I am an acrylic creationist from Canada. I paint on canvas and wood boards. My art is modern,mathematical,universal and poetic, like music and invokes energy projected from the brush.

Wow, it's been awhile LMMers....so many new faces in here but glad to see a lot of familiar ones too :-)  I am going to make this quick and to the point!

I am curating and international postcard exhibition in Lancaster, Pa USA at a local gallery I am a resident artist in. …

It may have taken me years to figure this part out, but art is very much rooted to the advantaged qualities of the artist (whether that be painting, singing, drawing, dancing, sculpting, photographing, etc). So.....what the heck does that mean? Well, put it this way - if you're a veteran, handicapped, mentally ill, autistic, or possess any traits that make you stand out from the crowd, then consider embracing these traits in your artwork. This may sound strange and might even be offensive to…

 I am donating a piece of artwork to charity and they require an art appraisal in order to issue me a tax receipt. I have an artists friend and gallery owner who may be able to do the appraisal for me but I need a good blank appraisal form to provide him with.  Does anyone know where to find good sample art appraisal forms? I did a quick search and havn't really found anything yet. I am looking for something with the appropriate categories that we can simply fill in.

Thanks…

"What is Constant in Art" is a question posed by my model drawing instructor.

So, what are some answers you could think of?

It started out as a bit of a lark. I was just being funny to amuse myself.  But the first one was so well received that I did another and then a third. I've been taking Science Fiction characters and plugging them into religious art...  



 Like I said, the first one was a bit of a lark so I…

Art

You are a friend I have learned to trust

In your world, creating is a must

Sometimes I wonder how we met

Must have been those coloured crayons, I bet…

Hello guys hope all is well in the LMM world. As for myself I am doing good. Hurricane Irene canceled my show I was having but it has been postponed until October. And while I was riding passenger in a utility van we had a 5.6 earthquake here on the east coast of the USA prior to the hurricane and that never happens and I missed it. They say if you were driving you would not have felt it or realized it was an earthquake. 

Now enough about that...I have a new shiny…

Me and resin have a love hate relationship. However I am addicted to making these wearable art pendants. I haven't painted…

Lately, my mind has been bombarded with questions, but one in particular caught my interest - is creativity a mental disorder? Now, before any of you send me off to a psychiatrist or start laughing, hold your horses and please read on. First off, everyone is creative. I don't care if you tell me that you cannot paint, draw, play an instrument(s), etc. YOU are still creative! The only thing that might set you apart from the rest of the crowd is your degree of creativity. In other words, your…

Some of you are still skeptical about the stone carving I found. Frankly, I'm on the same boat. However, after washing the rock I found several new clues which seem to point to the fact that some form of intelligence made the markings. Let's start with the "reindeer". Here's a photo comparison (credits go to Ed Book Photo).…

Unless I have completely gone insane, I am quite certain that the marks on the rock were carved by hand. The question is: were these marks made recently or do they travel back many centuries? By the way...I took the rock with me. I did some imagery searching online and came across a reindeer petroglyph that looks like the one on this rock. Take a look at the video below (you can select HD for better video quality). Let me know what you all think...…

Since my husband's death, I have been re-evaluating my life. In a way, his passing brought to a close the life I knew, and I am having to build a new life without him. I have realised that I can view this as a blessing or a curse and have chosen to see this as an opportunity (albiet painful one) to recreate myself and choose the life I want instead of letting circumstances dictate it for me.

I have never really learned how to dream or set goals for myself, so I am on a steep learning…

My family took a short road trip today to the little town of West Bend, Iowa.  We went to see The Grotto of Redmption.

What on earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing?

I've been through some heavy crap lately.  I won't go into the gory details, but I tell you, it can be life altering.  I am trying to get a foothold - and I turned my attention (finally) back to art to help me cope.

I always had this view of artists in their studios, with their easels and paint, supplies in nice arty boxes, maybe an oriental rug on the floor, stained glass in the windows, listening to wonderful music as they create.  Somehow, I felt this was an achievable model…
