A. Robert Malcom While this was done initially as a study of doing a straw broom, it quickly became, as so often it does to me, a themed work, this time being a gentle parody of William Harnett's famous paintings [he did two versions] "After the Hunt" and, since was doing a broom, decided to double play on the idea of witches - both the whisking and the post-Hallow...

Discuss this Artwork (17 messages) Newberry Any complex subject is visually chaotic; with incongruent shapes and millions of details. One of the fun and great challenges for an artist is to organize this visual information in a meaningful way; to compose it. I would like to discuss one element of composition: rhythm... ...

Discuss this Artwork (28 messages) UberKuh Around this time last year, I read Rand's The Romantic Manifesto. It sparked a weeklong series of over 20 sketches, most of which are portraits of people whose ideas, good or bad, have significantly influenced my thoughts. Rand's portrait was the first in this series. While I cannot say that I agree with all of her writing, I can say that, overall,... (See the whole comment)

Discuss this Artwork (24 messages) Vasily Polenov A few years ago, I got a small 9x12 replica of this iconic Russian landscape as a present from my mother-in-law, who specifically commissioned an art student in Moscow to have it done. To this day, this small and badly framed oil painting is the only real thing in my house. It actually looks stunningly good from just a bit of distance. The online r... (See the whole comment)
Discuss this Artwork (3 messages) Vassily Kandinsky This is one of my favorite Kandinsky pieces. I accidentally came across a large framed print of this piece over ten years ago and today it is still hanging in my house. This piece is not yet completely “abstracted” away and it is kind of fun to figure out what’s in there. Though for me, just those shapes, circles, lines, colors - and the combinatio...
