SATURDAY IS ART DAY #2029


This post is all about some art I've found. If you are really not into art, I offer you this Golden Oldie that one recent commenter said was very funny...


And if you would like to read an excellent article about that soccer game where a 1-0 results was best for both teams, so they just kicked the ball around, here are the facts...

Yeah, like the purpose of Art is to do what a camera can do better.







 Yes, it's just paint...

I did something very similar to this...
 But my tree was life-sized and the faces were more or less also life-sized - formed by twigs and bark patterns.









This is a floor...

Design. You have to love good design...

Yeah, I've never really viewed realistic Landscapes and Portraits and Still Lifes as "Art." If anything, I think work like this is practice. You're getting better at reproducing Life but it doesn't become "Art" until you create something that doesn't exist.

I mean, I could get behind looking at a Portrait and ooooing and aahhing over their attention to detail. Like if someone painted a reflection in someone's eye. That's cool... but is it art?
