Gond painting by Jangan Singh Shyam on display - Daily Pioneer

If its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, you have John Stanewich to thank.

The 73-year-old Somis muralist has spent the last couple of weeks painting snowdrifts, lights, wreaths and his beloved birch trees on business windows across the region, evoking the spirit of a winter place that coastal dwellers can only dream of.

I do this out of a love for artwork. Im an entertainer, so if I can make you forget something for just a short period of time, Ive done my job, Stanewich said between brush strokes on a mural at Santas workshop in Las Posas Plaza, Camarillo.

His is not the stuff of caricature, like the outsize Santas, Rudolphs and Frostys of the late, great Ventura County muralist Chris Martinez.

I do landscapes, Stanewich said. God bless Bob Ross.

Indeed, in spring, theres no giant Stanewich Easter Rabbit. Most of his windows that time of year feature paintings of flowerpots. For Fourth of July, he doesnt paint Uncle Sam. Stanewich still evokes patriotism, but with American flags, banners, white picket fences and lots of red, white and blue.

I dont do Halloween, he said. For fall, just the basic pumpkins and cornstalks.

Which brings us to winter.

At the plaza off Las Posas Road, the artist and his helpers have been working on windows for 44 businesses, along with an empty space where kids will get to have their picture taken with the jolly elf on select days starting Dec. 2.

Stanewich has an almost pastoral interpretation of the season.

Nobodys doing that anymore, he said. Theyre doing the big Santa Claus or Rudolph with the big nose. Here were just opening peoples eyes with the snow and the ribbons. Were putting Christmas lights in the wreaths and in the garland.

In addition to the shopping center, Stanewichs winter work can be found at Cafe Fucille locations in Camarillo and Ventura, and at Country Harvest restaurant in Camarillo, where he paints the other seasons as well.

His tools include bristle brushes and sponge brushes, and paints of various colors, all of which he packs around on a cart that looks like its seen many seasons.

As Stanewich worked, Camarillo resident Desha Duncan, who was enjoying a beverage from the adjacent Starbucks, approached the painter and complimented him on his work.

I love the fact its so Christmasy, so beautiful, she said. I love the way he does the trees. Theyre a little different than what you sometimes see that are so cartoonish. His are very realistic, and they make you feel like youre in nature.

What caught her eye initially was Stanewichs white birch trees, so evocative of a place where fallen leaves on the ground are eclipsed by pristine fallen snow.

They look very natural and real, Duncan said.

In Stanewichs hands, the birch is hardy, tall and bare, its bark peeling away.

Theyre white, which is cool for Christmas or for winter, he said. The black lines make them really stand out as a birch versus aspen. Aspen are on the golden side.

Duncan said window-dressing such as Stanewichs says a lot about the people who ask that it be put up.

It makes me feel like that store values Christmas and the holidays, and so it makes me feel like I want to go inside, she said.

That is precisely what business owner and plaza promotional director Michelle Sanchez was going for when she contracted with Stanewich.

It brings them in, Sanchez said of the imagery. It just brings the holiday spirit back, because we lost that a long time ago with the COVID.

Someone else had been painting the plaza, and then a merchant saw Stanewichs work at Country Harvest.

They got his phone number and come to find out hes a local, Sanchez said. And our thing is about keeping it local.

As for the art: It looks beautiful. Ive gotten so many calls. Its amazing, Sanchez said.

Such comments put a spring in Stanewichs step.

It warms your heart, and it makes you want to do it more, he said.

Stanewich is a Camarillo High alumnus who lives on a ranch with his wife, Sandra Scholle Stanewich. He retired from the Auto Club, where he handed out countless TripTik travel planners, processed many DMV transactions and notarized a document or two. Hes a musician, and these days spends his time with the local gem and mineral society, a gourd society and even prospecting.

Like painting, he calls all these endeavors his hobbies.

He also likes to mentor young people and is always ready to share a brush.

This excites me. If I can get kids interested in art, Ive done my job.

When the seasons over, does the artist have to take it all down?

No. Its like having a baby. I couldnt do that, Stanewich said. We have people come in and clean.

