The Troy, NY Bella Vita Fresco voting is now open to email votes. Please vote! For anyone wishing to vote, you can email your vote to Andrea Daley at diyrestoreit@gmail.com. You can only vote once.
Here’s the info on my Fresco in downtown Troy.

Joyce Jackson -Fresco #14

Email your vote by September 8th with the following information:

Fresco #:
Your name:
Email address:
Phone #:

Indicate whether you would like to get emails on the Bell Vita Fresco Project.

Please forward this blog post URL to all your friends & family and ask them
to vote. I didn’t do much about getting votes early on. Troy is so far from me, it was difficult and very tiring to continue driving there. I didn’t go there to solicit votes, which other artists who live closer were able to do. Maybe this will boost my numbers a little, up from zero anyway. LOL These contests are never fair, but a good effort was made to make this one fair.
See my early test version here:

Here’s my finished version. The person who took the photo cropped off the entire left side, so it’s hidden. I think it looked better before she cropped it. If
I’d been asked permission, I would have said no, don’t crop it. Also it looks
more faded than it actually is. It really looks a lot better in real life, but this will have to do.

Thanks for voting!

Bella Vita Frescos Being Created

5/9/2012

Here's a video of us artists creating our frescos as participants in the Bella Vita project in Troy, NY, on May 5, 2012. Details in my 2 earlier posts. A peek at just some of the amazing artwork at various stages as it's being created.  I'm the one with the Italian T-shirt, in about 1 minute.

Cartoon Shows Values

This was such a tremendous amount of work, I can't leave it out. The drawing known as the "cartoon" was an integral part of the success of the finished fresco.

Artwork for Bella Vita Project

I've added a new page to show my submmittals for being among 49 other artists who will paint fresco paintings for a Community Fresco Project in Honor of Troy’s Historic Little Italy.
All 6 of my submissions are found here
They are not representative of the kind of work that will be done for the show.  They are only examples of work I've created in the past.
I've selected this group from among my work to demonstrate that I can work in a variety of media, can paint the human form, and most any other type of subject.  I can't think offhand of anything that I can't paint.  I don't mean to sound boastful, but once you advance beyond a certain stage in your artistic development, nothing is impossible to depict fairly accurately and well.
Copying from a photo is not very hard to do.  At least that's been my experience at this stage of my artistic life.  It's only a matter of doing studies when you get stuck on any aspects of the subject at hand.  I usually take photos or refer to pre-existing ones.  Next, I might do sketches of the subjects in various positions.  After that, I might opt to make copies of the drawing I like the best to try out a different color scheme for each copy.
