Artist’s Palette Magazine, Issue 71 (Published by Woodlands Publishing Pty Ltd) distributed to North America, New Zealand and Singapore, has in this month’s publication featured a 6 page Insight Article and Demonstration about my work.

A very heartfelt thank you to its editor, Trevor Lang for providing me this opportunity to show some of my artworks and talk about my art journey and early inspiration, and also to show a work in progress via Demonstration featuring

Trevor has been more than generous featuring me in this art publication when some of my Watercolour Ladies appeared in the section Lang’s Gallery supporting beginning and emerging Australian artists last year.

The magazine is available now through newsagents and via subscription.

Thank you also to the magazine providing me with a quarter page add for Perugina Art which will appear in next month’s issue.

A huge thank you to those who have already seen the article and have emailed me or dropped me a line with best wishes of love, encouragement and support.

abbracci a voi tutti
hugs to you all.

Suzie, You are such a sweet person to have sent me this email.
I wasn’t even aware that the magazine was going to be out so soon.
You obviously subscribe – i have not seen it.
It pleases me to have you say it was an inspiring read. I have been so anxious over it.
Thank you for your heartfelt well wishes- i also wish this for you and your art being such an inspiration to those you touch and help.
You are indeed a woman with a huge heart and a great deal of patience and i admire you greatly.
I hope we have another chance to meet up and talk in 2009.
In the mean time…take care

wayne said...

PG, it's a great and worthy credit to you to be honoured in this way, featured in an AP article devoted to your art. I applaud your intuitive approach, painting from the heart, inspired by Nature, the imagination. You bring an increasingly rarefied sincerity of emotion and compassion into your works such as your recent We Cry. Matisse said this about sincerity in art, "Above all, it [art] demands sincerity. I want to keep myself always in a high state of sincerity; for it is impossible to deflect inspiration." Your diversity of style i also admire and this reminds me of the great Chinese proverb, "When you draw a tree, you must feel yourself gradually growing with it." I pick up that feeling in Garden God II. And also in many other drawings, paintings and writings of yours.
Congrats again!
~wayne

perugina said...

Hey Jade, Aw…what a wonderful thing to say, to wish this for me as it is also my wish for you.
A little bird tells me that our paths will cross at some point in 09 - all going well.
I will look for you on that clear night mate!
My love to you.
(((HUGS))


Wendy, Thank you for these heartfelt well wishes and those beautiful inspiring words - I am touched! I will be beaming these thoughts back to you - all the very very best for your upcoming exhibition with the girls, will be thinking of you.
(((HUGS)))


My touchstone… hey Sandra, Re the computer…I’M BACK! YES!!!!!!!!
Thank you so so much for your enthusiasm and for your friendship, support and love.
Haven’t installed “that talky thingy yet!” Lol!!! I am still having some computer glitches… almost back to normal. Can’t wait to talk to you and get your thoughts and more importantly catching up on all the news!
Keep safe and keep well!
(((HUGS)))


Hey Vesna,…lol!!! (((BLUSH))) You are just over the top man!
Can’t wait to get me a real life sample of your enthusiasm 'for life!'
(((HUGS))) to you…and hush now.


I love when the L makes an appearance!
Glitches…yeah…an understatement - have undergone a complete makeover - should have just re- issued me with a whole new unit!
Thank you for your continued support here inside ‘the blogosphere’ and on the outside!
(((HUGS)))


Wayne, It is somewhat surreal seeing my work in print this way. I feel honored to have been included in this publication twice now - a wonderful opportunity to share with readers of the magazine a little of my journey so far, and an opportunity to also give something back by way of a work in progress - to share insights and information/like passing on ‘a baton.’;) I hope my passion for painting works such as GGII transfers itself - not just in the painting process, but also the inspiration/connections/emotions.
Your own words left here contain volumes of encouragement for me, as do the quotes below from Matisse and in particular the Chinese proverb (*synchronicity*), inspiration itself!
‘Painting from the heart, inspired by Nature, the imagination.’ - is at the cuore-heart of Perugina Art, “My works are very much inspired by my own direct experiences with emotions attached. I cannot simply paint for painting’s sake. I need that spark, a thought, which then sets fire to a concept, which is then developed and hopefully carried through to completion.”
My sincere gratitude for your support, encouragement and well wishes.


Hey David, Thanks for calling in again - so nice to have your support, I’m sitting here ‘chuffed’ whilst writing my reply to you - that you would go to the trouble of trying to pick up a copy over there to have a squizz!
Take care and make sure you always get home before dark!


Hi there Ron,
Who's a lucky boy...NZ eh?
Well I’m sure you'll have a few stories then!
Will look forward to the tales in w/c group as we 'high five' each other!

Wow CONGRATULATIONS Patricia, that looks like a fantastic feature, wish I could read it! Also a few pics I'm not familiar with. I don't suppose it's available over here, do they have a website where they archive articles, or can you post bigger files soon?
