I was nervous about not only reflecting the dress accurately, but the bride as well. Based on the request of the mother-of-the-bride who commissioned the piece, she requested that the back of the dress be the main feature. I agreed to paint the bride as well so that the piece would make visual sense. I think I prefer only painting the dress itself, but based on the satisfaction of this piece, I think I could be encouraged to paint brides more often :)Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-64293160927601899672011-11-26T14:30:00.001-08:002012-02-26T13:17:18.709-08:00American Roll, Magazine Strips on Cold-Press Paper (24.25 x 17" Famed and Matted- Private Collection)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE6GQ9uO13qHETwRpAXRLM4iEATnq_DzYgpAnI2OQUn9hKW9hBFJOtaXkjw46bqw-NyUrf1bSY8swQJHDlNEhKQk-wxs5BCwttWYZsLOtiXE2K-nvAKtfVWNPmXbDe1jgWlNtcMtXVIc/s1600/IMG_0001.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE6GQ9uO13qHETwRpAXRLM4iEATnq_DzYgpAnI2OQUn9hKW9hBFJOtaXkjw46bqw-NyUrf1bSY8swQJHDlNEhKQk-wxs5BCwttWYZsLOtiXE2K-nvAKtfVWNPmXbDe1jgWlNtcMtXVIc/s400/IMG_0001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679436300456953986" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5wTfwSt5NmfO-GAPHEge_t_OerR6P5yKfnRAo25GVAImDWsLj00FiD4jRkJ3cUyC_zFo2sNbmPu_hshWfwC8X6NaXUEuiEbbBbKT44exNDNy6xPjO_K8GO-3-JS2Wo1ECVmotFl4Dlc/s1600/IMG_0013.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5wTfwSt5NmfO-GAPHEge_t_OerR6P5yKfnRAo25GVAImDWsLj00FiD4jRkJ3cUyC_zFo2sNbmPu_hshWfwC8X6NaXUEuiEbbBbKT44exNDNy6xPjO_K8GO-3-JS2Wo1ECVmotFl4Dlc/s320/IMG_0013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679435694822432258" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Inspired by the artwork of Lee Gainer.</span><br /><br />This piece was made from strips of cut up magazines that were hot-glued to paper to create an American flag. I loved making this piece.

She wanted a photo she had taken at the Marcony Beach on Cape Cod to be painted on three separate panels. Now, a little secret I've never verbally admitted to anyone: I HATE DOING LANDSCAPES. (My friend, Jennifer Singer, can attest to this when she wanted me to do a painting of boats she had from Barcelona... and she would encourage me to continue this painting by randomly blurting out in conversations, "Boats, boats, boats...."). Landscapes, seascapes, ocean-scapes, any type of "-scape" that consists of large blue or green areas just doesn't work for me. I need to see shapes in my subject, and in the photo I was provided with, there were no shapes. Just beige, blue, and more blue. <br /><br />But it's my mom! I couldn't say, "no"! So what was suppose to be a Christmas present, stretched into a birthday present, then stretched in to a Mother's Day present... until finally I finished it on some random day in September.<br /><br />I am not proud of this painting at all, but my mom is happy with it and I was able to hang it for her in her house this weekend,Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-72803266060036402122011-10-10T18:50:00.001-07:002012-02-26T13:18:05.385-08:00Sarah Schmidt Pearce, 6 x 9" Watercolor on Paper (Private Collection)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kaDTPQl4KC7s5BWNLyb6OxmjV4kRMRH_D1Xzt_0ZWFipA0Dra1V0ta_otZ6bWGLWEJBOfbV9Sw3u-mQTlm7vJfcb9eFiG2NYJ2g5207mM5F7qMZjtsIfET43QbZSGYGWh8luV-2-h5E/s1600/100_1784.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kaDTPQl4KC7s5BWNLyb6OxmjV4kRMRH_D1Xzt_0ZWFipA0Dra1V0ta_otZ6bWGLWEJBOfbV9Sw3u-mQTlm7vJfcb9eFiG2NYJ2g5207mM5F7qMZjtsIfET43QbZSGYGWh8luV-2-h5E/s400/100_1784.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662046475579011586" /></a><br /><br /><br />Congratulations to my cousin, John Pearce, and his beautiful new wife, Sarah :)Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-88206000380557736382011-07-26T18:50:00.000-07:002011-07-26T18:53:53.198-07:00Crooked Tower, As Seen from Campo San Maurizio, 9 x 5" 005 Micron Pen on Paper<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdE-PPxpPlYFAVqsyDGV47Ra6QsZO8K6hTmoQZPPeusFNQJFdIW8d7pMuDBfZyO4VX-0R9xSJpWxcDPQb56veLdKBGIoywd1C95Ofq-3KnRMXGsGoy3WQHVc20ZBdwTO3jqhXqVBMxed4/s1600/crookedtower.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdE-PPxpPlYFAVqsyDGV47Ra6QsZO8K6hTmoQZPPeusFNQJFdIW8d7pMuDBfZyO4VX-0R9xSJpWxcDPQb56veLdKBGIoywd1C95Ofq-3KnRMXGsGoy3WQHVc20ZBdwTO3jqhXqVBMxed4/s400/crookedtower.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633843996124807074" /></a><br /><br /><br />After all these years, I still don't know the name of the church tower in Venice.