MARGATE The city is getting in on the Philadelphia Eagles'kelly green craze.

The city is in the process of painting all of its bike lanes a similar color to the Eagles' throwback jerseys, to distinguish the difference between lanes.

City engineer Ed Dennis gave a status report at the Nov. 16 City Commission meeting, where he said the bike lane painting would be completed in the next couple of weeks.

The striping started at Fredericksburg and Atlantic avenues and will continue to Huntington Avenue.

"It's ready to go, so shouldn't take too long to complete," Dennis said.

The city is paying Farmingdale, Monmouth County-based Traffic Lines Inc. $266,652 for work on the project.

City officials said they were happy with the traffic improvements the road diet had brought over the past few years. The project turned Atlantic Avenue into a one-lane road in each direction, lowered the speed limit to 25 and widened the bike lane path from five feet to 10.

The city decided to paint the entire bike lane green because that is the designated legal color that goes with the state Department of Transportation's standards. Painting the entire lane green,instead of just parts of it, would cause less confusion for motorists, officials said, and keep them from using it as a driving lane or for turns.

Welcome to One Fine Show, where Observer highlights a recently opened exhibition at a museum outside New York Citya place we know and love that already receives plenty of attention.

Artists usually outgrow the movements that are associated with them. The term impressionism grew out of a derogatory description, and Donald Judd shunned the term minimalist. Moreover, youll find no Mark Rothko in the new show Glory of the World: Color Field Painting (1950s to 1983) at the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale, because though he pioneered the painting of fields of color, he didnt consider himself to be a part of that discipline. That term better described those whose work followed the atomic bomb that was Abstract Expressionism.

The exhibition really is about the generation that comes after because they faced a dilemma, the museums director and curator and former Rothko Foundation head, Bonnie Clearwater, recently told the Miami New Times. They were all committed to abstract painting, and unlike the abstract expressionists who came before them and went through this whole process going from representational and expressionist art to surrealism and biomorphism, and ultimately to their resolved full-blown abstractionthis generation starts where that ends.

SEE ALSO: The Best Holiday Gifts for the Art Lovers and Artists On Your List

What emerged from Abstract Expressionism was Pop Art, Minimalism, Op Art, Photorealism, the Black Art Movement, hard-edge abstraction and Color Field painting, of which this show offers almost fifty stellar examples by artists like Frank Stella, Lawrence Poons, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, Morris Lewis, Helen Frankenthaler and Sam Gilliam, its title taken from a quote by Stella writing on Hans Hofmanns Gloriamundi (1963).

The show would seem to argue that Abstract Expressionism had all those other movements wrapped up into it and that once its Pandoras Box was opened, the Color Field discipline was free to luxuriate in palette experiments without all the emotional complexity or politics. The Gilliam paintings are wonderful examples from the 1970stie-dyes that intermingle to the point that they redefine groovy.

But the Nolands steal the show, namely THIS (1958-1959) and THAT (1958-1959), seven-foot squares with abstracted bullseyes that differ only in the vibrant color selection of their rings but still manage to tell completely different stories. And why do you always assume that everything is a target, man? If youre ever feeling the vibes too hard, you can usually count on Princetons own Frank Stella to knock some sense into you, but even hes getting into the hippie act for this show. Like Noland, his offerings are larger in scale. Theres Waskwaiu II [Variations on a Circle] (1968) and theres Sacramento No. 6 (1978), both of which show meticulous planning in their design and then outr choices for their colors. Stellas palette would become his own to the point you could remove it from the designs and still know whose it was.

Louis acrylic resins on canvas are also big and probably among the more intense works in the show. They appear to be giant curtains, behind which very different plays are about to be staged. Shout out to the Poonses, which build on the work of Jackson Pollock, free from the troubles and hypnotizing effect of the latter.

Fort Lauderdale isnt too far from Miami. If youre going down to Art Basel you should consider swinging through.

Glory of the World: Color Field Painting (1950s to 1983) is on view at the NSU Art Museum through June 30, 2024.

