🌷Artist: #LandOfJulia / #JúliaMotaAlbuquerque in City: #Duesseldorf /Heinrichstraße 83-85 / Germany 🇩🇪 08/2023 - Title: untitled - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #Flowers #Painting - Website: https://landofjulia.com/

Streetartwall. A cheerful, colorful mural in a modern, naive painting style was sprayed/painted on a narrow dividing wall of a four-story modern apartment building. The painting shows four young people in abricot and purple clothing climbing a tree and helping each other. All four are holding their arms above their heads and supporting each other among leaves and colorful flowers in a meadow in the background. The colors of the flowers and the meadow are bright and vibrant, the whole mural has a cheerful and positive vibe and transforms the otherwise boring, conformist house fronts into something very beautiful.

"That Old Tree On The Hill" ...

At my website: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/that-old-tree-on-the-hill-lois-bryan.html

There are so many images and memories in my head that I'd love to paint up and bring back to life. Well, you know, bring back in a way. I keep telling myself, just go for it. I even made a list of the scenes I'd love to revisit, even if only imperfectly, using the amazing tools of digital hand-painting from #CorelPainter or #Rebelle. This one ... well ... it's not one of the ones on the list ... but it is basically a scene I've seen a million times as I've driven down country roads here in the #MidAtlantic area. Those brief moments of magic where the sky and the sunlight and the compositions are breathtaking, but your car is traveling at 50-60 mph and the guy behind you is too close and there's no way you can pull over, hop out of the car and get the shot. Besides ... you left the camera at home again. So this one might be from my imagination but it's also representative of all those pretty trees up on those pretty hillsides, against those fabulous skyscapes. An homage to the ordinary.

I hand-painted this one from my #imagination / #memory ... (imaginary memory?) ... in Rebelle using their fabulous #watercolor technology and brushes, an ancient #Wacom tablet and my prize possession, the Wacom art pen. Not created using any artificial (Ai) programs.

"Summer Cornfield" ...

We've had good rain this spring and now into summer, so the cornfields are looking good.

"#Summer #Cornfield" was digitally hand painted in #CorelPainter from one of my own photos of a lovely #farm that I always enjoy seeing on my way up to the cabin in Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, in #Claysburg, #PA.

"Summer Cornfield" ...

A brilliant green cornfield, the stalks already beginning to tassel at the ends, waves lazily under the summer sunshine. A drive through the heart of the Laurel Highlands in Central PA , USA, brings visual gem after visual gem. The sapphire blues of the skies, the ruby reds of the barns, the golden fields and the emerald hills and crops … all are a delight and the picture perfect examples of a summer's day in the country.

Streetartwall. An original mural with a very musical comic-style figure has been sprayed/painted on a white house wall. The figure is an old Walkman, dressed in an olive-colored jacket and with metal hands. He has green headphones on and is holding an old music cassette in his hands. On the cassette is written X18 Amora (a HipHop/Rap Music Producer). There is already a cassette in the cassette compartment with round holes that look like his eyes. This cute cassette man makes you want to press play immediately.

🩶 Artist: #HEBSARTE in City: #Medellín El Bronx Creative District, Colombia 🇨🇴 01/2025 - Title: "Soledad Oscura" ("Dark solitude") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Dark #SprayArt

Streetartwall. An impressive portrait was sprayed/painted in black and white on a street wall. The very high-contrast and rather dark mural shows only the face of an elderly woman with a desperate expression. She has almost closed her eyes and is covering one eye with her wrinkled hand as if to hide her weeping and despair. An impressive portrait mural.

'Something stirring beneath the surface': What eight ghostly portraits found hidden inside masterpieces reveal

In the past month alone, shadowy portraits have been found hidden in longstanding masterpieces by Titian and Picasso. What can they and other such discoveries tell us?

By Kelly Grovier

https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250221-eight-portraits-found-hidden-inside-masterpieces

#art #painting #culture

Pablo Picasso, 1901, Portrait de Mateu Fernández de Soto, oil on canvas, 61.3 x 46.5 cm, Bundesmuseen, Vienna

It depicts a man, presumably Mateu Fernández de Soto, deeply engaged in an activity—possibly rolling a cigarette or handling a small object—while sitting at a table.

The dominant use of blue tones gives the artwork a melancholic, introspective atmosphere, which is characteristic of Picasso’s Blue Period (1901–1904).

The loose, expressive brushwork and the somber mood reflect themes of isolation and contemplation.

A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat. The cat's tail is raised in a curved shape.
Happy Tuxedo Cat is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

Was the tree lonely, standing all by itself on the hillside, with nary a tree friend beside it?

I don't think so. There was the grass, bushes growing amongst it, the distant forest, the surrounding hills, and all the small animals that stopped to take rest in the tree's shade.

There was always someone to talk to. And then there was that view . . .

Arcimboldo, the artist who made portraits with nature

A Mannerist artist from Renaissance Italy

Who was Giuseppe Arcimboldo and why did he paint plants, fruit, vegetables and flowers in portraits?

by Adrian Murphy

https://www.europeana.eu/en/stories/arcimboldo-the-artist-who-made-portraits-with-nature?mtm_campaign=EuropeanaNewsletter-April2025

#art #painting

Vertumnus, a portrait depicting Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, painted as Vertumnus, the Roman god of the seasons, c. 1590–91. Skokloster Castle, Sweden.

The portrait is a striking allegorical representation: the emperor's face, hair, and attire are composed of a lavish array of produce that corresponds to different times of the year. His cheeks are made from ripe apples and pears, his forehead from gourds, and his lips from cherries. Grapes form part of his hair, along with wheat stalks and other foliage.

#ThrowbackThursday to last year when I made korok pouches, featuring a korok with a massive backpack with a functional pocket.

I’d honestly be willing to make them to order if someone really wants one, but I don’t think I’ll put them on my website or on my market stand again, mostly because they require a lot of time and material, which makes them quite expensive 💸

Two of the pouches are showing the backpack, with one of them open with flowers peeking out of the pouch, and two are showing the korok attached to it.
