24″x 36″ by Clina Polloni.

Girl Making Butter Painting.

Girl Making Butter Painting

Girl Making Butter Painting

This painting is about a girl concentrating in making butter. Children have always been my inspiration, portraying the innocence of their young life.

Also, my admiration for the beauty and history of North Carolina. Traveling through the mountains I admired the rocks formations and colors, from browns to yellows, greens, aquamarines and blues.

Clina Polloni is a contemporary artist born in Chile. 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 the people of North Carolina in their environment and activities, representing the colonial times and history of our state.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

  1. Start by drawing the girl and rocks setting defining the light and the shade. Look at image.
  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.
  3. Apply a coat of heavy gesso in the walls to create texture.
Girl Making Butter Drawing

Girl Making Butter Drawing

Start painting with oils in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:

  1. Using oils, start painting the background, stones, window, chair, floor, vegetables, etc.
  2. Using oils paint the skin, blending light and shade to the color of the skin. Paint the features of the face and hands.
  3. Paint hair, hat and clothe.
  4. Sign your work of art.

Poem:

“Memories of a White House”

White was the house
green were the trees
memories of a long life left behind
the noise of activity, every day rush was gone…
long ago.

The only thing left was the old couple
in the silence of age,
embraced on a clear spring morning
by the friendly music of their birds
and the bright colors of fresh flowers.
