Playing with Your Food – Take 8

animals mashup

People getting creative with food simply delights me. Many times I laugh out loud when I find things like this. I just don’t personally think like this, for some reason. I just fix food and eat it. But my spirits soar when I see the talent and creativity some people put into food presentation.

Incredible Quilts – Take 1

Patchwork & Quilting

 

My friend, Kay, is a master quilter. She usually has one she’s working on, or is planning. She’s very creative and a super-active lady, canning or gardening when not quilting. I’ve always admired people who quilt. Kay taught my friend, Linda, to quilt so that she could make heirlooms for her great grandbabies.  A good friend, Alice, machine quilts their creations. A very talented trio.

If You’re Gonna Get a Tattoo… Take 3

Elegant Animalistic Tattoos by Joanna Swirskaby

Christopher Jobson on July 14, 2017 – Colossal

 

“Wrocław-based tattoo artist Joanna Swirskaby inks carefully considered depictions of animals tinged with psychedelic splashes of color. Her most common subject is the humble feline which seems to make an appearance in nearly half of her works which run the gamut from graceful to fantastically absurd.

 

You can follow more of her recent work on Instagram.”

I want to reach out and stroke this child’s hair. Isn’t the light in this painting wonderful?

 

 

 

Selene Salvi

The girl is beautiful, and I love the pose. The texture of the clothes is amazing, too.

 

 

 

 

Donald O’Conner

I want to look for shells with this child. The dress is eye-popping and I love the texture of the sand. I can almost hear the water lapping.

Fun Art by Aravisdolmenna

Carol Auclair Daly sent me a message, pointing me to the website ArtPeople.net.  It’s a wonderful collection of all kinds of art by very talented and intriguing people. I wanted to share the work of Aravisdolmenna, who creates ‘Fun Art.’

I love the creativity, using every day things, but thinking way outside the box.

Assignment: Paint a Tree

It delights me that you can give a group of people the same assignment/request/directive/challenge and you’ll come up with a different idea from each of the people in the group. It doesn’t matter if you can paint or not – each of us sees and interprets ‘tree’ in a different way.

Here are some examples –
