“The Gift of the Magi” by O.Henry was a lesson in gifting. The writer’s intention may have been completely different. It is difficult for a girl to give up her crowning glory to buy a gift, more so than it is for a man to give up his inheritance. I think about the story more … Continue reading Gifts
Enjoy the vision, then read about the techniques.
I greatly enjoyed creating my last collage “To the Sea”. I decided to further explore the use of a limited color palette.This piece is a companion piece to my last one in wanting to go by the same “rules”. (limited color palette, utilizing my two main techniques within one piece to equal degrees, smaller sized paper)
As usual I only used photos which I took, my trusty scissors and adhesive applied with a brush. The sort of Maxfield Parish coloring comes from the times of day that I took the photos, all Pre-Raphaelite luminescence playing upon the neighborhood but for a few minutes at a time.
For all my work regardless of medium I prefer a certain amount of density. Especially with my collages, I like the effect of the viewer being able to find new little things with each viewing. An open ended narrative which leads to one’s own…

A new way of seeing ….. by Eugenia
an era of modernity
new age ideas spark
an artists passion
to reach beyond and
create illusion of depth
viewpoints not fixed
in the real world nor
should they be in art
paintings made lively

Cubism …. by Susi Bocks
behold the artist’s fractured vision
a technique wholly proclaiming
a distorted perception
this gifted flair of expression
shows us their talent
and gives us a unique art form
we revel in being offered
this layered complexity in simple shapes
asserting visual depth and familiarity
mysteriously and abstractedly
leaving us to be intensely inspired
and exquisitely drawn in
Sadje’s take on Cubism….

Let the word, pictures, symbolism, intricacies and the artist’s struggle inspire you to write something.

Delve within to create without.
Happy writing!

Putting brush strokes on canvas isn’t just enough anymore
What an artist creates painstakingly can be
Captured with the camera in the blink of an eye
Creating the feel and evoking the emotions behind a scene
That can only be done by breaking it apart in fragments
And then putting it together to express what lies deep
Tiny pieces of art, joined again to present…

“Showers have a way of inspiring creativity. It starts from the washroom, and moves on to downpour from the skies.” He stopped writing, as the door opened with a bang. Who could just barge in, in a lockdown? The sight of the visitor made him stop in his tracks. Opportunity had knocked, and a fresh … Continue reading Showers Galore
