About the Item
8" x 8" (HxW) Pastel Painting on Board
12" x 12" (HxW) Overall Framed Dimensions
Artist Commentary:
When I begin a series, as I was doing when I created "Pretty In Pink," I often work from a photo reference which I use for the first painting in the series. I then put it away and use the first painting in the series for my inspiration. I take a lot of creative license. I move trees to different spots, I work with different size canvases and change the compositions either a little or a lot. I add structures. I take structures away. I change the underpainting colors, the sky colors, the grasses. Many artists seek to replicate their photos but I've chosen to use mine as to let my imagination run wild. This is a professionally framed piece.

Dina Gardner
Dina Gardner has always been fascinated by how artists, whether they are painters, musicians, writers or anyone who uses their gifts of creativity, work through their creative process. She is constantly intrigued that the process is so uniquely different for every artist, regardless of their medium. Dina's process looks like this: It always starts with music, which serves to influence what happens on her canvas. At her easel, there is a lot of singing (slightly off key) and there are spontaneous dance parties (not bad for a white girl.) Her canvas is a gritty piece of paper, sometimes purchased, sometimes hand-made. With the music on, she uses a photo reference she has taken for inspiration and sketches her composition on her canvas. Sometimes, there isn't a photo reference at all but rather an idea in her head that she works from. She often starts with an underpainting, which is the first layer of a painting, using rubbing alcohol to set it permanently on her canvas. Dina's work represents the things she is most drawn to: oceans, water, skies, trees, marshes and meadows. She is an avid traveler and loves to paint a variety of subjects that catch her eye while traveling. She loves a big, bustling city and stunning architecture but she also loves being surrounded by anything that nature has to offer from a dilapidated barn, to the sun setting over the mountains or to any path that gets off the beaten path. As an artist, she is always chasing the light, finding the juxtaposition between light and shadow. Dina splits her time between Southern California, where she was born and raised, and Boston, her adoptive city of almost 35 years. Before becoming a full-time artist, Dina founded several recruiting firms, starting her first company when she was 25 years old. What she loved most about being a headhunter was actually getting the businesses off the ground. She loved the 'launching' stage, the blank canvas she was able to work with and the vision she was able to create as she then executed and put her stamp on each one. Standing at her easel gives her the opportunity to put these same skills to use every single time she creates a painting. In addition to her passion for her family, painting and traveling, her heart resides with the Pay It Forward Backpack Project, a grass-roots organization she founded in 2015. The Pay It Forward Backpack Project provides backpacks filled with winter essentials to Boston's homeless population. A percentage of proceeds from each sale of her art is donated to the Backpack Project in an effort to continue to pay it forward by helping the unhoused who often suffer from mental illness, drug and/or alcohol addiction. Dina's motto is 'Carpe Diem" and she does her best to make that happen each and every day.

- Early 20th century colorful seaside landscape pastel figures bench trees signedBy Francesco SpicuzzaLocated in Milwaukee, WI"Couple on Bench at the Beach" is an original pastel drawing on paperboard by Francesco Spicuzza. The artist signed the piece in the lower left. This drawing depicts two figures sitting on a bench in front of a body of water. The artist used mostly pastel colors for this piece. 6 7/8" x 9 7/8" art 18 1/2" x 21 3/8" frame Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves...Category
