For example, carnival, but at the stage when people have already dispersed, but the atmosphere is still there. In this, and in no other manner, Diane Millsap draws New Orleans for ten years now.

Jeannie McGuire: in a world of other people's memories

Became the artist Jeanne McGuire (Jeannie McGuire) was thanks to the gift of Providence talent, colossal patience, own opinion and imagination, the development of which was greatly contributed by the prize from the California Watercolor Society.

She is fascinated by photographs of the beginning of the century before last, preserved and transmitted by them styles, silhouettes and facial expressions. Therefore, all the images created by Gini are very nostalgic and similar to the memories of a particular person.

A true work of art should be noticeable from a great distance, and it's not about color and not in size. This is sure Gini McGuire. The key elements of each canvas are the composition itself, the created contrast, even if just a few details will be highlighted with light, as well as a unique style. The artist's goal is not just to create an image, but to convey to the viewer the history of the individual, to evoke feelings for her. After all, the essence of a person can be conveyed through his becoming, gestures, facial expressions and relationships with others. Of course, the color solution is of global importance. But it should not necessarily be bright, rather faded and dirty. Then the picture becomes as close to the existing objective reality.

Romona Youngquist - we just dream of peace

Romona Youngquist is very poetic about what she is trying to achieve through her own painting. She wants to deceive her viewer, using muted colors and blurry outlines. And achieves such a tone in a conversation with him that it begins to seem as if the pictures whisper. Only, perhaps, it is more a deceit of a hearing, instead of sight. Academic education, this American artist has never received, so her arsenal is full of objects that, it would seem, can not have anything to do with the artist's tools. This is sandpaper, pile of a clothes brush, very soft and small pieces of fabric and much more - the same unconventional, but suitable for battle with paints on the canvas. This is how Romona Youngquist and perceives his work - as a battle. In this battle, she fights for the creation of beauty, and paints and tools resist her. This imagination can only be envied.

He clutched at him because he decided to implement on paper the idea that came to his head. And he is forced to draw a jug or an apple. Romona Youngquist belongs to that small cohort of happy children who managed to grow into great artists, bypassing artistic violence of any kind. After all, she knew exactly from the age of four that she would become an artist, no one else.

Michael Cheval art for sale
Today there are three areas in which the artist creates his paintings: still lifes, landscapes and lovers. It was the latter that brought him popularity. Crooked houses in the Copenhagen style, huge, brightly lit windows, hanging over the city twilight - these components unite them all. But lovers in these pictures are always different, judging by their appearance. But they are always the same if we consider them in the foreshortening of unifying feelings.
