eBay My World: artisticrelease( 166)

This seller currently has no items for sale.

My name is Bernie Rosage, Jr. I'm a simple man... one who appreciates the simple things in life. Many artists thrive with creativity in times of turmoil... I'm just the opposite... give me peace and harmony and the creative juices flow much easier... That is why I love working from life and enjoying nature. Like most artists... I feel the need to create... art is therapeutic for me. One of my favorite ways to paint is on location en plein aire... the French term literally translates in open air. I am completely self taught... except for a little help from my friends... my fellow artist friends that is.... who so generously share their thoughts and knowledge with me. We hang out much like the Impressionistic artists of old did in the cafes of Paris... only in a cyberspace kind of way. Every painting takes me one step closer to the level I desire to achieve. Thanks for joining me on my quest... my artistic release.

I have a passion for oil painting and am satisfied in saying that if I never worked in another medium it wouldn't matter to me. I feel a strong kinship to the Impressionists and my style leans in their direction. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and still lifes make up the bulk of my work. I am drawn to country roads, marshlands, cottages, barns, trees, open fields, flowing rivers and streams... anything that eludes to a peaceful, calming feeling when viewed. Many of my paintings are nostalgic and evoke feelings of simpler times. The majority of the paintings I offer here are painted alla prima (in one sitting) either from life, imagination, or photographs (mostly my own personal photos). Most of my paintings listed here are smaller formats... 5x7, 6x8, 6x12 inches. This allows for affordable collecting and serves to create a strong work ethic for me as I usually paint one a day. All paintings are signed originals, archival on canvas or 1/4 inch gessoed panels, and labors of love.

You are visiting my work for one of two reasons... either you are an artist yourself or you are a collector of art. Either way... we share the common bond that unites us... our love of art. We recognize the importance of art in our society, history, and sense of being. Pablo Picasso said it best when he mentioned that art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life. If you are an art collector... Thank you! What would the art world be like without you? Our museums and galleries would be empty, artists would lose a platform to grow from, and all our lives would have less meaning. Many times you are the wind beneath our wings and give us the opportunity to create. If you are an artist... I want to encourage you to follow your dreams, passion, and heart as you feel/fill that need to create. I can't think of a better job (if we can even call it a job) than creating and communicating through our artwork. Together... we share the responsibility of keeping the arts alive!
