Impressionism....Paul cezanne

Paul Cezanne

Well ahead of his time in the arts.

I have been reading about Paul Cezanne life. Why does art cause so my depression???

He was one of the first in the Impressionists movement, but still had no real success until after years of painting and again once he died.

Why does art create a temperament in painters that they become emotional and filled with self doubt?

It made me sad to read that his life was filled with such despair and sadness.

He is one of my favorite painters.

Here is a gallery of his paintings.

Please enjoy

Today would be a good day to do a still life painting.

Pick one of Cezanne's or create your own set up.

Art for the Heart....Jackson Pollock

Art for the Heart.......

Red and Black Hearts, Jean Hart, www.zazzle.com/jeanhar1*

It's about this time of year I start to think I should be paintings hearts for Valentines.

I gave myself a little challenge to paint for an exhibit called,

"I'm a Fool for Love"

It will be full of hearts and love and lots of emotion.

I came across this painting I did some years ago. It must have been during my Jackson Pollock period.

Viewing Jackson Pollock paintings you would think that he just leaves the paint to fly across the canvas with no real thought to where its going to land.

But, no, he paints with intention and his works are filled with cathartic emotions energy.

His techniques are from dripping, to splattering and pour paint onto the canvas. Sometimes he uses sand or glass to add texture to his paintings. Later his technique came to be known as Action Painting.

For me this technique was very hard. My mind would not let me be that free and my paintings ended up with recognizable shapes.

So today's challenge is to let yourself be free to drip, splatter, and pour.

It is lots of fun.

Be Inspired,

P.S. Some of Jackson Pollocks most famous paintings are: The key, 1946, Number One, 1950 Greyed Rainbow, 1953
 

Blue Monday

Blue Monday

Hearts Wish, Jean Hart

Midnight souls, Jean Hart
All the Christmas decoration have been put away with care for next year.
All the reflections on last year were looked at and a list made for the coming year.
Yet, something feels undone.
Something feels just a bit empty, even though I have great plans for the coming year. I have wonderful plans for new paintings. I just feel a little sad today.
Blue Monday really isn't about being sad. It's a display of blue things, paintings and now I guess feelings.
I have set my timer to only write for 30min today....since the only way I know how to get out of a blue mood is by moving. I will have to get to my feet soon.
Picasso had a blue mood period.
"The Blue Period of Picasso is the period between 1900 and 1904, when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. "
