University Ave., will open a new show, featuring the work of Ondre Pettingill and Richard Russell. Rus-sell. Ondre . Pettingill, a Springville resident, was born in California and spent his childhood growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He knew he wanted to be an artist by the age of five. He has also lived in Peru, New York City. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Utah State University. Pattingill's early emphasis was in illustration and worked as a full-time illustrator illustra-tor for many years in New York City. His work has graced the covers and pages of many books and magazines. In the early 90's, while he was also working at the Whitney Museum Mu-seum of American Art in New York City, his painting style went through a metamorphosis. meta-morphosis. By 1993 he decided to pursue pur-sue fine art exclusively because be-cause he wanted to be free to think and express ideas and feelings through his paint and canvas. Pettingill's work is a type of Contemporary Impressionism Impres-sionism and reflects a style not unlike Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt who painted looking for non-staged, behind be-hind the scenes lives of their subjects. He readily admits that the works of John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, Anders Zorn, Velazquez, Ve-lazquez, J.W. Waterhouse, Edgar Degas, and Franz Hals have also influenced his interest in capturing the candid, can-did, private lives of people. The "Commoners" of life is a theme that flows through the artwork of Ondre again and again. His subjects are caught in candid moments of every day life. He paints the people who do the jobs that bind society together the people who make up the fabric of the world. While observing one of Ondre's paintings you'll find yourself caught up in the lives of mothers reading to their children, friends in each others arms, people at work and many other every day moments. He will be teaching high school art this fall at the American Leadership Academy Acade-my in Spanish Fork. Also featured will be the work of Richard Russell whose oil paintings range from landscapes alive with movement and color to por traiture characterized by skillful composition and the dynamics of light.
