Cooking On An Open Fire NC Painting

I am doing a collection of paintings of ”Colonial People of North Carolina”. Inspired by the historical sites that we had visited with my husband Thom. I have a great admiration of the pioneers that came to this land, with dreams and hopes of a new home in North Carolina. Life was so difficult, they had to clear the forest to plant their food. Built their homes and provide their families with a productive and healthy life.

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.

This painting is exhibit at the 2019 North State Fair.

Cooking On An Open Fire-Drawing

Instructions of how to do this painting:

Start by drawing the ladies and landscape defining the light and the shade. Look at image.
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.

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

Using oils, start painting the background, stones and wall.
Using oils paint the skin, blending light and shade to the color of the skin. Paint the features of the face, hands and foot.
Paint hair and clothes.
Paint open fire, cooking dishes and food.
Sign your work of art.

“Flowers of Love”

Flowers of Love Poem Painting

Are oil paintings by Clina Polloni.

Inspired by my poem “An Instant of Time”, about love and flowers:

Love like flowers
is a fragile breeze;
it is a flash of time,
born on a clear day,
explodes in magnificent
colors and feelings,
and diminish in the
shadows of life.

Poem by Clina Polloni ©

Flowers of Love Poem Drawing

After the cold days of winter. I can’t wait for the warm days of spring to see the pale daffodils or the purple irises emerging, green baby leaves appearing in the old oak tree and finally a rainbow of colors; camellias, geraniums, tulips, peonies, crape myrtles, dahlias, roses and pansies. I get my canvas, brushes, bright colors and go outside, seat in the purple chair and paint. I live in Franklinton, NC, USA, travel to Chile to see my family and also paint.

Instructions:

Start by drawing the poem with a medieval calligraphy. The first letter of the poem is at the right side with a gold background and decorated with flowers.
Draw flowers around the poem.
Create a border with gold and heavy gesso.
Paint with acrylics or oils.

Clina’s paintings are for sale at her studio, The Renaissance Centre for The Arts in Wake Forest and The Franklin County Art Council, NC.

The Oconaluftee River is an inspiration for painting because of its beauty and legends. The Cherokee Indians considered the waters of the Oconaluftee River sacred. It was the deeper part of the river, where all the animals came to wash and heal their wounds when they had been hurt by hunters.

Casa de Paja

A straw farm house painting in Chile by Clina Polloni.

Casa de Paja en Chile

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”

The Market Girl Painting

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.

Original oil painting by Clina Polloni.

Oil on Canvas 24”x 30”.

“The first lights of a summer morning brighten the silver ocean of Emerald Isle North Carolina. I was inspired to paint this seascape when walking my doggy at 6:00am. A peaceful harmony of silvery blues.”

Seascape-Aurora in a Silver Ocean

Emerald Isle is part of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Located in the southernmost part of the Outer Banks, an amazing 200-mile stretch of barrier islands.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

Start by drawing the ocean and sky.
Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic 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.

Paint sky, ocean and beach.