Review: Glory of the World: Color Field Painting (1950s to 1983) - Observer

The painting before (left) and after (right) the removal of the Victorian overpainting and careful restoration of the original. (Photo: screenshot of video from Carnegie Museum of Art)

Years ago, a painting of a young woman ended up at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum was not very impressed by the benign, uninspired face of the sitter, leading to the painting's eventual deaccession from the collection. Instead, it found its way into the collection of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It then sat in the basement, unseen, until it caught the eye of Louise Lippincott, a former museum curator. She showed the work to chief conservator Ellen Baxter, who worked her magic to transform a mediocre work into its original, elegant form. The shocking before and after, documented in 2014, demonstrated the many transformations a work can go through over the centuries.

Originally, the painting was thought to depict Eleanor of Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de Medici, who ruled Florence. A sticker on the back frame alleges the painter was court artist Bronzino. However, Baxter suspected the truth was hidden within, under the pretty yet unremarkable features of the young woman. An x-ray scan confirmed that beneath the face was another one, with larger features and much more character. Beneath the petite hand was a larger one, and it held a vase which had later been painted over. The 16th-century painting had clearly undergone a transformation in the 19th century. The wood panel on which it was painted was shaved down to a very thin strip which was then affixed to canvas. Meanwhile, the face and hand of the woman were overpainted with a more Victorian, delicate image that lacked the vibrance of the original.

Baxter removed the old varnish covering the painting and slowly removed the 19th-century paint as well. Beneath it is the remarkable face of Isabella de Medici, daughter of Cosimo I and Eleanor of Toledo. While not certain, the work was likely done by Alessandro Allori, who trained under Bronzino. The work was then fully conserved to restore its original glory, with careful varnish and delicate inpainting to fix flaking. Baxter notes in a video of the process that she is careful to match color and texture while resisting the urge to put [herself] in the painting. Her work is engaging, and she talks to the painting pleasantly as she restores its glory. These restorations follow certain ethical rules of transparency.

Baxter's efforts are in service of presenting the princess in her glory, as the Paris Hilton of the day. Rich and wild, she took lovers and spent, spent, spent. She was well-educated and witty, but her intrigues may have contributed to her untimely death. Officially it was attributed to dropping dead while washing her hair, but historians believe her husband murdered her in revenge and anger for her affairs. As baxter describes her life, a bad end, but a good story. Painted in this newly uncovered work with a small vase typical of Mary Magdalene depictions, Lippincott explained to Carnegie Museums, This [portrait] is literally the bad girl seeing the light.

Conservator Restore This Renaissance Painting of a Medici - My Modern Met

Paul Gauguin once brazenly claimed that he inspired Van Gogh to create the Sunflowers. This is patently untrue, since the still lifes were painted two months before Gauguins arrival at the Yellow House in Arles. The self-serving Gauguin wanted to claim credit for his colleagues signature works.

Gauguins boast comes in a letter to his Paris-based friend Andr Fontainas, to whom he sent his 1902 manuscript Racontars de Rapin (Tales). This 28-page unpublished article was written in the Marquesan islands in French Polynesia. Yesterday (30 November) The Art Newspaper reported that the manuscript has just been acquired by Londons Courtauld Gallery.

In Tales, Gauguin lists 40 artists he admires. Van Gogh is included at the very end of the list, although nothing more is said about him, despite the fact that Gauguin lived and worked with him for nine weeks in the autumn of 1888. Their collaboration came to an abrupt end when Van Gogh mutilated his ear.

In his letter to Fontainas, dated September 1902, Gauguin wrote that on his arrival in Arles, following my advice and my instructions, he [Van Gogh] worked quite differentlypainting yellow sunflowers on a yellow background. This was a complete distortion of the truth: Van Goghs Sunflowers (August 1888) was actually hanging in Gauguins bedroom when he arrived.

Gauguin also claimed that it was he who encouraged Van Gogh to experiment, utilising the Dutchmans intelligence and fiery temperament. In conclusion, Gauguin wrote that when discussing Van Goghs noble nature I am forced to praise myself.

The year before writing Tales, Gauguin painted a series of four still lifes with sunflowers. On three of these, the flowers are placed on chairs, which represent a nod to the Dutchmans painting Van Goghs Chair (December 1888), now at Londons National Gallery.

