DAY 11 Links

Links
Today's abstract reminds me of Links and connections that we all have in our lives.  Lots of circles (for me until I get it right) and lines crossing with the highs and lows that keep life interesting.  Just played with a lot of textures in this piece experimenting to see what results there might be.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Great piece... my eye keeps traveling in and out and in between! One thing I learned in one of my courses is playing with the line. Just let it travel where it wants to go. Vary your mediums. pencil, marker etc each has its own distinction. It's wonderful play!

Carol, I so appreciate your comments as it really helps me begin to understand what it is about abstract that draws people. I feel like I am floating out here and don't have a clue what I am doing, right, wrong or indifferent. I also don't want everything to start to look the same either. So, what you are sharing with me is very valuable and much appreciated. And play, it definitely is and so much fun and freeing at the same time.

Another winner Nelvia although I am not sure about the yellow but that is just personal - lol. I like the texture look of this and bet it is super in person.

This is wonderful in how it keeps your eyes active and taking trips around the canvas and back again. I love the melting sunlight with drops of bright blue rain. One interpretation that came to mind. we have had strange days, bright sunlight and rain falling. Interesting colors that happen. Awesome abstract Nelvia!

Magnolia Blossoms Acrylic 11"x14" “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”   - Bob Ross I thought this was a wonderful quote.  I don't know if it has happened to you, but people say, oh you are so talented.  Not true, couldn't be farther from the truth, although I am sure there are many artists who do possess that something extra, something special.  But for the most part for the rest of us, it is just a matter of studying,  learning your  tools and materials, practicing, and then start to trust your inner self.  I am on a journey to try to find my voice.  Not that I am a late bloomer, but I should have already found it, yes?  I guess what I am really looking for is the way I wish and want to paint.   Not necessarily how I have been doing it. I am pleased with this piece.  Many thanks to Sanne who put this wonderful reference piece up at PMP.  Personally I think Magno...

DAY 19 Noise

Image
Noise I have noticed, now that we live out of the hard core suburbia, how much we get quiet.  I mean actual quiet, no kids, no dogs, not cars, not motorcycles, no sirens, etc. etc.  How many waves, noise carrying waves, go through our bodies every day.   Phone, radio, tv, fiber optics, microwave, etc. etc.   Can that really be good for us? Anyway, I never know what I am going to get and this was a pretty quick one since I had a big time work day, for me.   But I got some really clean windows - am really ready for Fall, wish the temperature could understand how ready I really am for Fall!!. Thanks much for stopping by.

Nicolae's GF Laughing Giraffe mixed media portrait

Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal? I always wish I would keep my mouth shut, because it does worry me when I say I will paint something - it ...
