The wind was gentle and moved these tiny flowers softly into the frame of my shot; making it look like the flowers were photobombing the shot. I can almost hear them giggling at their successful prank. Prints & more available at Arts MPerron @ https://1-mario-perron.pixels.comPhotobomb
The Flemish Servant Girl
I am uncertain where I found the original photo for this portrait, but I’m sure the original photo didn’t look like a close-up of the Dutch or flemish school painting. Perhaps the style or brushstroke indicative of these schools is all over the fingerprints of the Expressionist style I love so much. What ism orThe … Continue reading The Flemish Servant Girl

Spontaneous 07-023: The History: Share what you see and continue the story. One of the keys to creativity is to use all the materials possible. My friend was the lab tech this summer and made a strange glossy white glaze. I decided to play with it. I love the outcome. These somewhat abstract forms are … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #166 – Spontaneous 07-023
Peek-a-boo
What’s hiding in the shadowy hole of this dead tree? Could it be the woodpecker that bored the holes we see all over its body? Maybe. I only glimpsed the movement of the shadow out of the corner of my eye. It remained still while I looked straight at it. Prints & more available atPeek-a-boo
The Elder, Albert; Without A Pipe
First, do you also feel that this gentleman is missing his pipe? I get the feeling his hands might be fidgeting without it. Perhaps it’s the feeling that he isn’t sitting still, or that his eyes are imploring me to hurry up and finish the drawing, so he can get on with his business. IThe … Continue reading The Elder, Albert; Without A Pipe

Spontaneous 07-020 &021: The History: Share what you see and continue the story. The spirit of experimentation is a fickle spirit. I was still at a school while doing these and the firing process was way too slow to accommodate my production. I hurried in boredom and made two almost identical pots. They were supposed500 … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #165 – Spontaneous 07-020 and 021
New Arrival to Death
Take a moment and observe all the colours and textures of this composition. Mother Nature painted this. She filed it with reminders of the wonderful life all around us. She reminds us to stop and take a moment. This leaf with it’s mottled green and yellow surface drew me in and I’m so glad itNew … Continue reading New Arrival to Death
The Early Industrialist
I’m pretty sure this was an early exploration into my artist portraits series. I had decided to capture random faces from old pictures on Google images. I have no clue who this person was, but he reminds me of a face from a 19th century portrait. This might have been before photography was readily available.The … Continue reading The Early Industrialist

Spontaneous 07-019: The History: Share what you see and continue the story. These somewhat abstract forms are inspired by a love of Raku fired ceramics… I was challenged when a teacher told me it would be nearly impossible to achieve a Raku finish using an electric kiln… so I read a lot on the subject … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #164 – Spontaneous 07-019
T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – The Discovery of My Reflection
This work presents a roughly delimited, frontal portrait emerging from a field of scraped, mottled substrate—its battered edges and visible abrasions doing as much compositional work as the painted figure itself. The face is modeled with compressed planes rather than blended anatomy: dark contours define the brow, nose, and mouth, while the skin reads through … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – The Discovery of My Reflection
