I recently received an art challenge to create a piece of art by referencing /using up to five ‘things’ in my immediate area. I was in my studio so I was limited to what I could use. Here’s what I came up with. Perhaps this creation will find its way into one of my #digital compositions. Perhaps as a #texture ?.....#art#artist#colorful#colourful#kunst#arte #illustration#design#drawing#artwork#picoftheday#artoftheday#instaartist#instaart#artsy#artistsoninstagram ... See MoreSee Less

While listening to #CBCMusic #frequencies yesterday, I decided to do some art journaling. Experimenting with colour, composition, shape, design while inspired by the best of the best of 2021 music. #ErrolNazareth is host of this new radio programme. ....#yellow #journalling #artjournal #scribbleart #asemicpoetry #asemicwriting #asemic #asemicart #doodling #doodlingart #nothinginmind #zen #meditativeart #meditative #meditate ...

Motivation to create art ... - Cindy Matthews

cindymatthews.ca

I make a lot of art in the winter. Perhaps it’s being cooped up inside that lends itself to this pastime. I’m not inside much in the late spring, summer, and autumn.Read More...

Totally changed up yesterday’s painting. Added a brilliant splash of red which helped settle down the magenta. So I ask you: is this one done now? #paletteknifepainting #mixedmedia #art #contemporaryart #mixedmediaart #painting #artist #abstractart #collage #artwork #drawing #artistsoninstagram #abstract #modernart #illustration #instaart #acrylicpainting #artoftheday #artgallery #mixedmediaartist #collageart #watercolor #fineart #abstractpainting #artjournal #artcollector #kunst #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #originalart ...

Lots of artists work away on a painting and ask themselves along the way ‘Is it done?’ So I ask you: is this done? #paletteknifepainting #mixedmedia #art #contemporaryart #mixedmediaart #painting #artist #abstractart #collage #artwork #drawing #artistsoninstagram #abstract #modernart #illustration #instaart #acrylicpainting #artoftheday #artgallery #mixedmediaartist #collageart #watercolor #fineart #abstractpainting #artjournal #artcollector #kunst #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #originalart ...

Here I am, yours truly!I recently worked with folks in Arran-Elderslie Youth to create a video (under ten minutes) about my writing process. The video and other videos/presentations are part of the Milne Crawford Reboot (celebrating artist David Milne and poet Isabella Crawford, both with ties to Paisley, Ontario).Enjoy! (Video accessible here: youtu.be/4ZcrzNjxY0Y )Listen as multidisciplinary artist Cindy Matthews talks about where she finds inspiration for her writing.To view the video use the link in our link tree or visit the @paisleyartscapesocietyYouTube channel. This video we created as a resource for youth to facilitate creativity in their reinterpretation of David Milne and or Isabella Valancy Crawford, as well as to highlight and involve talented local community members. The dictionary definition of REBOOT is ‘the act or an instance of starting (something) anew or making a fresh start’. This video offers youth an option in how to rejuvenate Milne and/or Crawford by showcasing their own creativity, with performances of spoken word poetry, written poetry and/or visual art.This video series is funded by Bruce Power and The Community Foundation of Grey BruceCindy I.

Today I attended a fun Zoom webinar hosted by #LondonDrawingGroup. First we did a beginners’ #yoga session with @fruitinessa. Then Vanessa posed so we could capture her body’s lines and the #negativespace around her. Lily had us #draw for timed allotments ( 1, 3, 5, 7 minutes). This is what I came up with in the final live #drawing session which was 15 minutes. I elected to use twig #charcoal. I haven’t done #livedrawing since the late seventies in my art elective class. Thank you Lily and Vanessa. I had a blast. #artist #webinars #sketch #sketchclub@londondrawinggroup@lilyholder 🇨🇦🌨☃️🎨🎟✏️ ... See MoreSee Less
