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

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.

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

I like the depth and layering you achieved with the trees. Enjoy your weekend - Dan and Michelle look like a happy couple whatever the challenges they face.

Applying stamps in art is known as printmaking - and you did a great job! Enjoy the young ones and see you on the other side! YAM xx

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.

I LOVE the one with the pine trees and birds! That is beautiful! The others are great too, but that one is peaceful to look at! You know I'm a woodsy kind of girl! LOL. I am SO happy your son and DIL are coming to visit! I know you will cherish that time together. Yay! Maybe you can take some pictures??? And we will be praying for you on Monday, that the news will be good and that something reasonable can be done to help you with the issues you have been having. Meanwhile, enjoy your time with your family. Are they bringing food or are you cooking? Oh, and I love the picture of the dishes in the dish drainer! Yes, that is also "art". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think you are good at finding beauty in many things! That's a great gift to have! Take care and have a wonderful time tomorrow, and we will look forward to hearing from you later on Monday.

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!!!

That's a really nice picture of Dan and Michelle. Enjoy your visit with them.
I love all your art. I think the trees and the birds is my favorite but the other ones are awesome as well. You have a gallery full of masterpieces here.