I was given one hour alone on a Sunday to install nine dress paintings. With the help of my friend and former teacher, Caryn Azoff, I felt my work really looked exquisite and fit the walls of the restaurant perfectly.<br /><br />My boss called me several hours later when he saw the work. When I saw his name flash on my phone, I thought: "Ut oh... here we go." I had prepared myself for the 203478852 things he was going to complain about. Instead, to my surprise, he called to say everything looked "very nice", and that I "obviously spent a lot of time on my work." But my boss cannot dole out a complement without a back handed comment, so he continued to say, "I'm glad our restaurant now looks ready for Prom." Ha! Fine, I'll take that.<br /><br />The reception of clientele at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. My favorite times were when clients seated at my tables would notice the change of artwork and ask who the artist was. When I would off-handly say I did it, they would laugh and say, "No you didn't!" I would then smile and say, "Yes I did... my artist statement and photo is hanging up by the host stand." Then the disbelief would come over their faces. I would then proceed to tell them that I could make them a nice painting or a really great martini... or both! Their choice. <br /><br />Probably my favorite part of the show was seeing the different reactions of men and women. Most women loved the fashion and loved the idea. When men spoke to me about the work, the first thing nearly every one of them stated was, "None of them have heads...".<br /><br />The show has been highly successful and I am proud to say that five of the nine pieces have sold. My boss is unsure about when the pieces will come down, so I invite anyone and everyone to come to Taste Restaurant on 1995 Whitney Avenue in North Haven, across from Krauzer's and next to Dairy Queen, to see for themselves.Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-48954149228543311972011-05-30T11:24:00.000-07:002011-05-30T11:28:32.291-07:00San Marco from Il Campanille, 005 Micron Pen on Paper 6 x 9"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26zjyZ57faF8EcYaKMQN-qE6iU5cnKmjE421gua4nbb4iZ8Oog9IeTh4hijYOQBemhAXjE2Bzw5Mhao-vGB5FY2F3BlIPoywRe0dUzAQoY4UIwXFiDtXslvig9rO5cCH26B7dl_Q5Eh8/s1600/100_2905.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26zjyZ57faF8EcYaKMQN-qE6iU5cnKmjE421gua4nbb4iZ8Oog9IeTh4hijYOQBemhAXjE2Bzw5Mhao-vGB5FY2F3BlIPoywRe0dUzAQoY4UIwXFiDtXslvig9rO5cCH26B7dl_Q5Eh8/s400/100_2905.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612577179477193218" /></a><br /><br /><br />The Original Photo is from my trip to Venice in December 2007 atop the brick Campanille Bell Tower overlooking the San Marco Basilica.Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-14203940273159011982011-05-29T20:14:00.003-07:002012-02-26T13:22:20.519-08:00Untitled, Watercolor 9 x 6" (Private Collection)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMzcmcRAdZ3-uYfUFCyjjSPTHfnq1_R4bQXhNVylgbaZ-ygEt6f8DVrvBLeElTRoWSob-B_c6xzaAAR7tDOlCoeYGS5aeqPiNud494SWyl5HlJGtOsAsEa0xwYxULHCTkRdoyLdlQUV0/s1600/100_2896.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 251px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMzcmcRAdZ3-uYfUFCyjjSPTHfnq1_R4bQXhNVylgbaZ-ygEt6f8DVrvBLeElTRoWSob-B_c6xzaAAR7tDOlCoeYGS5aeqPiNud494SWyl5HlJGtOsAsEa0xwYxULHCTkRdoyLdlQUV0/s400/100_2896.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612342630882372802" /></a><br /><br /><br />For Janna Clukey :)Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-54292491556463750852011-04-04T20:31:00.000-07:002011-04-04T20:35:01.244-07:00Hermes, Oil on Canvas 22 x 18"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4CJve4wgKj0y_dZPA9BF6xtN-jtA-2QzYhNpQPfB-U-zEABf1ufCLTN4UbkPgb-SZu45Y16PCcsHZitfVeozjtzyQPwdUD-qBISodvrxsB_2z1B8WtvckkhqfKxhR1yj3u6Ywzg7_mI/s1600/100_2845.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4CJve4wgKj0y_dZPA9BF6xtN-jtA-2QzYhNpQPfB-U-zEABf1ufCLTN4UbkPgb-SZu45Y16PCcsHZitfVeozjtzyQPwdUD-qBISodvrxsB_2z1B8WtvckkhqfKxhR1yj3u6Ywzg7_mI/s400/100_2845.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591937507491463730" /></a><br /><br />Close-up:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiScWO2KAtnLALRvMMV6xgVThGIO4zcwjxh-LxPXqX7OmgPg1BIIt1pzIySaGASO5IrpHltFuBzjW9Vo6dMx1g619LgL2PIy7D7GBZ3XyYOKLBf3yehGG4tRwLOzEK63Rz5h4S4gKz0pxM/s1600/100_2852.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiScWO2KAtnLALRvMMV6xgVThGIO4zcwjxh-LxPXqX7OmgPg1BIIt1pzIySaGASO5IrpHltFuBzjW9Vo6dMx1g619LgL2PIy7D7GBZ3XyYOKLBf3yehGG4tRwLOzEK63Rz5h4S4gKz0pxM/s400/100_2852.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591937514586967282" /></a><br /><br /><br />Note: I made slight additions to the painting after taking these photos.

