LAGUNA BEACH ARTIST FEATURED IN "COMMUNITY FOCUS SPACE PROGRAM" AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT
by Editor
SANTA ANA, Calif. – A selection of paintings by Laguna Beach artist
Mark Jacobucci will be on display through
January 30, 2012 in the
Thomas F. Riley Terminal as part of
John Wayne Airport’s
Community Focus Space Program.
His artwork can be seen on
the departure (upper) level
near the security screening areas and on
the arrival (lower) level
near baggage carousels 1 and 4.
Jacobucci’s paintings are primarily landscapes: beaches, coastlines and rural scenes.
“Often I try to see and paint the
beauty in an ordinary everyday scene,
such as
an alleyway or
a street intersection,” said Jacobucci.
The JWA exhibition will feature
seven oil paintings depicting
playing,
working
and driving around in
Orange County.
Known for using
vibrant colors,
large brushstrokes and
plein air methods,
Jacobucci gives a contemporary flair to his paintings.
He studied painting in high school on
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, attended
Brandeis University for his
Bachelors of Arts Degree and the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, earning a Master’s of Liberal Arts Degree (MLA).
After receiving his
MLA in Landscape Architecture in
1984,
Jacobucci came to
California the following year to work in the profession at
an internationally acclaimed design firm in
Laguna Beach.
He continued to paint and sketch and took painting classes at the
Laguna College of Art.
Jacobucci’s work is displayed in various exhibitions including the
Festival of Arts in
Laguna Beach since
2001, and is held by numerous private collectors and corporations.
Corporate collectors include:
The Hyatt Hotels,
Irvine Company,
Irvine Apartment Communities,
Peralta Partners,
McDermott Will & Emery,
Transtar,
Corrigan Law,
Coffee Architects,
Broadcom, and
Union Bank.

"What?!"
"I didn't say anything."
"How can you say such a thing?"
"I'm not going through this again."
"What do you mean?"
"All this -- denial. I'm done. I'm just going to say exactly what happened as I remember it."
"It never happened!"
"The reason I know it happened is that I renember it. I was eight years old. My brother was twelve years old. I was able to recover the date because I remember at some point in the week preceding the event, our father for some reason had told us, I'm going to be speaking at the Unitarian Church this Sunday at 11:00. It did not seem weird to me at the time, because he was always out of the house anyway. Plus all he used to when he was home was harangue me, so good."
"You lie."
"In fact, I remember thinking, it made sense that he would get something going on Sundays, because that was the only time he was ever even around anymore. Weekdays he was working, of course, and weeknights he was always at one of his many, many important community activities."
"You are delusional."
"Then, I found this article, and it all ...
"I have a thesis. My thesis is: In any woman's life, having children would have to be the most significant event. So, in my mother's story -- "
"Her family wasn't really any different from any of the other families."
"Yes."
"In what way?"
"She and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Both her children went to school."
"What else?"
"They were both boys?"
"Anything else?"
"No. That's it."
"So you said, that one way in which your mother's family wasn't really any different from any of the other families, was that she and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Can you tell me a little more about that?"
"Oh, sure. There was always something going on. Cub Scouts, she was like Den Mother of her older son's Cub Scout Pack. Pack 54. Plus the Comedy Club. Plus I'm pretty sure, she was involved in the kindergarten. She and her husband both. And politics. It was the Sixties."
"Just normal 60's Mom stuff."
"In any case, it's time to forget the past."

"My mother was not happy when family friends gave this to her husband as a birthday gift."
"In what way?"
"She walked out."
"Out of the party?"
"Yes."
"Where did she go?"
"She and her son walked down to the harbor to watch the fireworks. As they walked, her son said to her: I don't watch pornography. I don't even have a pornograph."
"Which . . . "
"Which is a totally normal thing to say."
"In a totally normal situation."
"Yes. She then said, Yes, that's old hat to you."
"Meaning . . . "
"Meaning nothing. It was just a random comment, that just happened to come up all by itself during the course of a totally normal conversation. For no reason. No reason at all."
"Good. Then what happened?"
"Nothing. Just normal stuff."
"So there were no consequences for anyone involved."
"Nobody was affected in any way. Ever."
"Well, It never happened. You're deluded. You lie."
"Yes. And in any case, it's time to forget the past and move on."
