500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #423 – Woman #3
Woman #3 Musings of the Artists Mind Similar to Woman #4 in the attraction to touch it, this one played a contrast in that the colour is both oddly attractive and unattractive. I find myself often looking at it as I cross my home gallery and have noticed a great many guests doing the same. … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #423 – Woman #3
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #422 – Woman #4
Woman #4 Musings of the Artists Mind So far, this is the best of my explorations into the female figure. The surface is perhaps way too interesting to touch and everyone who sees it, touches it. I created this glaze by mixing a pure pigment with a glossy clear glaze and the effect was a … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #422 – Woman #4
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #421 – Woman #5
Woman #5 Musings of the Artists Mind Deep into my explorations of these materials, I wanted to try and build a big piece out of Red Earthenware clay. I hadn’t played much with the medium and was more uncertain of how to finish it, than anything else. I dove into it, like I would with … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #421 – Woman #5
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #420 – Blue Man – I Give Up
Blue Man - I Give Up Musings of the Artists Mind This Blue Man must have been having a very bad day, at least musically. I hear no music in this one, as the expression is all of frustration. This form allowed me to experiment with the happenstance of gravity that occurs in the kiln … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #420 – Blue Man – I Give Up
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #419 – Blue Man Thinking
Blue Man Thinking Musings of the Artists Mind The Blue Man series was an extension of my Blues paintings, full of music, movement and joy. I believe this one is living in Scottsdale, AZ. The odd thing is that in my initial drawings, all the faces were small and round. When I started making the … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #419 – Blue Man Thinking
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #418 – Blue Man Group
Blue Man Group Musings of the Artists Mind My Blue Men keep on evolving, or so it was when I was making them. At the time I was working towards making an orchestra of heads on a single body. I got distracted and moved to other shapes. I'm not really sure where this one … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #418 – Blue Man Group
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity – Part 18 – Sculpture Gods & Goddesses
Part 18 - Sculpture Gods & Goddesses As a child, I watched my father spend hours meticulously carving into a long of clay. Carefully misting it with water and daily smoothing & re-smoothing cracks and faults he found in the nearly perfect surfaces, or so I saw them. I never wanted to put that much … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity – Part 18 – Sculpture Gods & Goddesses
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #417 – Day Moon Over Happiness
Day Moon Over Happiness Musings of the Artists Mind Ive been doing landscapes with muted colours, having fun with textures. My wife commented on how much fun it would be to see something with very bright colours. I went to my books and favourite sites for inspiration. I knew what she wanted to see, more … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #417 – Day Moon Over Happiness
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #416 – Landscape 14-006
Landscape 14-006 Musings of the Artists Mind I’ve written & re-written several descriptions of this one and somehow it all comes back to the feeling that these two trees are passing time by telling each other bad jokes. What do you see? Are We Having Fun, Yet? Say Yes, When you design your world with … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #416 – Landscape 14-006
