Quote of the Week

"I never wanted color to be color. I never wanted texture to be texture, or images to be shapes. I wanted them all to fuse together into a living spirit.

I have just completed a four week class with Sandra working with this versatile medium. You can get some amazing affects.

Art at Price Tower

The annual BART Spring Show is on display at the Price Tower.

The posted pics are not necessarily entries that were prize winners, but rather work that I thought would photograph well.

Color of the Week

Lavender Ice

How to name a color? The paint companies & the lipstick & nail polish companies come up with some imaginative names. 

I decided to call the color of these flowers Lavender Ice, because they remind me of Lavender & they had snow on them just a few days ago.

Alcohol Ink

I have a whole drawer full of inks that I use in mixed media, but I had never tried alcohol inks.
They are a whole new thing. Alcohol is what makes these different. Because it evaporates so quickly the colors run & mix & then start again with the addition of more alcohol.
I'm just starting to experiment. 
What will I come up with?

Carolyn Monk

Carolyn Monk

Local celebrity artist, Carolyn Monk, prodvided a program for the BART group March meeting. 
She shared a little about her career, and had a planned demo on painting fur. Her "trick": skill (comes with practice), the right brush, and plenty of time. 
Her wildlife paintings are shown in galleries all over the state. It's an honor to see her exquisite work, and a great honor to own one.

To inquire on purchasing one of her fine pieces her web site is, www.carolynmonkart.com

Yellow

Here it is, a prepared canvas. Ready for whichever idea finds it way to the canvas first.

Yellow opens the door for the flood of the rainbow to come in. The plan is for many blues & greens.


"As yellow is always accompanied with light, so it may be said that blue still brings a principle of darkness with it. This colour has a peculiar and almost indescribable effect on the eye. As a hue it is powerful, but it is on the negative side, and in its highest purity is, as it were, a stimulating negation. Its appearance, then, is a kind of contradiction between excitement and repose."