When Gauguin painted his 1901 still lifes with sunflowers, they might be seen as representing a homage to Van Gogh. But bearing in mind his claims to Fontainas, it seems equally likely that he was appropriating his colleagues famed motif. Gauguin may have wanted to add visual credence to his claim that he had provided Van Goghs inspiration.

Gauguins attempt was doomed to failure. Van Goghs series of Sunflowers is now universally recognised as his most popular paintingsand as all his very own work.

Monique Hageman, a research assistant at the Van Gogh Museum since 1986, has given a rare lithograph of the artists Old Man drinking Coffee (autumn 1882) to her institution. This represents an act of huge generosity. Hageman bought the print on 10 May at the Leiden-based Burgersdijk & Niermans auction house, paying 275,000. It will eventually be bequeathed to the museum.

The museum already owns the two other extant examples of Old Man drinking Coffee (each was finished by the artists hand and is slightly different). All three lithographs went on display yesterday at the Amsterdam museum, until early in the new year.

REYNOLDSVILLE Over the course of four days, Jeff Tech (Jefferson County Vocational Technical School) Art Club students have continued their tradition of painting cheerful and creative holiday designs on the windows of Reynoldsville businesses.

Jeff Techs Art Club was established in 2017, which is when they started painting windows, said art instructor Angela Dragich. Working with the Reynoldsville Community Association, students have painted windows every year since, except for 2020, along Main Street in Reynoldsville and at the Reynoldsville American Legion. Typically, Dragich says they cover about 18-19 businesses.

Some participate each year, like Reynoldsville Hardware, the Food Pantry, One Stop, The Sub Hub, S&T Bank, the Laundry Mat, District Magistrate office and others.

In January, students return to clean off the windows that still have designs on them, Dragich noted. For the most part, students decide what theyd like to paint, but there are businesses that prefer non-secular, non-religious or no Christian-themed designs.

Jeff Tech Art Club students created their own version of "the leg lamp" from "A Christmas Story." In this photo, Maria Hoch is shown painting a window.

The students sometimes get a chance to go in the business and take requests, she said.

This year, for example, the Grinch has been a popular request from both Glass Erectors and The Sub Hub, and was also painted on one of the laundry mat windows. By request, students also recreated the leg lamp from A Christmas Story on the windows next to The Sub Hub shop on Main Street.

Other designs this year include a reindeer, Snoopy, Jack Skeleton as Santa, winter houses and trees, Christmas lights, Santa with a bag of money, a gingerbread man, a farmer elf with animals and others.

A total of 12 students participated in the window painting this year, Dragich said. She noted that an Art Club alumni surprised them on Nov. 20 when they were out painting and stayed to help paint.

The students hear a lot of positive feedback from the community about the designs, she said, from both business owners and people passing by.

Jeff Tech Art Club students are shown in front of Glass Erectors in Reynoldsville, where they painted a Grinch design.

The business owners and volunteers are happy to see the students return each year to paint their windows, she said.

Dragich noted that Glass Erectors even took a photo of its windows, and made an appreciation post on Facebook.

Some students sign up to window paint every year they are in Art Club, and/or every day, she said.

Dragich asked her art students why they choose to paint windows in the cold, rainy, and sometimes snowy weather conditions.

Jeff Tech student Trinity Britton is shown painting a Grinch hand.

Junior cosmetology student Aubrey Dinger said, Window painting is an opportunity to make friends with people. I love to paint, and its awesome to see each others artistic abilities.

Brooke Farmery, senior student in health assisting, said, It gives us a way to spread kindness and holiday cheer throughout the community.

Its a great way to practice and share your art and holiday cheer, added senior engineering student Trinity Britton. Its (also) a great way to meet new people, and make their holidays full of cheer.

Noah Webster, a junior in digital media arts, said he enjoys when he is able to be creative, and doesnt let the weather stop him. This is his second year window painting.

Gabby Phillips, a junior in welding shop, said that she enjoys missing class, but also just very much enjoys painting windows. This is her third year painting with Art Club.

Jeff Tech student Sara White is shown painting houses on the windows of a beauty shop in Reynoldsville.

