Niko Pirosmani (Georgian: ნიკო ფიროსმანი), simply referred to as Nikala (ნიკალა) (1862–1918), was a Georgian naïve painter who posthumously rose to prominence.
Pirosmani was born in the Georgian village of Mirzaani to a peasant family in Kakheti province. His parents, Aslan Pirosmanashvili and Tekle Toklikishvili, were farmers, who owned a small vineyard, with a few cows and oxen. He was later orphaned and left in the care of his two elder sisters, Mariam and Pepe. He moved with them to Tbilisi in 1870. In 1872, while living in a little apartment not far from Tbilisi railway station, he worked as a servant to wealthy families and learned to read and write Russian and Georgian. In 1876, he returned to Mirzaani and worked as a herdsman.
Pirosmani gradually taught himself to paint. One of his specialties was painting directly into black oilcloth. In 1882, with self-taught George Zaziashvili, he opened a painting workshop, where they made signboards. In 1890, he worked as a railroad conductor. In 1893, he co-founded a dairy farm in Tbilisi, which he left in 1901. Throughout his life, Pirosmani, who was poor, was willing to take ordinary jobs including housepainting and whitewashing buildings. He also worked for shopkeepers in Tbilisi, creating signboards, paintings, and portraits, according to their orders. Although his paintings had some local popularity (about 200 survive) his relationship with professional artists remained uneasy; making a living was always more important to him than aesthetic abstractions.
In April 1918, he died in the 1918 flu pandemic resulted from malnutrition and liver failure. He was buried at the Nino cemetery; the exact location was not registered and is unknown.

This is the largest canvas I have ever worked with. I bought it at a sale and have had to take time to think about what I would do. It's always hard to make a start to a work of art, for me, but after the very first touch of paint, I can pretty much jump in! I had to give this one a lot of thought, too, as to subject matter. THAT is a difficult thing, too- to decide WHAT to do!
OH! And my pallet was limited because I only used house paint that was left by the previous owners or paint I was currently using at the house! Kind of a "memories" color pallet for the cottage!
This canvas is 4 feet x 4 feet- I hardly have a wall big enough at Lagniappe to accommodate it! What glorious fun!
I will post the rest of the series, so you can see how the painting developed! :)

lonely:1
mixed media on wood: house paint, photograph, doll, fishing lure, rusted nail, rusted bead, stamp
14" X 9" X 1"
EXPLANATION OF PIECE:
this past summer i was traveling down a back road in utah and saw a old baby doll sitting on the front porch of an antique store. i was drawn to her.
since i have so many old baby dolls sitting in my art studio, and little room for another, i decided to take a photograph of her so i could remember her.
she looked so lonely to me (hence the title). perhaps lonely for her "long ago" little girl owner?
when i came home i knew i wanted to make an art piece to remember her. i happen to have an old piece of painted wood that i found in the trash and knew it would be perfect.
i "worked on" the colors of the photograph to suit the painted wood.
and here she is.....lonely.

self portrait 7: don't let the demons get you down
mixed media: on wood" acrylic paint, indoor house paint, stamps
24" X 19"
does anyone ever feel this way:
EXPLANATION OF THIS SELF PORTRAIT:
there are times, when i am in between art pieces, that i walk around my house and art studio and look at my work and think (of a particular piece or 2 or 3....) "that is good!". and then i start to feel that i will never be able to do anything again that "good" (as i view my art). i start to feel that "i have said, in my art, everything there is to be said. i have nothing further to say/do". i start to feel "who am i kidding. me an artist. there are so many amazing artists out there in the world".
in other words, i am assailed by the "demons" of "doubt"!. and these "demons" do get me down. sometimes it is hard for me to start working, and once i do, i do not like what i am producing (although that often changes when i am finished and view the piece).
this self portrait is me....the demons have "gotten to me". i "doubt" myself as an artist (not all the time does this happen, but...).
so i decided to exorcise the demons by "getting them out" (in this painting).

self portrait 6: flying high
when life goes well there is an inner sense of joy and peace. i feel i can do anything i want to do...even reach for the heavens. nothing is beyond my grasp!
i am riding high (on the horse).
the figure on the lower right is me looking at all i have/will accomplished, specifically in my art.
my hand is outstretched as i reach for new expression, new adventures, new directions. the baby in the hand is me growing and maturing as an artist.
the green face is me looking off into the future to see what awaits....the sun, the moon, the stars!

Walpamur of Darwen, Lancs used to be a household name, but haven't seen their products or ads for a long while. I hadn't realised that the strange name is, in fact, a peculiar shortening of 'The Wall Paper Manufacturers'. Google also reveals that the company still has an address in Darwen and that this once was the most popular paint brand among professional decorators, affectionately known as 'Wallop' (or so we are told).

as we grow we all go through changes...from baby to young girl to young woman to....now. these changes are reflected by not just appearance, but by intangibles that are within us.......we take our self with us as we grow (both the good and not so good), but hopefully we can also modify, add, enhance aspects of our self to fit the (growing) time and life we are living.
i am looking at myself.....the various "me"....a portrait within a portrait.
the (large) "me" is smiling.........i am happy with whom i am.....i will continue to grow and change i am sure......but......i am quite pleased with how i have nurtured myself.

self portrait 2: shedding my skin
mixed media: painted on wood, acrylic paint, water color paint , paper, stamps
17" L x 19" h
2008
we all have "skin"/layers that form who we are. there are times when we closely wrap ourselves in these "skins" as a way to define, protect, entice, exhibit, etc., all aspects of who we are.
in this self portrait i show myself (in the main figure) totally naked...without my self protective layer...yet, there is still some hidden aspect as i am looking at the world (and the world is seeing me) through binoculars.....i can hid (behind them) and yet i can magnify what is "out there" in order to see more clearly.
the figure to the right is me, as i "shed my skin"....ready to be open to life's possibilities....yet, still slightly cautious.....hence the "sunglasses".
the figure to the left is me as i appear to myself , not closed, no need to hid, no "skin" to shed....open to all the myriad possibilities the world has in store for me.
i am sitting in my hand.....i control my life, my fate, my destiny......and even, i suppose.....how many layers i have/or need to have.

Putting more color facades in the city:
Artist Alex Culafic, who created the jungle gable together with fellow artist Carl-Adam Kjellström and others in the Kollektivet Livet.
With the help of a skylift and around 400 spray cans of outdoor paint in around 70 shades, they have transformed the facade into a lush oasis with a colorful bird, a zebra, a chameleon and a frog in a week and a half. A giraffe can also be seen in the giant painting.
Great work!
