Paintings at the Marketplace Cafe, Village of Oak Creek, Sedona AZ

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!   This is Ellen Perantoni again, painter of the landscape in oil in a manner inspired by the Hudson River School landscape painters..  I've been doing this blog since 2007 and it features art, art chat and purchase info. 

As most of you know, I now have my home and studio in the fabulous red rock country of Sedona AZ.   Next to Sedona nestles the Village of Oak Creek,  with the Marketplace Cafe a mecca for art, dining and entertainment.   Now a group of my paintings are an ongoing exhibit on the walls of the MPC, as pictured above.  Bev Copen curates the art at MPC and her e-mail address is beverlycopen@gmail.com      My e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com

You can stop in any day at the marketplace and purchase my art directly from the nice people there.  I will rotate the works on exhibit from time to time.  15% of the price of each piece sold will go the charity. 

The Marketplace Cafe is in a shopping plaza at the corner of State Route 179 and Jacks Canyon Road.   There is alfresco dining so you can enjoy the usually-beautiful weather of the region.  Sedona and the MPC are well worth a visit, if you haven't been here yet.  Perhaps I will see you,  and we will meet.

Have a great week!

Best, Ellen

Sunset Silhouettes with PayPal Links -- They Are Going Fast!

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!  This is Ellen Perantoni again,  painter of the landscape in oil, and today I am focusing on the dramatic appearances of  trees against a sunset.  The above paintings are small in size, mostly 11-1/2x13-1/2" on the wall in the museum quality wood frames pictured here.  When the sun is behind an object as it sets, the horizontal rays create the illusion of deliciously intense darks against the fiery clouds.  This is so much fun to paint!  I like these together as a group even more than  individually.  You can see more of my art on  www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni  and my e-mail address is   eperantoni@yahoo.com

These sunset silhouettes are immensely popular and they tend to sell fast.  So only two of these 5 paintings in the photos are available at this time, August 4, 2015.

Back O'Beyond Studio, Sedona -- New Home of My Art:

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!   Thsi is Ellen Perantoni again, painter of the landscape in oil.   Almost 6 months ago, I relocated home and studio to Sedona AZ,  location of the world famous red rocks -- "Like living in the Grand Canyon"  is the way one of my neighbors describes it.  And this is what I've been painting.  The panoramic painting to the right of my head in this photo is a view from the gallery part of my studio, where I am sitting on a corner bench that came with the space.   I paint the landscape in oil in a manner honoring the Hudson River School tradition, and now the bright colors, strong light and rugged shapes of Sedona are working their own spells upon my art.

The address is 141 Back O' Beyond Circle, Sedona AZ 86336.   The short drive to the Gallery from
 the main road is simply spectacular,  as it passes closely by world famous Cathedral Rock.  You will enjoy the short drive and it will put you in the mood to enjoy the art.   Just turn onto Back O'Beyond Road from Rt. 179 and drive until the Road becomes Back O'Beyond Circle.  

You can see more of my art on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni  and my e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com

The paintings in the above photo range from $450 to $1500. as framed..  The studio  has some oil studies and limited edition prints.  Prices start about $50. for unframed prints on paper and go up to $4000. for large oil  panoramas.  Some of my newer paintings are on 1-1/2" thick canvas with the painting continued onto the sides, so they do not have to be framed if you do not want frames..

If you cannot come to the studio, please browse the other posts on this blog, which goes back to 2007.  I will ship any of the works in the blogs -- those that are not already sold -- and if you order a painting from an internet photo without first seeing the painting you can return it for a refund within 30 days if you are not delighted.

 Most people think my art looks better in actuality, because digital photos do not capture their true depth and detail.  . 

There is a somber note in all this joy and beauty, however.   Today the "Slide Fire"  still rages 18 miles to the north of this paradise, in irreplaceable Oak Creek Canyon.  I have been there many times, and in fact started a painting of the canyon about 2 weeks ago.   I hope much of its beauty will remain untouched and that the 1000+ brave firefighters will soon have the Slide Fire out..  They expect 23,000 acres of canyon forest will be consumed before this can be done.

