top 2 are new: liney landscapes + creatures of color.
really had fun with these! tried to emphasize creative
backgrounds w/ the creatures; let me know if you're
interested in "tricks" for this. am convinced the 3+
color scheme and linear brushwork make it nearly
impossible to paint a "bad" landscape.
we've talked on this list recently about art songs;
how about poetry? i recently found a book of poems
about nature in the city
http://www.milkweed.org/4_catalog/4_1_3_4105.html
and, being thrilled with it, started to wonder if
there was a collection of poems about art...google led
me to "discover" ecphrasis: graphic, often dramatic
description of a visual work of art (from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecphrasis). THEN i found
this website with a bunch of poems about art