The RCA provides the paint for these projects, said Dragich, and replenishes it when needed. The RCA also kindly provided lunch for the students on one of their painting days at Main Street Pizza.

The Reynoldsville American Legion also provided a donation to the art department for its appreciation of the window painting, and the Food Pantry provided snacks for students.

The advent of anamorphic advertising hails exciting prospects for brands. But where does it leave age-old crafts like hand-painting murals?

Hand-painted advertising has experienced a global resurgence, and its momentum, further buoyed by social media, shows no signs of waning. These murals are a testament to human artistry, offering a tangible, authentic touch that resonates deeply with audiences, Eric Sas, co-founder and CEO of anamorphic 3D technology company BCN Visuals, tells Jing Daily.

Handcrafted murals, for example, have recently experienced virality. Their popularity shows that theres still an appetite for the human touch, even among the younger generations.

Last year, a clip documenting artists hand-painting a mural in New Yorks Soho from TikTok account Soho Suiting circulated in November. Featuring a lifelike image of Bella Hadid for Swarovski, the video racked up over 20 million views.

The account has since continued to follow the ever-changing canvases dotted around the city after recognizing there was demand for such content, from Gucci trunk murals to Longchamp campaigns.

[Mural art] is doing well because its so human, Lee Bofkin, CEO and co-founder of Global Street Art tells Jing Daily. The London-based advertising agency specializes in hand-painted advertising and public murals, and has created works for the likes of sneaker label On and Wedgwood.

Bofkin outlines how the craft can act as an antidote to todays digital overload.

Human-powered skills are still as relevant as ever, if not more relevant in a time when digital creativity is so increasingly disposable, he says. Its incredibly impactful; its the easiest type of outdoor advertising to share online. People stop and take photos all the time when were painting, and long after.

Where old meets new

With both traditional craft and emerging innovation at the forefront of advertising, brands are opting to harness both.

In essence, both mediums cater to different aspects of marketing and, rather than compete, can coexist harmoniously and offer diverse brand expression, Sas says.

Loewe is exploring both ends of the spectrum. The Spanish fashion house employed both mediums for its widely popular Howls Moving Castle campaign earlier this year. In Chengdu, the brand captivated passersby with a 3D billboard inspired by the anime classics distinct visual cues. Meanwhile, it went back to basics with hand-painted advertisements for the streets of London.

Bofkin argues that deploying a mix of modes may help a brand avoid getting lost in the noise, but this approach doesnt guarantee staying power.

Brands need to be more relevant in culture and isolated messaging only goes so far. The things that work best are integrating outdoor (like mural painting) within wider parts of the campaign, he says.

Combating fatigue

Today, brands are looking for ways to combat waning interest, especially as they strive to capture the vacillating attention of Gen Z and Gen Alpha. But with consumer advertising burnout rife, can novel advancements like 3D billboards offer a solution?

Yes and no, marketing and brand strategist Leland Grossman says. In some regards the gimmicky nature only reinforces the fatigue. On the flip side, the technology has the potential to truly wow folks, as I believe the MSG Sphere has done.

Sas believes that theres a place for newness and old-school craft in todays marketing playbook, but harnessing new technologies is what will keep brands ahead of the curve and the competition.

Ultimately, as the marketing landscape shifts towards more interactive and immersive experiences, pivoting to 3D digital displays is not just a progressive step; its imperative for brands aiming to maintain a competitive edge and offer an unparalleled brand experience in a Web3 and AI-centric world, he says.

DIYers looking for faster results with less mess can benefit from using an electric paint sprayer, such as the ones offered by SPRAYIT, as these devices offer quick results with little learning curve.

They are affordable, efficient, and simple t operate, making them perfect for DIY enthusiasts!

When using an electric paint sprayer, hold your gun approximately 12 inches away and spray n long consistent movements while always moving perpendicular t the surface being painted; this will help minimize overspray and ensure a smooth, even finish.

Metal surface finishing aims t produce products with special properties, such as protection from corrosion, enhanced texture, r improved aesthetics.

Surface spray finishing machines for metal utilize a controlled stream f paint r other coating materials t achieve the desired finish.

