Only a few more days for Art at Work

I used to make these little fish pictures all the time and then I stopped for some reason.  Today for some other reason, I decided to try making them again.  The new Paint program has a lot better tools and so this one came out extra cute.  Not fine Art- just Fun Art.

Morning 06082014

This piece is acrylic on canvas, 16 X 20". 
 What a busy day I had yesterday, helping out at the Kiwanis Brat Fry, Art day with Kathy and then dinner (small plates) at the Twisted Willow Treehouse with Kathy and Karen.  

I was determined that this piece would be brighter and lighter.  Out with the dark and in with the light!  I worked on it yesterday for a couple of hours.  I was not satisfied.  I asked Kathy, "what do you see?"  She said "a lake and hills, a meadow".  Well that was not what I had tried to paint but since I wasn't happy with how it was turning out with my idea, I took Kathy's interpretation and ran with it.  Now we have a lake, trees and meadows-plus 2 horses and the sun rising out of the morning mist and clouds.   Oh, yeah the river was there all along.

After my visit to the MAM exhibit of Kandinsky's work, I was inspired to try imitate his works.  Someone at my house wants something like this on her wall.

Work Art 06/05/14


I went to the opening of the Kandinsky exhibit at MAM last night with 2 other people.  Each of us saw different things and interpreted the same painting in different ways.  Here is another piece of Work Art, done using the Paint program.  When I look at this, I feel like Summer.

More Artwork from Work!

I started this piece on 5/27/14.  Everyday I worked I spent some time on it.  I used different brushes, pencils and techniques, just trying out to see what effects I could get.  Today, I am done.  Time to move on to something new.
