It's Christmas-week and the bliss continues! It would be so wonderful to live in a state of 'Christmas-time' all year! I love the whole atmosphere of this season, Spiritually and weather-wise.

Fine Art Textiles by Marilyn Henrion: Amazing & Awesome

Celebrating Textiles as a Medium for Urbane, Sophisticated Art

Today's feature: Fine Art Textiles & More by Artist Marilyn Henrion

Marilyn Henrion's hand-stitched constructions transform geometric elements into abstract, metaphorical images with strong graphic impact. With frequent references to literature, she uses color, line, and form much as a poet employs words to convey an emotion or idea.

As in poetry, the images are meant to resonate, being both themselves and something they may suggest to the viewer.

With sixteen solo exhibitions to her credit, and with works in museum, corporate and private collections worldwide, Marilyn Henrion’s reputation as one of the foremost contemporary, fiber artists is undisputed.

Recently, Henrion has added digital photography to her repertoire with Metropolis…...a series of photographic images based on the same geometric urban environment that inspires the artist’s textile works.

The artist's papers and sketchbooks are included in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art in Washington, DC. Among her many honors is a Fellowship from The New York Foundation for the Arts, awarded in 2002.

Digital Artwork by Stan Bowman: Extraordinary & Exquisite

'Must-view' Digital Artwork

Today's feature: Fantastic Digital Artwork by Stan Bowman

Stan Bowman has been an artist for nearly 50 years and has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally, as a photographer, painter and digital artist. His artwork is in such collections as the San Francisco Museum of Art, Bibilotech National in Paris, German Photographic Society and many other locations.

Since the mid 1980's he has been involved with digital imaging, not only with still images, but also with digital video, 3D animation and digital music.

His recent work is about finding new ways of seeing digital still images, sometimes working at the pixel level. What excites him is discovering new ways of restructuring imagery using current digital technology.

Stan Bowman's digital art is absolutely gorgeous! I love it and I believe you all will, too!

The Exquisite Abstract Art of Rom Lammar

The Magic of Abstract Art by Rom Lammar

Good day, Everyone! Today's post features the exquisite art of Rom Lammar.

Luxembourg artist Rom Lammar specializes in abstract paintings. "Although my creations are very intuitive and based on great spontaneity, I never forget the basic principles of a good abstract composition: right space division, unity, fineness of form, and a certain degree of mystery. In many ways, my paintings could be considered as inner landscapes."

Rom Lammar's love of traveling (he made a round-the-world trip in 1992-1994), combined to his interest in primitive cultures, have led the artist on a quest for the unusual and an increasing use of non-traditional elements in his work, such as sand, wood, rusted metal pieces, rope, and small stones.

Rom Lammar's recent paintings are influenced by sculptural forms and texture. The magic of his compositions is based on the way he uses depth, light, and shadow, to set the overall mood of the painting.

Be sure to turn on your speakers so that you can enjoy the sublime music accompanying this video!

The Gorgeous Fine Art of Beverly Carrick

Almond Blossom Poster Print
by Vincent van Gogh, 36 x 24

The Beautiful Fine Art of Beverly Carrick

Hello, Everyone!  Today's post features the gorgeous art of Beverly Carrick.

Beverly Carrick was born in California and gravitated to art at a very early age. In 1963, Carrick began to paint professionally and became known as a seascape artist in Laguna Beach and in Los Angeles.
Hello, Everyone!  Today's post features the gorgeous art of Beverly Carrick.

Carrick is mostly self-taught but at the same time, sought the expertise of major artists, luminaries such as Lukits, Kerr, and Franks. The appeal of Carrick's work lies in its timelessness, beauty, and unique interpretation of the Sturm and Drang of nature.

Carrick is well-known for the famed purple deserts, as well as mountain-land-and-seascapes. Carrick also finds inspiration in Roman and Greek saga which carry over into fantasy work. Moreover, Carrick loves to paint Western art and can catch both the seriousness and the subtle aspects of the "human condition" as it relates to the cowboys and townsfolk, alike.

The Work of American Sculptor Sterett-Gittings Kelsey

Hello, Everyone! Today's post features the divine sculptures of Sterett-Gittings Kelsey.

Kelsey works primarily in bronze, with sculptures ranging from three inches to twenty two feet in height. She is the leading sculptor of dance in the world today.

The Kelsey bronzes are owned by major collectors and connoisseurs of " Investment-level Fine Art ". These masterworks in bronze can be found in more than 300 public and private collections worldwide.

The Kelsey sculptures are hand-made from start to finish. The transformation from Kelsey's clay original, into a masterpiece in bronze, is a long and expensive process. A new ceramic mold is handmade for each sculpture. This mold is used only once.... then... it is destroyed in the casting process. There are about thirty five steps which each work passes through on the way to becoming a completed work of art.

Each sculpture bears: the copyright symbol: The artist's logo: the artist's name: date of origin: foundry mark; and the edition number.

Be sure to turn on your speakers so that you can enjoy the blissful accompanying music!

Astro Boy, Metro City & 'Blue' Energy

Astro Boy! Breathtaking Computer Animation  

Good day, Everyone! Today's feature is the extraordinary animated movie Astro Boy, in theaters 10-23-2009.  Looks amazing!

Astro Boy summary: "Few characters have made as powerful or as lasting an impression on international, popular culture as Astro Boy. The little robot first appeared in 1951 as a character in the celebrated artist and animator Osamu Tezuka’s legendary manga (Japanese comic book) and became an instant icon. He was subsequently featured as the star of his own television series in both black-and-white and in color, eventually airing in over 40 countries. Astro Boy created the standard for a new form of animation that has become as world famous as anime.

Now, for the first time, Astro Boy will be brought to life on the big screen. Created with breathtaking computer animation from Imagi Studios, the film Astro Boy is a thrilling tale of a true hero.

Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist named Dr. Tenma (Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive “blue” energy, Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is endowed with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly. While embarking on a journey in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters many other colorful characters along the way. Through his adventures, he learns the joys and emotions of being human, and gains the strength to embrace his destiny. Ultimately, learning his friends and family are in danger, Astro Boy marshals his awesome super-powers and returns to Metro City in a valiant effort to save everything he cares about and to understand what it means to be a hero." ~ Trailer Addict

But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing the truths old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late." ~ Disney.Go.com via Trailer Addict
