Painting Monograms: 1


 Painting Monograms

Most of my paintings are signed with only initials or a monogram.   In my most recent paintings this summer I have incorporated a signature monogram as an element of the painting.

In Sydney's Service the monogram is her logo on her laptop.


In In My Library a book themed monogram is on the cover of the book I am holding.


The nameplate "RoMiWa" on the sailboat in Bowsprit  is my signature.

Greek Festival Week

Image
  Greek Festival Week This week is the annual Greek Festival at Wilmington's Holy Trinity Church.  I've painted the church twice, each one commissioned by a Holy Trinity parishioner.  A line of Greek dancers at the festival were elements of both paintings. A detail from the first painting, a watercolor on paper...  And a detail from the second painting, acrylic on canvas, now with ancient Greek dancers meeting the modern folk dancers...  Here's the second painting in its entirety...  Opa! Opa!

Bridges of the Brandywine

Image
  Bridges of the Brandywine In my posting last month, The Three Bridges ( https://rmw-ramblings.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-three-bridges.html),  I mentioned that that project lead me to investigating all of the other bridges over the Brandywine in the Delaware section.  I visited and photographed all of them and researched their historic predecessors in the photo collections at the Delaware Historic Society and the Hagley Museum Library.  I painted watercolor views of each of them, then using scans of the individual paintings created a pictorial map of the Brandywine.  I had 18 x 24 inch prints of  Bridges of the Brandywine produced.   The border of the print is modeled on the truss work of some of these bridges.  The legend is modeled on Delaware historic markers.  For display I built a frame overlaid with truss-like metalwork built from pieces of an old Erector set. I have some copies of this print/poster still available.

Artists of W 18th Street: Margo Mavrantonis Johnson

Image
  Artists of W 18th Street Margo Mavrantonis Johnson Margo Mavrantonis Johnson is a W 18th St artist who is still active, although no longer living on our block.  Margo is retired from her art teaching career but continues to paint professionally.  She paints a variety of subjects, but my favorites are the structures and streetscapes from her frequent European trips, especially to her second home, Greece.  We treasure her Christmas cards which depict a peripatetic snowman who has visited New Castle, Tuscany and Greece, but has yet to experience a meltdown.       Margo has a studio and gallery representation in the Opera House, 304 Delaware  Street in old New Castle, Delaware, and a web site at https://margojohnson.artspan.com/exhibits.html.  There is an extensive gallery of her work there.
