smile watercolor icon GALLERY, THE - Artist Manricos Orlandi, was born in 1936 in Turin, Italy. Manrico's "pictorial technique much follows that of Renaissance masters. The choice of subjects is inspired by a sense of harmony and a high desire in looking for perfection. This is the reason why many of his works represent nudes, but his search for beauty extends to any subject, be it a landscape, an animal, a still life or a religious figure." 
smile watercolor icon MENDOCINO ART CENTER - The Mendocino Art Center is a very special place overlooking the sea from the top of the headlands.

The Art Center has earned national and international reputations which attract an impressive selection of renowned faculty members, yet has remained small enough for productive dialogues between students and teachers, professional artists and beginners.
The facilities at the Mendocino Art Center include studios and classrooms for fine arts, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, textiles and computer arts. Four gallery spaces provide exhibition opportunities to emerging and established artists. Twelve apartments are available for instructors and artists in residence. The MAC gift shop features fine art by local artists and members and the Center's Helen Schoeni Theatre is home to a thriving community theatre group.

CALIFORNIA WATERCOLOR- In the period between 1850 and today, California has been the home to a large number of extremely talented and versatile watercolor artists. While some became nationally and internationally recognized, most were largely overlooked until recent years. The group of artists working in this style often chose to paint watercolors depicting scenes of everyday life in the cities and suburbs of California. They were considered an important part of the American Scene or Regionalist movement that swept across the United States during the mid part of the twentieth century. The best of their works were painted directly with little or no preliminary pencil drawing, had bold design, creative use of the white paper as a “color” and featured the transparency of this unique medium. With the increased popularity of watercolor painting in recent years, the innovations of the California style have become part of the mainstream of American art

The variety of colors, structure, and textures in nature provide endless inspiration for subjects in my paintings. The Impressionism period of art has most influenced my work, most particularly the paintings of Monet. Since I am a self-taught painter, the style and images I produce are uniquely my own. I am constantly experimenting to produce effects that give new works a fresh appearance." Ken and I go way back and I can easily recommend Ken's site and artwork without reservation.
