I'm late blogging today.
I've been in the garden cutting down buddliea and clearing the dead wood from the borders and even with gloves on my hands are tingling with the stings of nettles
Polish Monika and her chatty daughter called past and I lifted up the little girl up so she could see the dogs over the kitchen wall
I've only just thought that I shouldn't have picked her up without permission .
Humm a debate for another time I guess
With the days drawing in and because there seems to be a sharpness in the air, I thought it nice to pose a hopefully stimulating and bright competition
To brighten the rapidly approaching Winter nights!
So,although it's a fickle subject and open to so many changes of mind, I thought I would pose this question
What is your favourite bit of art----today?
You can send me a photo of the art piece and perhaps a few words saying why you like it so much
Send to me at jgsheffield@hotmail.com
My favourite piece is a original print by Fiona Calver
" Sea Pinks in the Dunes "
I like it because it feels Gently Art Deco in design and colour
It really
pleases me
so what pleases you?

I will have to think about that but for now I'll just say I love that picture. It certainly pleases me. For some reason that pink against the blue is absolutely soothing and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteProbably the one I paint next!
ReplyDeleteI’ll have to send you my fav. It was actually a gift and I find it makes me stop and look at it every time my eyes find it.
ReplyDeleteI like that Fiona Calver. Love the colors.
XoXo
Already had a few very interesting paintings in
DeleteAlmost anything by Frida Kahlo, I like her art, plus anyone who had an affair with Lev Bronhstein, aka Trotsky, is a good one.
ReplyDeleteSend me a photo of your favourite mike
DeleteI read Mike's comment just after I came out of a Frieda Kahlo lecture this afternoon. Trotsky and his wife used to swap partners with Frieda and Diego.
DeleteFFS!

Delete6 entries already
I sent in my entry earlier but I also love this one of yours. I go for simplicity in art.
ReplyDeleteI love that too John-I have a photo of my lovely lily looking out to sea,similar setting but no sea pinks x
ReplyDeleteOh, I have 2 favourites neither of which I think I could get a photo of! The first is in my local art gallery and is rather unimaginatively entitled 'two oranges and a saucepan ' it's a still life study done in pointillist and is magnificent, I could look at it for hours. The second is by a local artist and I would give my eye teeth for it. It is for sale but priced at about a third of my annual income, so totally out of my reach. It's of two men fixing a motorbike in a back street, there's washing blowing on a line and you can almost feel the sunshine. It was displayed at the Royal Academy.
ReplyDeleteThe only rule is there must be a photo
DeleteLovely idea John x
ReplyDeleteHope my entry arrives by e mail John.
ReplyDeleteLike your picture.
