Urban Landscape
“Going Green”
8.5″ x 18″
This is a recent watercolor painting on paper. I find myself being drawn back to watercolor. Watercolor was my first love……and I am now revisiting that medium. There’s just something about laying wet liquid color on paper! Can’t really explain it!
$200.
I like experimenting with my art…whether its with the paint, paper, support, brushes, non brushes, removing layers, textures…..using the same materials in unconventional ways….I was reading someones blog the other day and he was referencing an author’s book about there being basically two types of artists: experimental and conventional.. I had not really thought about it before….but it does make a lot of sense. Perhaps that’s why I prefer the abstract genre…as I can create something new….I have no interest in replicating something that already exists. Mind you, I didn’t go into this consciously, just noticing what is. Please know that I can certainly appreciate the skill of artists that do replicate, even if it is their own interpretation…..this goes for musicians as well. I’m just exploring what drives us…Where does that propensity come from? It is making me think how this apply’s to many walks of life, not just conventional or experimental artists, but also in the broader scope of life! I think it is important for us to honor and acknowledge each others path whether or not we personaly understand it or not; or for that matter agree with it! Just makes you think; at least me1 Anyone want to comment and add to these thoughts are welcome. I hope I can find that blog again. I forgot to save it. Just remembering, in a former life I was involved with songwriting, and collaborated with some musicians with my lyrics….anyhow….I remeber being puzzled why a musician would just do covers and be satisfied with that??#@ Know I think I’m starting to get closer to the answer.
It was one of the zen moments, when youre “in the zone“….most artist and musicians
have experienced from time to time, that this painting came about.
The image evokes a steaming pot of aromatic exotic tea…..
that which could illicit a zenful moment.
I used some of the paint thick with out adding water to it
to give it a rich texture. I hope you enjoy viewing it.
This is a watercolor on paper measuring 15×20″ unframed $200.
24×48″ acrylic painting on canvas $2100.
This is the painting I tried to upload yesterday…
It has a sort of gentle, serene, and yes…tranquil feel to it! Sort of a Zen
simplicity with a hint of waterlily,
celadon colors with aqua, turquoise and amber
acrylic painting I thought I’d share today…leave comments oohps! my picture didn’t load? I think it went somewhere in cyber land, but, not here!! sorry, will try again.
Hello…whoa…this is a bit overwhelming…starting my first blog page/entry! Breath! OK I can do this. Lets see….maybe I should have watched a tutorial or something…..well thats never stopped me before….Consider this a start of a new blog….mainly about art, why we create, what we create, how art impacts us and others, about: life, love, healing, and how we can connect with the greater community through sharing our selves….Amazing tool/window to the world…the internet is fabulous! Don’t you think?
Helena Is anyone out there?
