News from Judy Nocifora Studio

2017-07-20T18:51:00.000-05:00

Greetings Everyone!

So far this year, my little corner of the art world continues to be funfilled and a busy one. Painting classes and workshops are especially rewarding for me because of all the fine people who participate in these classes and workshops at Memphis Botanic Garden. A big thank you to all for always brightening my day with your presence.

Classes and Workshops

The current workshop, Landscapes and Seascapes ends this Friday, July 21st. Where did the time go? We are having too much fun to stop! A great group of painters have explored the elements of composition… editing and cropping photos, simplification, thumbnail sketches, value scale to color and paint application. Their work has been amazing!

Ongoing 9-Noon Thursday or Saturday, six-week session began on June 29/July1 and ends on Thursday/Saturday, August 3/5. There will be a two week break and the next six-week session begins on Thursday/Saturday, August 24/26.

During this break I look forward to a few days in the mountains with painter friends. Sure hoping we don't see a bear while we are out plein air painting! This photo was posted on Facebook a few days ago by a friend. A large, furry bear visited her dinner picnic in the area where we are going.

Yikes!

My next once-a-month weekend class is Saturday, August 5 and Sunday August 6, 1-4:30 p.m.

There will be no “Workshop” in August, but an exciting one is scheduled for September! This workshop has been requested by a number of my current students. Watch your email for more information about this four session workshop, Hue’ Knew?

Exhibits

I am currently exhibiting in the following galleries: St. George’s Episcopal Church and Ava Maria Retirement Home. The exhibits run now through July 31. Drop in if you are in the area.

Painting a Wedding... LIVE!

2016-05-18T17:16:00.000-05:00

I had the pleasure of painting the most gorgeous outdoor wedding at Oak Hill Stables in Oxford, MS. The day was a perfect menu of mild temperatures, gentle breezes, luminous sunshine and happy people everywhere! The wedding ceremony took place in late afternoon. I set up my easel and began to paint the reception setting several hours before the guests arrived at the reception. My goal was to capture the warm ambiance of the late afternoon under a beautifully decorated tent and the guests celebrating with the bride and groom. The painting was finished and framed in my studio and as soon as I deliver it, I will post it here to the blog.

A Commission...Tina's House

2016-04-19T17:15:00.000-05:00

Painting a commission is special in many ways. First, most of the time, the painting is of something very meaningful or memorable to the one who has commissioned the painting. Now, I have to say that just knowing this makes me a bit apprehensive. After I get the painting started and it seems to be coming together, I get so much joy when it is time to present it to a patron.
The following painting, "Tina's House" was commissioned by a longtime friend. She wanted three of these painted for her family. This is grandma's house where many memories were made. What could be more special? Thanks to my friend, Gina, for letting me paint these for you!
