Introducing:
Craig Bone
One of the greatest names in the world of Contemporary Wildlife Art.
"Dedication to the study of animals in their natural habitats"

Craig Bone was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1955. He studied Graphic Art at Natal University, South Africa. In 1977 Craig returned to Zimbabwe to preform his National Service in the Rhodesian Light Infantry. During this time Craig was totally influenced by the war in which he found himself immersed.

He painted vivid scenes of combat. At this stage of his life Craig was severely wounded by a mortar attack, which almost cost him his legs and his life. Luckily he survived, but was unable to continue with his military career. That is when Craig decided to start painting full time.

On a trip to the Zambezi Valley Craig was filled with inspiration by the bush and wildlife of Zimbabwe, resulting in his choice to paint this environment. Craig's focus changed drastically, utilizing his photographic skill and sketches from the wild, he concentrated on producing extremely realistic glimpses of the exotic beauty of Africa.

In more recent years, Craig has devoted both his time, energy and skills to helping young Zimbabwean artists in developing their talents. He was intensely involved with teaching art at his children's junior and senior schools in rural Zimbabwe. He has also donated his artworks to various charitable organizations over the years. Craig has a strong sense of community spirit.

Another exciting view

Croatian Naive Art Moves to 615 Channelside Drive on the waterfront of Tampa, Florida.

Paintings of the World Agrees to Display Reverse Glass Paintings.

With regard to the Croatian Naive Art, former communist suppression has kept this art form a European phenomenon until now. Most Croatian Naive Artists have been painting for 35-40 years and are internationally recognized as having taken this art form to the highest level. Painting with oils on the reverse side of a piece of glass, the artist must sign his signature backwards first so that when you view the finished work from the front it reads properly. Details and foreground are also done before anything else. Once dry, the artist can proceed to the middle ground and when that is completely dry, the background. Every step of the process is the exact reverse from traditional painting on canvas. Painting backwards, in reverse, on the back side of a common pane of glass.

PAINTINGS OF THE WORLD
Presents: Ferdie Pacheco "The Fight Doctor to Muhammad Ali"
November 7, 2009 (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm)


Ferdie Pacheco was born in Tampa, Florida on December 8, 1927 with deep ancestral roots in Spain. As a painter, his imaginative use of color and design along with his aggressive use of vivid, slashing, colorful patterns exude a sense of strength expressing the bold, gutsy, personal statements of a man who has immersed himself fully in life. Pacheco has the rare ability to transfer these experiences onto canvas through intense color and brushstrokes. His skills earned him the Gold Medal and First Prize in Tonnins, France: the First Prize, Best Colorist at Musee Du Luxembourg.

Dr. Pacheco will present his art at the fine art gallery "Paintings of the World" in Tampa, Florida. One Night Only! Do not miss this opportunity to shake hands and hear stories from both the art and the boxing world from a legend who is living and has live what mere mortals can only dream about. I have taken the liberty to include the biography of this great man at the bottom for further reading.

His paintings are in the collections of many leading personalities and celebrities such as Andy Garcia, Evander Holyfield, Budd Schulberg, Shirley MacLaine, Ernest Borgnine, Petula Clark, and Dan Duva to name a few.

His painting of Gandhi is going to be a U.S. Postage Stamp October 2009 chosen by the United Nations for International Nonviolence Day.

A documentary on his life Ferdie Pacheco "The World of the Fight Doctor" was shown in two film festivals. Paintings of the World, IT IS WITH AWE AND INSPIRATION, to announce an appearance by "The Fight Doctor" to Muhammad Ali - Dr. Ferdie Pacheco will be made. Dr. Pacheco's presence at this event will be colored with his stories of his love for both the art and boxing world. This is a one night event only. Enjoy complimentary wine, entertainment and the beauty of downtown waterfront Tampa, Florida. Paintings of the World is a Fine Art Gallery in downtown Tampa, Florida that sits comfortably among the elegance of Channelside Drive on the waterfront. Paintings of the World has experienced a complete, brilliant renovation, and has thus had a rebirth into the world of fine and investment art.
