Impressionistic seascape in soothing, cheerful colors. Squint a bit and see if you can imagine the ocean on a warm day. Waves are rolling in, mountains anchor the horizon line, and a small island anchors the right side.
Getting back to nature, there are two autumn trees, a welcoming campfire that not only offers a seat by the fire but it invites you to follow the light that leads to the sun setting over the cityscape far off in the distance.
First place in Best Alcohol Ink Painting contest! Blown yellow flowers on black. Yellow represents warmth, cheerfulness & increased mental activity. Orange represents happiness, creativity & success. A winning combination.
New art thread for 2024 starts here! This is a mostly daily thread with a different artist featured in each post, primarily modern and contemporary stuff since that's my thing.
My first ever painting on a canvas with pencil thin coloring pens. Very relaxing to focus on not going outside the lines. 😊 the colors have slightly faded out since 2018 but that gave the whole painting a new dimension. 😊 #art#relaxing#painting
Anna Alma-Tadema, teenaged daughter of the more famous Lawrence, shows her prodigious talent in these paintings of the Drawing Room at 1A Holland Park and her father’s library at Townsend House (1880s),
I've been working on this a bit today. I'm going to add lots of colorful smoke and bubbles coming out of the cauldron. I'm a slow painter, but I'm sure I'll finish before witch season 😉
I hope you're all having a lovely day ✌️

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Nude in Orange and Yellow, 1929.
See alt-text. In these waning days of our own freedoms and late Empire, I'm thinking often of people like Kirchner, whose sensibilities were so like ours now, and then they were suddenly swept away.
A 2008 piece depicting Corosaurus. The only purpose for this was playing around in Photoshop and learning how to create painting and photo composite art.
Carl Joseph Begas. Portrait of the Chamber Singer Karoline Seidler-Wranitzky, 1825.
As you saw in the Joan Mitchell post earlier, these are my colors this spring. I'm obsessed. I have an embarrassingly large file of otherwise unrelated and unlikely images, collected only for the colors. Go Karoline!
i waited for over 12 years for artist Lyndal Osborne’s handcrafted imaginary bio organisms to come back to the Alberta Gallery of Art, and they finally did. she taught at UofA, and her works always give expression to the oceanic palette of her childhood home in NSW, Aus.
this exhibit is composed of handmade seeds, blown up 10000x their size, as if through a microscope
if you happen to be in edmonton, drop by the AGA to see this piece - it is up on the third floor.