(Pause for a disappointed sigh.) This painting took me way longer to complete than I am willing to admit, and by no means is it up to the quality of my previous dress paintings. <br /><br />This composition taught me just how difficult it is to paint sequins-- who knew! (Not to be confused with "sequence" haha). Shortly after I completed to dress portion of the painting, I showed what I had accomplished to my father, whose response was, "It looks like you dropped it... did you drop it?" I quickly looked at him and said, "No, Dad, that's sequins!"<br /><br />I managed to take a trip into New York City this weekend and with the help of my faithful friend, Jennifer Singer, managed to walk down Madision Avenue after sunset to photograph designer windows. The dresses I saw and the photos I took were enough to make me jump up and down in the street and scream with delight... in short, I made a scene and probably embarrassed Jenn to no end. But I was excited! And I can honestly say that that has not happened in recent memory in regards to my art. So, for my faithful followers, stay tuned for paintings of Oscar de la Renta, Hermes, Donna Karen, my favorite Valentino, and many, many more. I think I have enough material to paint for a very long time. And I can guarantee sequins probably will not be included.Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-15588375766771873212010-10-17T16:12:00.000-07:002011-05-29T21:42:11.730-07:00Monica Viscuso Jennette, Watercolor 9 x 6" (Private Collection)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQggVN9UhNmXCGJIZeepM7OnjsI0LfxiswQJbd3rhEBoqkfA7DEQL6NccSr05WTk3APfj_AhqlyQOriwq1b8j6FCCaioB1krbQ7wPq2TTBe_sW-VMBMC1laU7AVg_SdPUf8OSgC_xOqvs/s1600/100_2617.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Converting my brother's old bedroom at home into a temporary studio has not been as artistically stimulating as I would have liked, and the fact that application after application and interview after interview still has me still standing in the hypothetical "Unemployment Line"-- I need a job and I need to get out of here. When not job hunting, I have tried to busy myself with woodburning, working on a life-size painting of my mother's wedding dress, creating small watercolor paintings of wedding dresses to jump start my future side-business, and sketches for future paintings. I would like to thank everyone who follows my blog for their continued support. I will update my blog with more photos very soon :)Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-76914964467689165012010-05-20T16:43:00.000-07:002010-05-20T16:46:53.216-07:00Courtesy of Boston University...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6unHrRQQ5JW-BjdV_2Q7KpjrPMDIeV5vex2_GMSAORLkFbDovreOJvR03A9MybdVtCEWiKTK6BUeSCOV3Y48TbqIMrv818KikWz3sEHaPRxrQGcdgjGgyIz-lF2u-2AszSnAx04Z4GA/s1600/KatieP-6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

As an assignment, we were to anonymously pick names of a classmate out of a hat and based on what we knew of their work, create a list of 5 objectives they had to follow to complete a painting by the following week. The name I chose from the hat was a classmate whom I knew had very strong political and religious opinions, but I had always felt her work lacked a certain sense of herself. The objectives I created for her would force her to make her paintings and opinions more personal. Even though she followed the objectives, her resulting painting(s)were still not what I hoped they would be. <br /><br />The following week we received the assignment to follow the objectives we ourselves had written and make the painting we had imagined would be produced.<br /><br />Coming from a military family, I decided to make a painting that would show others that even though everyone is <span style="font-style:italic;">entitled </span>to have an opinion on the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is completely different to give credence to that opinion unless you have family or friends who have fought on the front line. Using impasto (dried palette scrapings), I showed the stigma that military families carry around on their person at all times, a stigma that is shown for impact in the painting but largely unnoticed on real people.Katie Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01843896731351184358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470630045276921084.post-53523441217042305882010-02-16T08:18:00.001-08:002010-02-16T08:20:00.678-08:00Wanderings, 50 x 29" Oil on Canvas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPwKRMKnSpY68xnRUAfTW4mkHNjTbZQKm8UEhjHHsvGkAVwOiFTlIiwx-ITaBOXcVcfgOBZnU2FmmeSxJQ6A-Y6UvcRodmZ-RQTUvEDALqxcn1ozZwnkfrvwdk_Tgcz2hloJQRhynoTY/s1600-h/100_2258.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;
