This beautiful child  was so graceful she
reminded me of a dancer.  Even though I
painted a traditional
portrait of her, it just
didn't seem to fit her personality as well as
this
contemporary version I started with.

The Emotional Side of Art

Contemporary Art is simply art
that is created within our lifetime
or produced since WW II.  For
me, it is art that is a bit less
detailed and leaves more to the
imagination of the viewer such as
is
abstract art or impressionism.  
All can cross over a bit into the
other and can be debated long
after the cows have come home.  
For me Contemporary Art is a
way of letting emotions flow into
your work without having to
explain anything.  It is pure
emotion on canvas woven as the
viewer sees it t
hemself.  Oil
Paintings created to look like
Watercolor Art; Abstract Oil
Paintings mused from the
Galaxies; Pure Color divined
from
Nature; Art is everywhere
and in everything pure and
simple.
