Design - Robin

 I like bugs and flowers - can you tell? I did this with ink and watercolor pencils.

 

Just Playing~ Acrylic ~ Lori Singer

I'd love to turn you on - Amy

 

Photograph of my kitchen light switch.  The visual inspiration comes from my love of hardware stores and all things that can be found in such stores, especially the old mom and pop stores. I can spend hours just taking in all the pipes, screws, doorbell ringers and tools. 

The title comes from A Day in the Life - The Beatles. I love making very literal images out of kick-ass song lyrics. Who would not want someone to profess their desire to bring you desire?

Child's Play - Rachel

This certainly isn't sophisticated, and it's no great work of art, but I am determined to post something each day and today inspiration and luck both alluded me. After tinkering with the camera and a variety of props and subjects I decided it was time to get out the pastels and simply color.

Painted Deer - Robin

I am really struggling to finish my art project. I have 6 pieces to do and I haven't even finished one. Ugh.
Send the art fairies my way please!

Here is a pretty little deer that I hand colored in Photoshop. I wish he would come over and help me. ;-)

Doodler takes it to the canvas ~ Acrylic ~ Lori Singer

Doodler takes it to the canvas. I am a doodler and always have been. I used to spend ours doodling on the side of my school work as a child and believe it saved me in many ways. Maybe my next painting will be dedicated to the flower on the side of my school work that protected my spirit. One of my other loves and obsessions is about wild vibrant colors. I long for the day when I can fully master color and get it to work the way I see it in my head and the world. This canvas is a merging of two things I love and it's a piece of who I am and have always been. It's been fun to see the merging of line and color. When I finally manage to master color, I think this quote will have come true for me and I will finally feel like a painter. For now I fumble along trying to manage dirt and minerals.

"Color has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever... Color and I are one. I am a painter." Paul Klee