 Fortunately,  there has been no loss f life or property from the fire and I pray that does not change. I will continue to celebrate the beauty of Oak Creek Canyon with my landscape art.   The most accessible parts of the canyon are being saved by over 1000 firefighters. 

Enjoy the blog -- click on "Older Posts" to read posts going back to 2007.  And when you go camping or picnicking this summer --please be careful with your campfires.

I would love to hear from you.

Best, Ellen

Parrot Rock, from Schnebly HIll Road

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!  This is Ellen Perantoni again, painter of the landscape in oil in a manner inspired by the Hudson River School painters of the nineteenth century, and the finest landscape painters of the West.  (Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran fit magnificently into both categories....)  This nearly-incredible scene is among my favorites in my new home, Sedona AZ.  And yes, in case you were wondering, the rock formations here really are roseate-- allowing for the limitations of digital photography.  The actual painting's colors are softer and richer, and this oil painting appears much more three-dimensional when you are actually looking at it.   The colors are softer, highlights and shady spots.

    My e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com and you can see more of my art on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni    The recent paintings are of Sedona's red rock country, and my earlier paintings are primarily scenes of the Hudson Valley, NY, where I first learned to love the natural landscape,.

        This work is on 16x20" stretched canvas and is currently drying in my studio. Subject to prior sale, it will beon exhibit April 25-27 at my Open Studio here is Sedona, as part of the SVAC Open Studios weekend.  On this weekend, 39 area studios will be open to the public in a free self-guided tour.  Free maps to the studios will be available at many area Tourist Centers and hotels, or contact me to receive a map.

     This work, Parrot Rock from Schnebly Hill Road, is priced at $1700. unframed, or I will frame it as you choose.  If you cannot come to see it on Open Studios weekend  I'll be happy to show it and other paintings by appointment.  Sedona is in northern Arizona, about 100 miles north of Phoenix.

    If you purchase a painting from an Internet photo you can return it for a refund if you are less than delighted.  Most people feel my art looks much better in actuality;  the details and depth are not apparent from digital photos on the Internet.

   Have a great week!  I would love to hear from you.   Best, Ellen

       

Cathedral Rock Portrait and Sedona Open Studio April 25-27

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!  And special thanks to all of you who have followed this blog 2500 miles across the USA, from east to west, as I moved home and studio to the fabulous red rock country of Sedona AZ.   As most of you know, I paint the landscape in oil, with a luminosity and attention to detail inspired by the Hudson River School painters of the nineteenth century.  The bold silhouettes and colors of red rock country (usually set off by brilliant blue skies) , inspire me to create a new body of work.   I will open my new studio doors on the earliest examples of this body of work (as well as many works I painted in the Hudson Valley)  from April 25-27 here in Sedona.

Anyone who is interested in visiting my studio, that weekend or at another time by appointment, please let me know.  My e-mail address is still eperantoni@yahoo.com, and you can get a quick overview of paintings I currently have available on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni

The painting above shows perhaps the most world-famous view in Sedona, the front of Cathedral Rock with its "peace sign" visible.  While this is a realistic painting as are most of my paintings,  I made are subtle changes in the forms of this natural treasure  which I found particularly exciting.  The actual painting is clearer and sharper, and the colors are more subtle -- it is my constant lament that digital photos do not capture my art work as well as I would like.  Digital photos are a quick and easy way to view art -- this I will grant -- but at the expense of showing the quality.    And quality is especially precious to me.  I spend a great deal of time getting my paintings as close to perfection as I can manage.

This painting is on 18x24" stretched canvas and is currently hanging in my studio.  I have it framed in a simple wide tarnished gold frame that I think sets it off well. The price is $2500.

