We Will not be stopped

“All force strives forward... Yet we are checked and thwarted on each side by the world's flux and swept along like sand: In this internal storm and outward tide we hear a promise, hard to understand: from the compulsion that all creatures binds, who overcomes himself, his freedom finds.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Contest Winners

The delivery Boy by Alex Bellotti

First Place

Alex Bellotti - Delivery Boy

Oil  on Canvas, 18"x 20", April 2020

$750


This painting came about because of a small photograph I took over 45 years ago in Mexico, of the young boy crossing the street, with the paper bag containing some sweet pastries.  Upon finding the small black and white print as I was going through junk and stuff during quarantine, I realized the scene’s charm just begged to be painted.  With the large Corona Extra beer sign, I was going to call it “Corona,” but the painting wasn’t about the sign or the virus, but the boy!

Second Place

Rebecca Ryan Rodriguez - Heart Of Life

Watercolor,  9"x 12", May 2020

Prints for Sale $35


I was inspired by a difficult time in my life.  My father passed away.  I started it a while back, but it wasn't until recently I finished it.  I feel like this piece symbolizes a change and growth from that experience and loss.  My life had changed forever and I'll never be quiet the same.  I'll always miss him, but I have my memories of him.  I cherish the time I have with the people I love and the impact he had and continues to have in my life.

Third Place

Joanna D. Walitalo - The New Bar

Pyrography on Pine, 10"x 12", January 2020

Not For Sale


 We live in a rural area, with a very hometown feel and tight knit community. "The New Bar" was a commissioned piece I did for my neighbor, depicting her brother and his dog. I commonly do custom portraits of people and pets, but this one struck me as having a feel to it of family, relaxation after a hard day's work, and the resilience of our friends and neighbors to adapt to the changing times and still have a positive outlook on life.

My painting "Electrifying Elegance" was made during Covid. I felt down from not getting out of the house so I told myself to brighten up and smile. This painting represents the beauty, brightness, and characteristics of an electrifying soul that we all should be even during tough times.

Alex Bellotti The Red Cane

Oil on Canvas, 18"x 24", April 2020

Not For Sale


The Red Cane is of an old Gentleman I met  20 years ago. I took a black and white photo and forgot about it until I was going through stuff while quarantined. I realized he needed to be painted. The painting took very little time, as he just came to life. 

“Believe. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted island, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.”

 “It is by fighting the limitations, temptations, and failures of the world that we reach our highest possibilities.”
― Helen Keller
