Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

Re: Through One's Eyes

This is one of my fav paintings. Found it in an Op shop of cause. Still not sure why I like it so much, or who the artist was. Peaceful I guess. Remind me to put up my first acrylic painting I had framed, and some of my son's 1st water colours he won prize at show for. This is a good thread idea. Hope I'm on track xox

That is beautiful @Former-Member so serene, so peaceful, so simple and beautiful.

Looking forward to seeing your painting and your son's also.

You are spot on - it's a place to share anything Arty related - images, thoughts, ideas, etc etc

Lovely to see you here and sharing with us

Re: Through One's Eyes

Hi @Zoe7....

I particularly enjoy painting - even if I don't ever actually like my artwork.... (therefore not sharing any...)

I got straight A's for art at high school, but I don't know why....

I can't paint or draw on anitpsychotics.... horrible side effect....

My favorite artist is Monet - particularly his waterlily paintings.....

My creativity is currently limited to making a few cards a year with scrapbooking stickers, card & decorations.... (They can cost a bit to make, so I only make them for people who seem to appreciate the effort....)

I love the artwork in your profile picture @Zoe7

Namaste,

A

Re: Through One's Eyes

@aButterfly so I think the "My favourite artist is Monet" club count is now at 4.

Myself @Faith-and-Hope and I think it was @Former-Member (hope I got that write Tawney) and now yourself.

His waterlillies series is beautiful.

I also love the mystical flavour of his Venice and sunset paintings.

Re: Through One's Eyes

Hi @aButterfly .... 🤗💕

I haven't caught up with you for a while ...,

Yes .... love, love, love Monet and the Impressionists, even though my style is more realism, I am trying to learn from them. I love the fact that they were coming from a perspective of light and colour.

Making cards was one way I fed my creativity through vast periods of time when I couldn't paint. That, and making .... let's say ....creative .... birthday cakes for my kids. It was soooo worth it to hear my S1 (28yo) say within my hearing, "We had the most AWESOME birthday cakes growing up .... !!" And he's my biggest introvert .... lol ....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope.....

I deleted my account about 2 months ago... I was very paranoid.... I just re-joined today.....

Lovely that your son appreciates the effort you made!

I don't know how good I would be at decorating cakes if I ever have children....

Namaste,

A
