\"untitled<\/a>As promised, a little weekend dose of art is here for you. This piece is a mixed media\u00a0painting by\u00a0Amy Longcope<\/a> and definitely something that would bring joy and energy to a room. I’m going to let an excerpt from her biography speak for her process:<\/p>\n

“Amy Longcope\u2019s approach when creating a new piece is not to paint something specific, but rather to unleash her intense desire to create with beautiful colors and varied shapes that encourage and evoke meaningful thoughts in both her and the viewer. \u00a0Amy uses various mediums and gels to build layers and textures of color.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Tall canvases are wonderful to create\u00a0on (ones just about this size, 4′ x 1′, are what I often worked on in art school) as they allow you to explore strong vertical elements and imagery that even portrait orientation could not. \u00a0They also fit in those odd spaces \u00a0between furniture, next to a door or even on a door.<\/p>\n

Amy’s intuitive color choices are stunning\u00a0and fearlessly saturated. Take a look at her website<\/a> or spend some time going through this great gallery of her wor<\/a>k<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am going to switch up blog days this week so I won’t have one for you two days in a row. I know how much we all have to read these days! So we’ll see you Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspirational Challenge of the Day:<\/strong> Work on a piece that emphasizes the vertical. Tall and thin can certainly do this but how imagery or elements are laid out will emphasize vertical composition as well. Follow any path on this idea that playing around with it leads you.<\/p>\n
