Art is in the eye of the beholder

 


Standing in the kitchen, drinking a glass of water, I glanced down at the air drying dish drainer and realized I love the reflections of the clean glass and pots.
Just Sayin, to me this is art.

Michelle and Dan


 My son Dan and his wife Michelle, are coming Sunday for a visit. It's rare even though we are only an hour drive away. The both work 6 days a week and have a house full of pets. I don't drive on interstates and my car is a 2007. 

I will not post on Sunday or read blogs and Monday I have 8 am appt to get results from last weeks test. I will post after the visit to the doctor.
I have been playing with brushes in Procreate, not really art, just playtime, but here are he few I did no delete.


Above is a brush of a tree, its like using a stamp on paper. I created the below, using this stamp, and a bird stamp, and painted the clouds and sky and snow.
the purpose was practice making a flat stamp, as above looked more like a tree. its really hard, but fun.


these are all practices. Digital art is a mix of all medias, as in below merge a photo and draw a heart.



Jackson Sandra Pollock-ish???
I love smearing paint with the brushes.


See you Monday sometime

  1. Favorites are you & the heart and the trees with birds. That one is so amazing I am going to print it and put it somewhere.

  2. My favorite is the black and white one, the second to the last. For some reason it resonates with me. ❤️

  7. It’s good to view the simple chores of life as art. I will be sure to glance at the dishes more closely from now on. Enjoy the visit with your son and his wife. Look forward to your return.

  8. I just scrolled back and looked at your pictures again, and just noticed that the one with the palm trees had you swinging on a swing! I did not notice that the first time I looked at it and only saw the trees and thought they looked like puzzle pieces, until I just now realized that was the swing picture! LOL. See? It pays to look at things from different perspectives and see the whole picture!!!

  22. I love how you make an ordinary picture into a work of art. l can see you had a great time doing these. Always enjoy them. We saw about a hundred crows landing on a store the other day. Your bird stamp picture reminded me of them. Have a great time with Dan and Michelle.

  25. Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Hurray for family visits! Having more people around is great! My person says creative time is very important. I get creative with peeing and shredding garbage that I find on Walks!