If you cannot come to the studio and you purchase a work of art from an internet photo you can return it for a refund within 30 days if you are less than delighted.  Most people feel my art looks much better in actuality.  You can read comments from people who purchased my art over the Internet on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni

As many of you know, Sedona AZ is  about 2 hours north of Phoenix, AZ and within several hours of points in Nev., NM, Utah and CA.  It is a fabulous year round vacation spot and late April is especially delightful here.  I will be posting more about the Open Studios weekend (you can see a total of 39 area art studios then).

Well, I am going to do some more work on the new studio.  Have a great week!

I would love to hear from you.

Best, Ellen

Cathederal Rock Verso

Hello again, art lovers and blog readers!   This is Ellen Perantoni, painter of the landscape in oil, inspired by the Hudson River School masters of the nineteenth century.    I am settling my home and studio into Sedona AZ. now,  and joyfully indulging my love of color and fabulous light by painting the Sedona red rocks.  I am treated to this particular fabulous view almost every day as I drive to and from my new home.  The massive face of Cathedral Rock is world famous, as well, for its feature of a group of tiny spires that resembles the universal peace sign. You can see more of my art, including views of Cathedral Rock from other angles,  at www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni  and my e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com

     The above view is still drying in my studio here in Sedona.   It is executed on a 16x20" stretched canvas framed as you see in a wide tarnished gold frame that brings the size on the wall to about 24x28".  It is priced $1900.

       Collectors and friends are welcome to view my art in my studio by appointment.   If you purchase a work of art from a digital Internet image you can return it for refund within 30 days if you are not delighted.  Most people feel my work looks better in actuality, with details and depth that cannot be appreciated from digital dot-matrix photographs.

        I hope you will enjoy this blog, with posts going back to 2007 and also including many images of Hudson Valley region paintings I did when I was living in that region.   To view earlier blog pages click on "Older Posts" at the bottom of this page.

Windows in Time, First Breakthrough

Hello, art lovers and blog readers!   This is Ellen Perantoni, painter of the landscape in oil,  posting one of the first paintings I have been inspired to create by my new home among the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona.   I felt the need to pursue warmth and sunshine and, in do doing, have settled among one of the world's most spectacular landscapes.  The rosy red sandstone cliffs here are a glorious anomaly of nature, described by one enthusiast as "like living in the Grand Canyon."   You can see more of my art on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni and you can e-mail me at eperantoni@yahoo.com

Some of the caves and passages in these red rocks are decorated with petroglyphs by early Native American tribes,  and these intrigue and inspire me too.  A hint of same,  worn down by time, appear in this painting of a cave opening through which distant red rock formations can be seen.  An imaginary cave, I admit -- the beauty of this region is exciting in istelf, but this particualarr image exists only in my imagination -- and now on this canvas.

I executed this work on a 24x30" stretched canvas which I also painted on the sides so it resembles, as closely as I can manage, a chunk of red rock.  It is drying in my studio at present, and is priced at $4000.  I would consider a payment plan/fair offer from a sincere collector. 

Interested collectors are always welcome in my studio,by appointment.  To visit the studio these days you will need to come to Sedona -- not exactly difficult, especially at this season, when the January sun is mild and pleasant on most days.   The vegetation is more abundant than is usually associated with popular images of "desert" or even the "high desert", which is what Sedona is, at about 4300 ft. above sea level.   Most of the vegetation retains its deep green year round.

It is beautiful, and I anticipate a surge of joyous creativity here. 

 If you wish to purchase any of my art works through the mail, you an return it for refund within 30 days if youa re less than delighted.  Most people feel my art looks better in actuality than in digital images on the Net -- there is a lot of depth and detail you cannot appreciate in such photos.

I am working on more "Windows in Time" paintings, as well as paintings of views from my home and other places I love here.  

Have a great week, and I hope you enjoy this blog. I would love to hear from you. 
best, Ellen
