The Artist's talk

     I just want to thank all those who braved the icy cold to come out for last night's Art Talk!  I had a really good time and it was wonderful to be able to spend time afterwards chatting with you all :-)

    

The Artist's Talk

Found on Facebook with many attributions.

     I've been invited to give an Artist's talk.  On Monday.  In front of other artists.  And normal people.

   I'll be talking about all of the series that I'm working on at the moment, and why I feel that it's perfectly OK to work both realistically and abstractly at the same time.  It's funny the number of people who seem to have hard and fast art laws.  This could end up being a rumble!

 

   This will be held at the Hamilton Public Library on Monday, at 7 pm.   Please come and join me!

"Ribbons" Watercolor 2012.
Working still with  flow, movement and the lovely sketchy effects of very liquid watercolors.  I like the intensity of the colors and the way that this one holds the viewer's attention with the almost Celtic knot  line configuration.The original is on my wall and is a real conversation starter.

Once again, the original is not for sale but a very good quality print is on Zazzle.com

Still having a good time with the new Windsor & Newton watercolor set!  I particularly enjoyed the illusion of movement in this one!

Still enjoying the semi abstraction!  I like the movement and color pop of this one.

This one is a little different for me.  It can be difficult to stop before you get too descriptive with a landscape.  I like it because at a distance you see the landscape, but as you get closer you see the lovely variations in color that only happen with watercolor.

The original is not for sale, but you can click on the image to purchase prints starting small and less than $10, or go larger and also inexpensive!

The wonderful thing about abstraction is that each person who sees it sees something different there.  What I think I painted isn't necessarily what the viewer sees, to me this is much more interesting than a stagnant realistic piece.  These pieces invite conversation.

The above piece, "Brown Squiggly" is for me a prime example of this.  It's available on Zazzle.com/kathysgallery as a print, starting at less than $10.  The "for sale" tab at the top will take you to a slideshow of this and other recently completed abstract prints.