An effective surface spray finishing machine for metal should provide uniform coverage, consistent color, and minimal overspray.

HOMAG offers several models f surface spray finishing machines for metal designed specifically t handle heavy production environments, providing deburring, dross removal, calibration/dimensioning, edge radiusing, painting/surface preparation r finishing/polishing services.

Furthermore, our machines incorporate powerful industrial dust collection systems for added safety; this ensures that abrasions wont release dangerous particulates into the air that could spark fires thus helping prevent workplace accidents.

Abrasive blasting involves firing an abrasive media stream against surfaces under pressure to clean, roughen, or alter their shape.

First patented over 150 years ago, this surface preparation technique can be used to prepare steel and aluminum components for painting, strengthen metal surfaces and adhesion as well as remove contaminants such as rust or grease that have built up on them just to name a few benefits of this surface treatment method.

Abrasive blasting is an efficient and economical method of eliminating paint, oil, organics, oxidation and salt buildup that interferes with coating adhesion and helps the finishing process proceed more successfully.

Dry ice and soda blasting offer an alternative approach, reducing dust emissions while requiring less containment; however, these techniques tend to be slower.

A retrofit device known as a water curtain may be fitted over the blasting nozzle in order to minimize premixing of water with the abrasive.

This has been found to cut airborne dust emissions by 50-75% while simultaneously shortening cleaning times without diminishing effectiveness of blasts.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process applied electrostatically and baked in an oven to form an extremely durable finish. Applied to any surface, powder coating resists corrosion, scratching, chipping, fading and wear with ease perfect for exterior use!

Powder coating is also environmentally-friendly. Liquid paints contain solvents which emit hazardous emissions when dry; in comparison, powder coating releases minimal or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere; this helps improve air quality and minimize environmental contamination at work sites.

Powder coating application processes are efficient and create minimal waste, as powder can be recycled for reuse in future applications and overspray is typically collected and recycled as well.

All this adds up to savings on materials as well as equipment maintenance fees and electricity usage costs for running them.

Metal products can be found everywhere from homes and businesses alike, yet their raw state can be hard, unattractive, and hard on the wallet.

To make them more functional and visually appealing, various finishing techniques have been implemented that also protect them against corrosion, abrasion, and other physical damages.

Powder coating, silk screening and painting are among the most widely utilized finishing methods, used to improve metal products while simultaneously decreasing weight, cost and time spent production.

Furthermore, these methods may even increase corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

Machinists utilize other processes to prepare the surface of metal components besides traditional finishing processes. Pickling removes dirt and rust while electropolishing smooths it; both procedures ensure high-quality and long-term use for finished products.

Furthermore, depending on the hardness of metal chosen for finishing processes differ; some processes work better with hard metals while others might better suit soft ones.

Painting Perfection with Electric Paint Sprayers: A Comprehensive ... - Robotics and Automation News

More than 40 years ago, Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Eagles Head Coach Dick Vermeil labeled local artist Joe Venditti as the "Official Painting Coach" of the team.

In 1979, Venditti was working at the Sign Shack, his art store at Oregon Avenue and Percy Street in South Philadelphia, when a man came into the shop with an offer that the artist could not refuse.

Stanley "Bow Wow" Wojtkiewicz, a publicist for the Eagles, asked Venditti if he would be interested in painting for the team.

Venditti started by painting signs around the training facility and doing any small job that the organization needed.

That stemmed into a bigger opportunity for Venditti, who was then asked to design game balls and ultimately paint the field.

"It was so cool," said Danielle Venditti Hurd, Joe's daughter. "It made us feel like we were somebody. I was in grade school at the time, so I felt like a big shot."

Venditti was known for delicately painting commemorative game balls with Kelly Green paint and the vintage Eagles logo.

The Sign Shack owner would paint all the footballs at his shop. Game balls would be given out to players, coaches, and staff members after big games. In 1980, after the Eagles beat the Cowboys in the NFC Championship Game, Vermeil ordered 138 game balls, one for every member of the organization including Joe.

Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie received a game ball from Venditti after purchasing the team in 1994. United States President George H. W. Bush is the owner of one as well.
