Back To The Art Exhibition

Looks like art will be part of my life as the more exhibitions I visit, the more I am attracted to art. I like diversity, so as long as it's art, I'm ok with it, but you know how life is, you accept what you get. Art exhibitions are organized by different parties and I'm happy with whatever I get, painting, drawing, sculpture, textile art, you name it.

If the exhibition has a mix of artworks, even better. The last exhibition I visited had quite a variety on display, so imagine my joy when I saw it. This was a private collection, so what I saw was the owner's taste in art.

Haystacks

Simple watercolor painting, with a lovely color combination. I have a similar one at home, as far as the colors are concerned, but mine is a watercolor forest.

Visions

This was a precious painting in my eyes, due to the colors. You can buy me with that green combined with blue and this was perfect. Too bad I could not take a decent photo, due to my biggest enemy, when it comes to art. I was thinking of how I could deal with reflection, what solution could I find to be able to take at least half decent photos. I can't go to art exhibitions with a selfie stick.

Riverbank

Autumn Forest

This was a special one in my eyes, due to the colors and the techniques. These brush trikes are a bit rough, but maybe that's the reason the painting looks special to me. It is lovely scene though.

Autumn Forest (2)

This was a gorgeous one, would hang it on my wall any day. The artist is not among us anymore, so the value of his paintings are most likely higher now and it's possible you don't find any of his paintings for sale. Unless you buy it from a private collector. I love this.

Trunk - on the left.
Rupture - on the right.

Simple but expressive.

Landscape

This is a simple style, but I like it. I can't really explain why, but I find beauty in it.

End Of The Village

Looks a bit rough, but this is what life looked like in the village in the past. This is a lifelike illustration of that.

Two artworks by the same author, you most likely see the similarities in style. I can't say it's a style I like, but it is interesting.

Church on The Hilltop

This is another lively one, minimalist in my eyes and therefor nice. It's a simple technique and the artist only used a few colors. The reason I like this is because you can observe and learn how to create something similar. It's pencil on paper, there are no hidden color mixing and priming you have to know. I should try to reproduce this the best way I can and learn, so I can do mine one day.

Another one from the same artist, I like this even better. Those barns were someone's whole treasure once and the artist managed to recreate the scene on paper perfectly.

Still Life

Sunflowers

Sunflowers always remind me of Vincent Willem van Gogh, the famous Dutch Post-Impressionist painter, but these are not those kinds of sunflowers. It's a different composition, it's very lifelike, at least that's how I see it.

Salt Land

I was going to say this is a scene you can see almost anywhere if you go to the woods. The muddy grass looks so real. Then I saw the title. We have salt mines in the country and salt salt mountains, but somehow I did not recognized it on the painting. Regardless, it's a very nice one.

I don't want to say anything yet, but the more time passes, the more I feel I should dedicate some of my time to art. I need to give another try cell painting, which most likely is going to happen towards the end of February, or the beginning of March. The other thing I'd like to try out is graphics and illustration, just for fun.
