NEW ARTIST FROM NEW YORK

June 14, 2014 

Kanchan Mahon is a self taught artist from Vestal, New York. Her medium is handcut paper collage that's "quixotic, vibrant and surreal." Our task at Flicker's DIGITALMANIA group is to use her art as inspiration for creating our own in her style. Ours is primarily digital, however.
Here are examples of her art...

 and here are two of mine. 

Similar but different, right? DIGITALMANIA is a fun group that's always introducing us to new artists with different styles... always a challenge!

Thanks for stopping by...Happy Father's Day Weekend if you happen to be celebrating or are part of a celebration!

Hugs 'til my next posting,

TWO FUN PIECES

May 10, 2014  

Hi Dear Ones,

Tomorrow is Hump Day...midweek! Hope you're having a good week thus far and are busy doing things you like to do!!  :) I'm loving being out in the sunshine, smelling the flowers and walking barefoot in the verdant green grass. 

Some of my time has been spent doing the following fun art blog challenges- for your enjoyment (and mine...)

INSPIRATION AVENUE declares its theme to be simply "juicy!"  Sadly, I thought of gossip and how damaging it can be...

For THINK MONDAY, THINK ATC (TMTA,) the subject for art is "sandals." 

Just a short posting this time... enjoy the rest of your week! Thanks for taking a peek at my art!

Big Hugs,

GLORIOUS, GREEN DAYS

June 8, 2014  

 

These are the kind of days that you're happy to be alive...lush green grass, flowering trees and blooms of all colors and varieties dot the landscape. Central New York has definitely awakened from her winter slumber and this resident is loving it! I hope you're well and enjoying life in your corner of the world! :)

This week, the blog art challenges are as varied as the blossoms outside my window! Here they are...

For COLLAGE OBSESSION (theme: nature) and SUNDAY POSTCARD ART (theme: in the garden,)  I used the same quirky creation...

For INSPIRATION AVENUE (theme: favorite month) and SOARTFUL CHALLENGES (theme: black & white June celebration,) these pieces seem to work...Clearly, my favorite month is June- also the month of our wedding anniversary!

THE THREE MUSES, despite the gorgeous days and nights, declared their theme to be sorrow...

Finally, for THINK MONDAY, THINK ATC (TMTA,) the call was for art involving an umbrella...

 I hope your week is sunny...not requiring the use of an umbrella!! Enjoy yourself and please do stop in again.

Thanks for checking in...
Big Hugs,
