Good morning

Max Slevogt (1868–1932)
The dancer Marietta di Rigardo 1904

”I try to convey an inner peace and harmony by creating a world made of light and mood - one that is timeless and deeply personal; where imagination is free and boundless; where the sanctity of the individual soul is cherished and preserved, untouched by outside judgment or desecrated by society's labels.”
Steven Graber painting

Nôtre Dame by Night - Edouard Léon Cortes (1882-1969)

Édouard Leon Cortès (1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poete Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings.

Dusan Rajsic painting

Dusan Rajsic was born in Gospic, Croatia, in 1970. He had started his studies of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1990, and he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 1996. He is a member of the Serbian Association of Fine Artists and the editor of the art programme at the Cultural Centre in Lazarevac, Serbia.

His desire to always capture a new motion and dynamics of his ballerinas-symbols within the limited medium of a painting makes this artist always interesting and new.

Jessica Hayllar painting
(1858 - 1940)

A painter primarily of figure subjects, particularly featuring children, interiors and flowers, Jessica Hayllar came from a family well steeped in artistic tradition and was the daughter of artist James Hayllar, RBA (1829-1920). Like her sisters, Kate and Mary, Jessica studied under her father whose penchant for Pre-Raphaelite realism and colouring was to be extremely influential in her formative years.

Jessica made her Exhibition debut in 1879 and frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1880 and 1915.

Her best work, executed between 1885-1900 typically depicts quiet domestic scenes, with closely observed detail demonstrating a great naturalness and charm. These paintings were mainly executed at her Father's House, Castle Priory in Wallingford on the Thames.

In 1900, Jessica was crippled in an accident and after this date she concentrated on painting only flower subjects, particularly featuring Azaleas.

Daniel Del Orfano painting

DANIEL DEL ORFANO — Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Daniel decided to stay close to his roots and attend Dowling College in Oakdale, NY. There he received his BFA in Art Education and was teaching full time by the fall of 2001. After teaching at the prestigious Knox Boarding School, Daniel took a position in the public school system where he taught art to children of all ages. Though extremely rewarding, this was not his true calling. It was at this time Daniel decided to divert his attention from teaching art to creating art, and in the summer of 2005, he formed The Renaissance Workshop. Specializing in all things art, The Renaissance Workshop gave Daniel the opportunity to expand his horizons, creatively.

As demand for commissioned work increased, Daniel began developing his expressive style, implementing techniques that emphasized texture over realism. Though the work depicted realistic scenes, the effects produced an almost ethereal feeling. The imagery began to take a back seat to the memory of which the image represented.

Daniel Del Orfano’s work depicts life, not as it may be, but more as it is remembered- a snapshot, not of a particular moment but of an overall memory.
