Magnolia Blossom, 1925, by Imogen Cunningham.

This image shows:
An intimate, almost abstract view of the magnolia flower
Meticulous detail of the flower's reproductive parts (stamens and pistil) at the center
The petals are rendered as luminous, curved forms with subtle gradations of tone
The organic shapes and soft lighting create an almost sensual quality
Exquisite tonal range from pure white to deep shadows

A fortified castle tower—really just a stone cylinder—stands at the top of a very craggy, very sharp hill overlooking the ocean. The sky is a pale greenish color. The tower has two slitlike windows and an open, arched door, and is crumbling at the top. The only signs of life are the two birds flying about the top of it, and the UFO hovering in the sky to its right, glinting in the sun. On the underside of the UFO is a circular opening that is glowing white. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the small bird are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.
Sparrow meeting part one is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

Quick sketch.

#sketch #artwork #art #drawing

A stylized digital drawing of a white woman with long light brown hair, wearing a white shirt, looking to the side, eyebrows slightly raised, but overall neutral facial expression.

The drawing has sketchy qualities while it attempts to portray skin tones somewhat realistically, with a light-blue color peeking through a top layer of yellowish skin, with some redness in the ears and cheeks.

A person in a dull blue space. Something not so good is on their minds; a large, ominous thought balloon, like that out of a comic strip, hovers above them. The balloon is various shades of purple, yellow, and green, and is so heavy that it's dripping, pooling like paint on the ground. The person is standing in a puddle of thought-balloon liquid, lifting their leg in horror as viscous purple strings of whatever this is extend from their shoe to the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

John Bauer: The Swedish Master of Fairy Tale Art (Bio, Art & Facts)

John Bauer’s illustrations are a breathtaking example of Swedish folklore art of the early 20th century. They are whimsically beautiful and marked by tragedy.

By Kerigan Pickett

https://www.thecollector.com/john-bauer-swedish-master-fairy-tale-art/

#art #bookillustration

Self-portrait, 1908, oil on canvas.

The painting portrays a man with a contemplative and intense gaze, wearing a light-colored hat with a dark band. His face is detailed, with a well-defined beard and mustache, and he holds a pipe in his mouth.

The inscription "VOLTERRA AUG 1908" in red suggests the painting was created in Volterra, Italy, in August 1908.

My adult daughter is a mad crafter; she paints, sews, crochets, and does needlepoint. Here’s a ‘mandala’ throw she crocheted for me some time ago. Seven different stitches I’m told. #Crochet #crafts #art #TextileArt

A vibrant, round crocheted blanket or rug with a mandala design featuring concentric circles in various colors including teal, orange, yellow, and brown. The edges are scalloped and the piece is placed on a red patterned surface.

On the catwalk is a hand-painted acrylic painting in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
A black cat balances on the thin bar of a wooden fence. The elegant pose with its paws placed in front of each other and its tail curved upwards gives the impression that the beautiful animal with its shiny black fur is walking on a catwalk like a model. The cat's yellow-green eyes are directed attentively to the left, conveying a sense of curiosity or concentration.
The background is abstracted in bright lime green and light green shades, suggesting a natural environment such as the foliage of bushes or trees.
The picture is painted with loose and expressive brushstrokes.

My model was originally a female sparrow, but I felt like using some pastel candy colors...
Enjoy!

Sweet bird:

Sweet bird is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute little bird is sitting on a branch and is looking to the right side. The bird seems to be smiling.
The inspiration for this bird portrait was a female house sparrow sitting in a bush in our garden. But I was in the mood for some soft candy pastel colors. So it became a fantasy bird in colorful shades of teal, yellow and pink. The abstract background echoes these colors.

A person standing on the edge of a rocky point, staring off into the void. They are facing left. Above them is a light purple sky covered with stripes of fluorescent green clouds. Despite the relatively light color scheme, the scene is at night. Greenish fog hangs around the ground. A hazy half-moon sits in the top right. A scattering of stars is visible. Streaming from the person's face is a beam of blazing white light, like that from a lighthouse. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#art #history:
question: what's better than juliette greco?
answer: three juliette grecos.
the smoky-toned chanteuse & actor (interpreter of jacques brel & prevert, boris vian, charles aznavour...) was born #otd in 1927.
the OG boho certainly made a mark with her life. how could she not? jean-paul sartre declared her to have 'a million poems in her voice'.
#illustration #julietteGreco #music #cinema #france

digital pencil, pastel & ink drawing of legendary french bohemian, juliette greco.
here, her perfectly lined eyes look off-camera to her left & her hands are folded in front of her, eclipsing the right side of her chin.
apart from her red lips & red pastel background, she's in black & white.

I adore this painting, "No Thoughts," as it perfectly captures the fact that all orange cats share one one braincell! It's number 17 in the Close Encounters Collection!
