My facebook friends know that I've recently come down with a serious case of painting frenzy. As you may recall, my friend Arthur suggested I pick watercolor painting back up for the first time in five years. I started out really bad (like, REALLY) but was sort of amazed and surprised myself when I started to improve quickly. I've been painting animals, but I have visions of someday painting funny portraits and rooms and houses and more. I thought I'd share some artists who have been inspiring me lately:
Stina Persson is the master of a beautiful bleed, and controlling white space.
Samantha Hahn captures gesture in her amazing fashion-inspired works.
Dallas Shaw creates whimsical fashion-inspired work. It reminds me of the stuff I liked to draw when I was little.
Sujean Rim Bruno is famous for her work with Daily Candy and Target; I used to stare at my Daily Candy emails, trying to figure out her secret!
And we must always pay homage to our forebears:
And Andy Warhol!
And last but not least, here is one of my recent favorites I did: a pink Bourke parrot.
