Etherial, sepia, deep yet bathed with light. I like Wyeth for his eye for the grey in a grey day that is so rarely captured by art yet is so often what the eye truly sees.

Frida Khalo - self portraits - she was an incredible artist and woman. Her colors and style gives me so much to think about and love.

Stunning! I've never seen that piece before...thank you for sharing!

I love this and have a print hanging in my apartment...Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 by Marcel Duchamp. It was not well received in 1913; most of the Cubists at the time rejected it and one critic said it resembled an explosion in a shingle factory.

When you look closely it resembles one of those motion photographs taken with strobe lights...

I love Frida Khalo's work...her ability to express her pain on canvas was amazing! You don't have to know much about her to understand what she was saying!

had the luxury of visiting her home and was incredably touched by her life.

A cachet of unusual art & photography

Steven LaRose was formerly my art teacher, but currently he teaches art privately in his studios in southern Oregon. LaRose's genre of art spans nudes, photography, oils, watercolours and other types of artistic interest.

Brazier and Brulat are relatively new to me - I found both artists while browsing gallery art via open-network resources.

I like all three artists - the visual cachet that each artists brings into their form of art.

a collage of postcards (art)
 
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ELNxmhKT3U...rd+Collage.jpg


Today, while wandering the internet in search of ideas for artistic ways of using postcards to form a work of art (a collage), I found the above hand-made postcard that was given to someone on their birthday. I love postcards and have quite a few that I have given to friends and family and have recieved numerous postcards, over time.

Once in a great while, I actually happen to come across exhibits of postcards as an art form: There's an interesting place to dine in the Hawthorne area (Nick's) and along the wall of the business, postcards to the business owner (over the years) appear alongside of other exhibits of art.

I think the thing I like about a collage of postcards is that each post card tells about a specific time someone took the time to express something particular (or even peculiar) between the sender and sendee. I have a friend who saved every single post card they got from someone they knew from years ago (I think they attended art school together, at one time) and I even have a friend who uses photographs, sent to them, as a means to create an exhibit of art - either at home or wherever their form of art is displayed (museums or galleries or places where art like this is found).

Given that I like postcards and have quite a few, I was thinking of making my own collage of postcard art.
