His parents encouraged his interest, buying him endless collections of pencils, crayons, erasers and reams of paper. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EHowever, Mr. Angelini started formal training in art later in life taking his first art class as a senior in high school. He impressed his teacher with his first pencil drawing and earned accolades for his ability to draw within a solid composition. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EHaving his eye on a medical career, Mr. Angelini applied and entered New York University to study in that direction. Art was calling him, however and to his parents\u0027 chagrin, he applied and was accepted to The Cooper Union taking extensive drawing, print making and sculpture courses. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EEarning a BFA, he worked as a successful illustrator for nearly thirty years and has retired from that to begin painting full time. He is also entering and getting accepted into national shows. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EHis current work has brought him full circle to why he loved art in the first place. That is trying to evoke a mood with his realism in a solid composition. To try to let the viewer experience the same emotion that made him want to paint a certain scene or portrait. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003ETrue happiness, Mr. Angelini believes, comes from following the path that was meant for one to follow in this life and he believes that, after many years, he is finally back on that path. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EHe is a member of The Oil Painters of America, The National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS) and The Portrait Society of America. \u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAwards and Exhibitions\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E2016 - Recognized as a National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters Society \u0027Signature Artist\u0027\u003Cbr /\u003E2016 - Oil Painters of America Juried Salon Show\u003Cbr /\u003E2016 - \u0027Cast Away\u0027 judged \u0027Best Oil Painting\u0027 - NOAPS 26th Annual \u0027Best Of America\u0027 Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2016 - National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters Society 26th Annual \u0027Best Of America\u0027 Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2016 - National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters\u0027 Society Spring International On-line Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters\u0027 Society Fall International On-line Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - Eastern Regional Juried Exhibition of Traditional Oils\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - Oil Painters of America 24th Annual National Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - The Artist\u0027s Magazine 32nd Annual Art Competition - Finalist: Portraits \u0026amp; Figures\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2015 - National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters Society 25th Annual \u0027Best Of America\u0027 Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2014 - National Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters Society 24th Annual \u0027Best Of America\u0027 Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2014 - The Artist\u0027s Magazine Over 60 Art Competition\u003Cbr /\u003E2013 - Trekell Artist Supplies - \u0027Featured Artist for September\u0027\u003Cbr /\u003E2013 - The Artist\u0027s Magazine 30th Annual Art Competition - Finalist\u003Cbr /\u003E2013 - The Artist\u0027s Magazine 30th Annual Art Competition - Finalist\u003Cbr /\u003E2013 - Oil Painters of America Juried Salon Show\u003Cbr /\u003E2010 - Oil Painters of America 19th Annual National Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2009 - Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2007 - National Museum of Naval Aviation - National Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2006 - National Museum of Naval Aviation - National Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003E2000 - Mack Trucks Inc. - Official Centennial Anniversary poster artist\u003Cbr /\u003E1999 - Poster artist for Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ\u003Cbr /\u003E1998 - Poster artist for the Radnor Hunt Club Concours d\u0027Elegance\u003Cbr /\u003E1998 - Invited to show paintings at Meadow Brook Hall Concours d\u0027Elegance\u003Cbr /\u003E1998 - Poster artist for Classic Car Club of America Concours d\u0027Elegance\u003Cbr /\u003E1997 - Poster artist for the Radnor Hunt Club Concours d\u0027Elegance\u003C/p\u003E","Awards":null,"HasAlbums":false,"HasPortraits":false,"HasRelationships":false,"HasArticles":false,"HasDepictedPlaces":false,"HasLetters":false,"HasLibraryItems":false,"HasProducts":false,"HasSignatures":false,"HasVideos":false,"HasMapLocations":false,"TotalArtworks":27}
