One of a series of some larger format paintings (this one is 4 feet x 4 feet), with aluminum paint base, I did back in 2006. I was experimenting with materials and composition. The alternative material, aluminum paint typically used for radiators, and de-centering identifying information, the perception of iconography in composition. Specifically, on how much/little of a classic logo needed to be depicted to be recognizable. (Kind of like in music identification, name that tune, finding the iconic ones where I can name that tune in one note. Example the first tone of MJ’s “Beat It,” from the Thriller lp.)

What can Rush Cole be thinking??? Is she crazy for giving art lovers the chance to own this fabulous little painting for only a ten spot? I won't lie to you, making a decent living as a fine artist has been tougher than usual during the past few years. As time went on, I kept hoping that everything would start to smooth out for all of us financially. Depending on the outer world to no avail, still, I always remind myself that the quality of my life depends first of all on my attitude in general, and secondly, on what actions I choose. And no matter what, I keep making art because I can no more imagine not creating new works than I can imagine willingly stopping breathing. For me, life is all about using every speck of my consciousness to bring something new into form. Someone once pronounced me a "creative archetype" and I've come to believe they're correct. As for this colorful oil painting that I'm now offering as the prize in a raffle with tickets only $10 each, (Winner pays shipping, of course.) I've also learned that my own worries about whether I'll be able to pay the bills seem to lessen when I set out to make my art more easily available to those who love it. Although there will be only one lucky new owner of these vibrant sunflowers; yet, there's something deliberately hopeful about inviting people to take a chance to score an unexpectedly powerful little treasure. I'm in. I can't be any other way. Maybe you'll join me and take a chance, too. More details at this link: https://lnkd.in/b-KSwJZ

Unlock the Mystery: A Step-by-Step Guide to Identifying Unknown Artists and?Paintings

My posting of the portrait of singer Sinead O’Conner by Dublin-based artist Zanya Dahl attracted ‘plenty of love’ and admiration from around the world which I felt sure that it would so here is another one called:?? 'Sinead – Double Down' It is a cryptic image conveying an intense charisma, deep introspection and a certain intangible mysticism. I am sure if a viewer has never heard of Sinead, they would look at this and think that she was an artist of some kind. I love it! Zanya writes:?"My process typically begins with photos I have taken or sourced online. I use Photoshop to merge elements from different images, creating a composition that conveys the vision or message I want to express. My digital expertise allows me to create multiple versions of an idea quickly, but I rely on my gut feeling or an emotional jolt to guide my choice of the final composition. This image then becomes my reference when painting. When it comes to painting, I let my choice of paints, brushes, and marks emerge organically during the process. My instincts and the sentiment I wish to convey guide my choices. I believe that this approach allows me to create work that feels authentic and emotive”. Zanya Portfolio:?https://lnkd.in/eRVvMjbV ?

This is a study project. I try to understand color better and copy movie frames and news images. I do not use the color picker, but rather guess and estimate the colors.?What is the value structure of an image? How saturated are elements? I am interested in how colors relate to the overall geometrical composition and the fact that color and geometry are closely interacting. How to translate experienced reality, but also the artifice of lighting and photography into the humble color picker of the painting software.

Art isn't something we learn; it's something we are born with. Creativity flows from within, shaping our world and expressing what words can't capture. Whether through design, painting, music, or any other form, art lives in all of us. It's a gift we carry from birth, and it’s up to us to nurture and unleash it.

Healing my Inner Artist?? As creatives working in the corporate industry, we often feel disconnected from our artist soul. I mean, yes, our job is based on our creativity and we are constantly using that resource to fulfill our professional goals. So how's that even possible that we feel disconnected from something we're using daily? I really think to keep our creativity flowing most healthily, we need to find these spaces where we create just for the act of creating itself. No for a project, no for a deadline, no for a commission. Just focus on enjoying the process as much as possible. Here is a painting I made just for the joy of it. What do you do to feed your inner artist? How often do you take these spaces?

Introducing Love Me Bad, an abstract piece inspired by the intense highs and lows of love, fueled by Sinead Harnett's song "The Most." This painting explores the raw, messy beauty of complex relationships—the kind that make you question, hold on, and ultimately choose yourself. Take a closer look and feel the energy, the chaos, and the resilience it represents. Head over to my Substack to view Love Me Bad and dive into the story behind the art https://lnkd.in/gYjqkCF9

Mood and world building ???? 1. One of the most important things I ever learned about communicating ideas is this: never assume that another person can visualise what you paint with words, no matter how well you write. Because there is a huge inherent differential between one imagination and another. Hence why visual arts can be soooo powerful in relating *feeling*. And atmosphere. 2. A strong sense of place and wonder matter more than accuracy when it comes to conveying initial pre-vis concepts! Design details (also essential!) can be built into projects later, but for conveying initial *vibes* it’s important to paint an imaginary place in a way that lets others meet you there immediately. This is why effects & music can augment concept paintings so beautifully! #art #design #artist #illustration

Art is a language without words; colours are its most eloquent speakers. As silent narrators, they tell tales of joy, sorrow, passion, and tranquillity. They speak in whispers and shouts, guiding our emotions through the visual landscapes’ artists create. So, when you next stand before a painting, let the colours guide your emotional journey, and listen to the stories they strive to tell. In this realm, you’ll find that art communicates not just through its form, but through the very soul of colours themselves.
