I want to talk about other artists ... sharing the images that have caught my eye on Etsy and connect with others.
This week I will link to several artists who's work I admire and talk about why I like the pieces I post here. I also hope that the artist replies and adds insight. I may be way off in my comments ... it will be interesting conversation ... please join in..
This acrylic painting found on a front page treasury by Shelby Healey is very fresh and painterly. It looks spontaneous and intuitive, not over worked. When approaching a subject like architecture I tend to get rigid and reach for a ruler. This piece communicates the feeling of the rows of buildings or houses without getting tight.
I think looking at art, all kinds of art is educational ... especially when we talk about the art and the techniques being used by the artist.

Thanks for your comments Teri. Yes I do try to paint intuitively. I studied art and textiles so for me colour and pattern are very important. This painting was inspired by houses balanced on the hills where I live. I'll be back to read more of your insights! Shelby
