Ritrovare il piacere di dipingere
Rediscovering the Joy of Painting
Appena tornata da un pomeriggio di pittura all’aria aperta, sono ancora un po’ coperta di vernice! Sono una pittrice pasticciona! Ho portato il mio cavalletto, tubetti di colori ad olio e pennelli nei campi vicino a casa mia in California. Quanto amo l’odore dei colori ad olio e dell’olio di lino. Mi ricorda il processo creativo!
Fresh from an afternoon of outdoor painting, I’m still a bit covered in paint! I’m a messy painter! I took my easel, tubes of oil paints, and brushes to the fields near my home in California. How I love the smell of oil paints and linseed oil—it reminds me of the creative process!
Cosa mi ha ispirato?
What Inspired Me?
Che cosa mi ha spinta a riprendere in mano i pennelli? Ottima domanda! Di solito mi trovate davanti al computer, immersa in programmi di grafica come Adobe Illustrator e Photoshop. Ma recentemente la mia cara amica Kelly Medford ha cambiato tutto.
What prompted me to pick up my brushes again? Good question! Usually, you’ll find me at my computer, immersed in graphic design programs like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. But recently, my dear friend Kelly Medford changed everything.
Un workshop a Big Sur: Natura e creatività
A Workshop in Big Sur: Nature and Creativity
Durante il suo soggiorno in California, ho partecipato a uno dei workshop di Kelly a Big Sur, una zona mozzafiato lungo la Highway 1. Le acque indaco, le onde bianche e le colline selvagge sono un paradiso per ogni pittore!
During her stay in California, I joined one of Kelly’s workshops in Big Sur, a breathtaking area along Highway 1. The indigo waters, white-capped waves, and rugged hills are a painter’s paradise!

Hello!
I am a friend and admirer of Kelly’s and follow her work on Facebook. I love this full and detailed blog entry/podcast! Seeing the images of Italy next to photos of Kelly in her environment and interacting with students is wonderful, as is hearing her speaking in Italian! I love that you include translations and your own input, as well as information on Kelly’s workshops. It’s a great vignette about a very special artist and teacher. Thank you for sharing. Best, Rebecca T.

Spread the word! Would love to have you along with us! A presto! Melissa
