Day 2 will be at Barrie Art Club Studio continuing to learn how to integrate reference photo images into our plein air paintings.
About the Artist
As an artist, Sam Paonessa feels most at home in a natural environment. Painting en plein air nourishes his soul and adds a spiritual dimension to his artistic experience. His award-winning body of work also includes many still life, urban landscapes, and figurative pieces. A member of the Ontario Society of Artists, Sam is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art (now OCADU). In a distinguished career that spans five decades, his proficiency as an illustrator and artist was developed and honed in a lengthy tenure at Hallmark Cards Canada. Many original pieces he created there have been widely reproduced and have enjoyed commercial success throughout North America and overseas.
