According to Tate.org.uk, ‘Minimalism or minimalist art can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing. ... With minimalism, no attempt is made to represent an outside reality, the artist wants the viewer to respond only to what is in front of them.’In the series of abstract minimalist pieces created for the 2022 desk/wall calendars, I kept this in mind, to NOT imitate, to NOT represent outside reality, to ALLOW the viewer to respond only to what is there.Stay tuned in future posts for more of the ‘art behind the art.’........#minimalist#abstract#calendarimages#artbehindtheart#artist#alcoholink#blownart#tileart#minimalpalette#minimalcolorpalette#minimalism ...

What’s new in the sketch journal this week? Finished a page and did two more. Such fun doing quick drawings of random faces using marker, ink, ballpoint and/or pencil crayon. Love drawing on ‘other’ paper e.g., brown paper grocery bags, newspaper. ... See MoreSee Less

Benefits of a daily sketchbook practice: Keep sketching everyday. Learn from sketches. Do them loose and fast or slowly and carefully. Practice seeing. Regular stuff that’s nearby. Stuff in the kitchen. Items outside a window. No excuses to not draw. 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
