I am such a digital pack-rat!
Being of the more visual sort, I get a real kick out of seeing art in it’s “Work-In-Progress” mode.
Possibly because it hasn’t defined itself totally yet. The piece can be taken in so many directions.
I especially love it when a drawing surprises me!
What is there not to like about the colors in the pics here? Anytime I get to use the whole color spectrum, I’m happy!
Graphite pencils….Ya gotta start somewhere! I must admit, I miss the erasability of graphite.
Desktops! I’m not the neatest person, that’s for sure. I also tend to spread out! If I don’t see it, I forget I have it! Haha
Art journaling in a whimsical way.
Photo-realism…my latest passion!
More graphite work.
More messy desktops.
So, now you can see what I see as I try to bring something into creation. I love it when I have lots of ideas….all lined up in a row…in my head. But that’s not always the case. Art evolves with the person. Something I may have wanted to do one day doesn’t always carry the same weight the next day. What I find important is the doing! The trying to learn new things, to challenge myself with a new picture or new technique. For instance today…I have no interest in painting. But that may change.
I think it’s best to not force yourself to like something you don’t. This is also the beauty of not being in a super-structured environment. I have the freedom to choose what to spend my time learning. With that being said….I can see the flip side of that super-structured environment too! We can gather information/inspiration from other sources in unexpected ways. So really either way…it’s a win-win, if I keep the right attitude.
A penny for your thoughts too! I’d love to hear your take.
These photos are fantastic. The color and how you use it knocked my socks off! Thanks for a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent post! Your art always makes me feel like I ran through a ray of happiness!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see all your art in one place! I like to see WIP's too. I like to read what the person was thinking at the time too, what their decision making process was like.....Your bright colors have always pulled me in. While i admire your ability to sketch people (just amazing!), something i cannot do. I find i enjoy your doodling the most. Its amazing how something so simple can become so intricate.
ReplyDeleteI've often thought i might enjoy an art class of some sort or even a college art degree but then i always balk at the structured enviroment...i think it would take away my joy. i don't think i could draw on command.....lol....You are such an inspiration Woman! Thank you so much! Hugs! deb
I love this post and being able to see your work in progress. I take a lot of photos too while I work. For some reason it helps me see what areas need work better through the camera lens than my own eyes with it in front of me. I take them with my phone but it's good enough for me to see where I need to add more depth, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Susan, Emma, Deb and Stephanie!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to hear how everyone else approaches their art!!
