I am speechless!
When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori’s pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.

Artist Bruce White takes velvet painting to a whole new level of awesome!
… And what a week it has been! We’ve been helping Jack’s mom move out of her storage unit. And the past two days we’ve had internet issues, thus the slow post week.
On top of that, as previously mentioned, we are working our butts off for The Art & Wine Festival! I couldn’t be more excited! We have so much newness to show! We will be in the same spot as last weekend; along the river path, 4 yards down (map below for clarification). So, come take a walk along the river and stop by! Hope to see you there!
Combining the traditional with modern pop culture, Hillary White has created some interesting and surreal paintings.
The question seems simple enough, “what is the color of this girl’s sash?” It’s surprising to find out that the answer given now would differ wildly from the one given when it was originally painted. Now: pink. Then: yellow! And it seems that our definition of certain colors have changed through history.
Many ancient cultures didn’t have a working vocabulary for the color blue. Names for the colors, as we know them today, rolled out slowly. Black and white came first, and then red, yellow, and green. Blue was often used as a subset of green, instead of a different color altogether. While the sky, to ancient Greek eyes, might be lit up by the sun and turned to a golden bronze color, it would not be considered ‘green’. And a darkened sea might look closer to wine than to a color associated with grass.

I caught this great segment of PBS’s Art21 series: Humor. The last artist they focused on was Walton Ford and I was really taken by his masterful watercolor and prints!
Blending depictions of natural history with political commentary, Ford’s meticulous paintings satirize the history of colonialism and the continuing impact of slavery and other forms of political oppression on today’s social and environmental landscape. Each painting is as much a tutorial in flora and fauna as it is as a scathing indictment of the wrongs committed by nineteenth-century industrialists or, locating the work in the present, contemporary American consumer society.

Having a frustrating day… this made me smile.

These paintings, by Clare Caulfield, are so eye-catching and full of life!
She is fascinated by architecture be it the Midtown skyscrapers of Manhattan, The Grand Canal Venice or simply capturing Parisian life outside a brightly canopied pavement café, from which she strives to create spontaneous lively linework.
