The Necklace I Bought in New York
Oils on Oak Panel 8.5"x10.5" Unframed
I have never been clear about the real purpose of a self-portrait and although I have done many of them in photography, I haven't done many in painting. To me they are like confessions or secrets.
Anyone wishing to commision a portrait is welcome to contact me at delguidicestudio@hotmail.com

Self Portrait With Uncombed Hair
Oil on Oak Panel 11"x13" Framed
Very special frame on this peice! I have been in somewhat of a painting depression. While I love doing the paintings of the day, I really am a portraitist and decided that my vacation from the face was over. As is to be expected, I needed to rest after my vacation so I stopped painting for a few days. Forgive me, those of you faithfuls, who continued to look each day.
Love Helen

Table for One
Oil on Oak Panel 9.5"x13" Framed
Here in Rome there is a little Trattoria called 'Angelo's'. Angelo was a pro rugby player and his ears are the proof, they are actually cauliflower-ed. The service is rough and the food hearty, but it's the atmosphere that counts most.

Holy Watermark
In a dirty viaduct under the Kennedy expressway in Chicago something extraodinary has happened. Water has seeped through the concrete and stained the wall a variety of gritty colors. The city's lousy attempt to seal the leak lead to more leaking, and more staining until someone realized why the water could not be stopped. Now celebrated as an "appearence of Jesus" many Chicagoans graffiti messages of love and hope around the stain, leave gifts, even money, lots of flowers.

Picture of Jesus
Oil on Oak Panel - 8.5"x11" Framed
I do peruse the churches here in Rome where I find some very interesting visual imagery. Stepping out of the busy streets into suspended time I found this little entrance table with a portrait of Jesus waiting. The eyes were holograms. They opened and closed, turned away and winked.

Francesca's Barbie (she's half the woman I am)
oil on oak panel 9.5"x 11.5" Framed
I find myself confronted with Barbie lately and frankly she is getting on my nerves! I spend time teaching children and watch them interact with Barbie. They look at me, they look at her. I look at me, I look at her. The comparison begins.

"Graffiti New York-Style"
This is a Poloroid Fun-Cam shot of a very self-expressive bathroom stall in NYC. Note the sticker of Bob Saget in the upper right corner! The thing I love about the Fun-Cam is that when used to take artistic photographs, that is, if given the respectable subject of a good camera, the photos have a lusciously surreal quality. They are like little paintings.

"Graffiti Chicago-Style"
"Graffiti Chicago-Style" is oils on oak panel - 5.5"x7.5"
Nothing describes the vibe, the undercurrent of a city like its grafitti especially in the bathrooms of coffee houses. I find myself lingering reading and taking photos til somebody bangs on the door. In my own nostalgic way this painting is like a visit home, a reminder of other people and other moods, other muses.

TUESDAY
"Hay on the Appian Way"
This painting is such a little beauty! It is 7.5"x9" oils on oak panel framed in a deep copper-gold frame.
I saw this scene riding the motorcycle with Massimo out the Appian Way which was the first road built out of Rome to the south and is still littered with ruins and sculpture of its historic past. You know the saying "All roads lead to Rome"... it came from the building of the Appian Way!
