Art in the process...

This the start of my latest art project. I suppose Ellise, Chel and I are going with a warm colour theme as to try and make an attempt at tying our canvases together. I used a few random things I found around the house to give it some texture....yes this is where it's at right now.

A few of my pieces...


This is Van Gogh's Starry Night that I tried to copy. On mine the colours are brighter I would say so I didn't get it perfect and I believe the town looks closer up. I had it framed in black and gold at michaels...along with the others below.
I did this during the summer. I copied a picture that I really liked from a post card we had from Bologna, Italy when we went there on holiday. I used newspaper behind it to give it an older style feel and had it framed in an antique looking frame.





Inspiration!


I love Sabrina Ward Harrison's artwork! I get a lot of ideas from her crazy and extremely creative masterpeices. I like that she pushes the limits on her art and isn't afraid to go above and beyond the normal. I have used these style of faces in my art a few times now and I just can't get enough of them. I think they are the coolest things out there. They add a creative element to a piece and really gives it personality. I am a huge fan of mixed media and have really gotten into it more in the last while. I think that mixed media just holds this mystery about it and really makes you take that extra second to look and see the hidden treasure.
