From sketch to complete painting-Trompe l’Oeil for a niche. One of my clients had a flat niche in the entrance of their house. So I suggested a Trompe l’Ooeil painting which would create 3D illusion in that niche. They wanted to see in that painting a vase with sunflowers mixed with blue and other flowers. I painted that Trompe l’Oeil on canvas in my studio. Later it was installed by professional wall paper hangers into that niche. To see art for sale by Tatiana Rugers –> To commission portrait ->

Updated portrait on new painting “Life, Love and Restaurant”.

I worked on my painting of “Life, Love and Restaurant” and introducing here detail of a new version of it. That painting is about two owners of the restaurant “Alfano’s” in Clearwater Florida. After I came back from Salon I realized that I have a better reference photo of Linda – where she looks straight at us. In the original version Linda looks at Frank – I thought that it was a good composition. But then it does not show Linda’s beautiful character and smile everyone loves. On that photo – detail of a new version of my painting . I rushed a little to finish that portrait before Salon 2021 and to get ready for my master class at Salon and demonstration. It feels great to have time and to work a little more on it to achieve my vision. To see art for sale by Tatiana Rugers –> To commission portrait ->

Mural: Amalfi coast, Italy with Trompe l’Oeil element.

I made that composition not from a real place photo – but from my client’s ideas of what they want to see in the dining room. I added a fruit bowl to add Trompe l’Oeil effect. That photo was in my studio. Later on mural was installed with paste onto the wall by professional wall paper installers. Mural for a wall for the client’s dining room: Amalfi coast, Italy.

Salon 2021 exhibition. Part 1

I am so glad that despite the current situation in the world and still coronavirus scare the host of Salon 2021 Margaret Von Kaenel managed to organize Salon in St.Louise. Only American members of Salon could come and work but many Salon artists from Europe, also from Japan and Azerbaijan mailed their paintings to be displayed.

During 4 days of Salon visitors could see exhibition paintings, take master classes which were zoomed all over the world; watch every participant painting live their demonstrations; and also watch groups of Salon participants paint 2 large murals which were donated after the last day to charities.

This video is the first part of Salon 2021 exhibition. I will post more later. Enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/1135992794/videos/pcb.10217730681515549/10217730679675503
