Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico

As I was getting a drawing lesson for my class this Friday, I came across this wonderful video on Youtube. I enjoyed so much hearing and seeing the artistic legend. I am not much of a desert lover but, in this video you can see why she loved it so much. Desert land, bones and flowers, her love was with the organic shape, designed solely by God. I love the idea of simplifying, loving the contour line. I try to pack so much information in each of my paintings for the most impact. It would be very meditative to incorporate this ease into my pieces this week.

I really enjoyed this piece from an artist from Topeka, Kansas. What I really like about it is the details that

she used. She creates a warm feeling of a leisurely morning spent pouring your heart out in your diary and

simmering them with some tea. The lines and patterns keep it visually more interesting. Another thing that I

enjoy is the back story. Shelly contends that the invention of blogs and the internet has diminished the proper

use of the written word. I have to agree. If I read one more Facebook post from one of my many nieces and

nephews with more misspelled words than correctly spelled words, I will scream!!! They say they don't care

because they were just in a hurry but, I am really beginning to wonder!

Thanks for the awesome painting, Shelly!

I have been a member of EBSQart for years now and I never really found a lot of use for it. I have recently checked it out and was happy with the amount of folk art that I found there. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of crap there too. It looks like someone has posted a lot of child's sketches. I guess there is nothing wrong with that but, it ticks me off.

However, I found this lovely artist from cancer survivor Cindy Bontempo of Wisconsin. She is a delight. I love the contrast of color and black in her work. It really jumps off the canvas. She also has a lot of variety in her work that is nice to see. I really love her florals. If your looking for something new to add to your folk art collection, spend some time in Cindy's gallery this week.
