Her The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… She exudes beauty and femininity from the head down. All the curves are formed to touch and she holds her arms over them as if embarrassed by the effect she has on us. She is a beauty. I chose “Her” instead of "She" … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #264 – Her

Paloma Picasso The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… Although very much influenced by a multitude of Miro’s paintings, there’s something about this that reminds me of the strong pose of Paloma the fashion diva. There’s a flair in the pose that I think was less evident prior to firing, but … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #263 – Paloma Picasso

The Ascent The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… According to my sketch notes, this was meant to be a conclusion piece for a series. Showing the progress of the lone figure emerging from his stony prison. In the end, this piece stands by itself; complete and jubilant. A symbol of … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #262 – The Ascent

Emergence #1 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… Here he is, the first man to break free of his stony prison.

Perhaps, I see it more enjoyable to see a man born from solid stone, like his … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #261 – Emergence #1

Emergence #2 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… As I write this, I see him as a figure stuck in an iceberg, floating by, helpless and silent to our ears. We see him waving his arms, obviously stuck in his ice, but oddly peaceful. What is he trying to say … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #260 – Emergence #2

Emergence #4 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… This one is filled with surprise and fear for me. As if he is being pushed against his will to leave his cocoon. I can relate to this face, as it is how I’ve felt on many occasions when leaving my own … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #258 – Emergence #4

Emergence #5 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… There are so many sculptures and paintings of Tutsi Warriors. Always tall, with and without robes, always tall. Majestically reaching for the endless possibility. Proud, and courageous, filled with inner strength, and beautiful for it. Not emerging, but always growing. The Technique: … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #257 – Emergence #5

Emergence #6 The History & The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of… Another figure filled with the uncertainty of what’s about to happen next. Caught in mid-reach for the heavens. Perhaps about to pray for guidance, perhaps raising his arm in celebration of feeling born free from his stony base. What do you see? … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #256 – Emergence #6
