Rick Pas

I really enjoy Rick Pas "Iris with the Bumble Bee",  acrylic on board. he is so talented.

Collage

What's exciting about collage?  Well collage is a wideopen art. I can use anything I want to, gluing bits and pieces of things, maybe metal, rusted things, paper sting, paints, just anything I want and I can put it anywhere I please.

The belly dancers and fishermen.

What an enjoyful afternoon, during the Rapids City Festival a troop of Belly dancers entertained the audience. Colorful gowns, scarves and barefoot as they danced. It's an art to do the dance, I tried it about 2 years ago, liked it, only thing was the MS acted up during the time I was in class so had to stop.

 Earlier in the day I had the opportunity to walk along the edge of theMississippi river and was able to get some great shots of young men fishing under the bridge of Hope, and their hopes of catching fish were granted, they caught 3 nice bass, I am so jealous I wasn't on the boat with them.

Art workshop and great lite outside this morning.

I attended a wonderful acrylic mediums workshop last nite, my mind is full of ideas, now to get the ideas down on  a surface.  I love the texture mediums, now I can build a painting........  The workshop was conducted by Bonnie Cutts an artist and works for Golden paints.

Took a walk this morning searching for pebbles and moss, building a terrarium from things in the woods, the lite after the rains makes such beautiful greens.

It would have been a pretty picture!!

Driving along Riverside Ave in a rainstorm and under the bridge noticed a wet and weary canoer, wearing a yellow rain coat, sitting next to her yellow canoe, waiting for the rain to stop. No camera of course, would have been a pretty picture.

Color

It was a great morning for a photo, after a rain the colors are so vibrant.

Where does it start?

Art is from the soul, doesn't matter what type of art, it all is comforting and necessary for the world.

Jackson Pollock

A saying from Jackson, "Every good painter paints what he is."   What do you think?

A walk with a camera and the dog

I got that leash and camera ready to go and get some inspiration, Stormy my Golden retriever was ready in a second.  Well, the eagles were soaring and the crows were on the chase, my camera and arms were on the slow, it all would have been a pretty picture.........  Tree tops were not in mind when I left the house, but why not try an eagle nest landscape...........
