Ok, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Well maybe just maybe it is because I like showing.
Cabinet of Curiosities prompt # 4 is Wonder.
We are to wonder about who or what inspires us and then copy them or their style in our ART this week.
This was easy. If you have read my blog, you know I am in awe of Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918). I have been inspired by his art on several projects. Another person that I am in awe of is my Granny (1898 - 1995). So there is my inspiration.
Here is my art-at-the-desk for today on my desk calendar. I'm just studying Klimt's Portrait of a Woman, 1917-18 (unfinished). I played using oil pastels, a new medium for me. I think studying his unfinished art is very helpful as you can see "stages" of the piece. I guess it is sort of like me showing you stages of my work. I wonder...... More later,
