Hi, I'm Tony ... and these are my member-artist pages on Nancy Doyle's wonderful fine-art site. Thanks for your visit. It's an "interactive" site, I hope - that's your invitation right there.
Whether you want to comment on some artwork, or purchase a print, publish something commercially, collaborate on a project, or share some of your own art or interests or creative writing, I'll be happy to reply to your messages.
Landscape Prints (Please click on this link or on the picture to go to the gallery)
Another process is that of exploring landscapes in new ways through mixed media. When you see some of these here, please tell me what you think, so that I can improve them, and please share some of your landscape art by e-mail. You can buy some limited-edition prints if you like. I'd like to exchange half a dozen or so landscape photos by e-mail with artists living in interesting villages or towns or near beautiful places - are you interested? U.S., China, Malaysia, Polynesia, Timbuctu...?

Tony Macelli was the cover-page and featured artist of a U.S. magazine, and has had artwork published also by the Malta Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Education of Malta, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, and others.
In art, he has three separate currents: one supports third world development communications, the other explores Maltese landscapes, and the third tries to express spiritual intuitions visually.
Tony has exhibited at the International Art Biennale, Malta (1997); National Museum of Fine Arts, Malta (1998); Catholic Institute, Malta (1999); Exposition 1/2000, Chauny, France (2000); Kaufering near Munich, Germany (2000); Exposition 1/2000/Laon, France (2002); Circolo Gozitano, Gozo Malta (2003). His artwork has been published by the Malta Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Education of Malta, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, UNESCO, FAO and others in the form of book covers, calendars and paintings to illustrate articles.
One of them is making paintings or graphics that support development communications in developing countries, such as material promoting anti-poverty self-help programs - so if you are a journalist or an editor interested in such areas, or need a graphic from a field photo, let's talk, please. For some development or interfaith projects, I am interested in doing at least some artwork free of charge, no obligation, to benefit the projects. Kindly send this to someone you know who might be interested.
At the above link are some samples of paintings or graphics work that I have done for UN agencies (ESCAP, UNESCO, FAO), journalists, educators and others. They are book covers, article illustrations, portraits. I am interested in suitable assignments in this area on a fee paying basis.
Whimsical Art (Please click on this link or on the picture to go to the Gallery)
Most of these were made just for fun. I hope you can relate to them in some way. Please let me know.
These and other prints are available for sale as limited edition prints. Please inquire by e-mail.
In art-as-making pictures, apart from whimsical images just for fun, I'm going through three processes. You may be interested in taking part.
The third process is really my main interest in art, and that is trying to communicate spiritual insights visually. Limited edition prints are available for some of these - please inquire via e-mail. I'm interested in publishing this type of image, so if you know a suitable publisher or agent, or if you are willing to collaborate on a suitable publication, please let me know. My poetry in this line is also available. The poems and some of the pictures go well together. I welcome inquiries from publishers, professional agents, and interested persons.
However, I'm interested in contributing to:
(a) self-help or other development programs in developing countries that benefit the poor or marginalized; and
(b) interfaith programs among major religions, based on spirituality and fellowship, dialogue, or joint development work. For these two kinds of programs I will produce some artwork free of charge and with no obligation, as my contribution to such work. If you are involved or have contacts, let's talk.
Each of these original prints is one of a small edition of only 20 prints, signed and numbered 1/20, 2/20, etc. They are mounted art-prints made with archival materials. They are not copies of an original, as there is no original. Real watercolor was combined with digital effects to produce these limited editions.
There is a message here, but it's not always one that can be put easily in words, as the pointing, of course, is beyond the thinking mind. I'll be happy to discuss them with you, if you wish. If you find something meaningful, do please let me know. Some prints may be available - please inquire.
Are you creating art that is in the same general category? If so, please let's get in touch - a couple of us with these interests have started an e-mail discussion group.
I would like to get in touch with book publishers and agents interested in this section. I also write poetry that is more or less related to some of these pictures.
