What’s On my Easel in Real Time #4

Posted on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

This is the final installment of “What’s on my easel in real time” edition 1. It has been fun so look for another edition soon. Since my last post I have added 2 sections of plaster to this peice. Giornata 2 (the 2nd section of plaster and my 2nd painting day) was all of the stone work in the background.

Giornata 3 (the 3rd section of plaster and my 3rd painting day) was the scenery in the window.

Now along with Penelope she waits to be transferred. I will let the rest speak for itself, except to say that she needs a name…any suggestions?

Well… in Greek mythology Penelope's sister's name is Ipthime. She appears to Penelope in a dream to soothe her worry for her husband Odysseus. Not the prettiest name though!

hmmm, Ipthime?? Doesn't roll off the tongue very well does it? Although I like the story…ahh…I was thinking "Calypso" She was the beautiful sea nympth that kept Odysseus "occupied" on her island for a while before he returned home to Penelope….I like it but I am not sure if the word "calypso" is too heavily associated with the dance instead?? what do you think?

Liana Sofia Tumino

Celebrating 17 years of continued exploration and specialization in fresco painting, an ancient art that requires painting into wet plaster with pure pigment.

Liana Sofia creates small to medium frescoes on panels of wood, tile, stone or cement board, while larger works are detachments from wall to cloth, the result of a restoration process called “The Strappo Technique.”

Rich with the memory of the moment of capture, each fresco begins with a photograph taken within the villages of Liana Sofia's parents and grandparents. She aims to re-live the experience and beauty of each place as she paints it, to evoke a sense of presence to the viewer.

Fine art collectors across the country have become intrigued by Liana Sofia's work when they understand the historical significance of the medium as well as it’s challenges,complexity and unique beauty.
