I drew this sketch this morning, it really reflects how I'm feeling about my art lately.
I constantly have Ideas floating over my head...and sometimes having too many ideas popping all at once is confusing and overwhelming...(I know some of you know exactly what I mean).
Which one I start first? I want to do them ALL now! Yikes! what a great lesson for patience and seeking wisdom....
Yeap! It's true! She is coming back with her cute little girls and boys! Hurray!
During the past four months I have been studying and researching "Naive/Naif Art". I have found great sources of info and amazing artists around the world. I admire the usage of bright colors and the gorgeous magical landscapes...totally enchanting!
Three of my favorite artists are Silvana Langlois: Silvana Langlois. and Pilar Sala: http://www.artenaif.com/Galeria.htm and Alejandro Costas: http://www.alejandrocostas.com.ar/galeria.asp?tabla=obrasI I admire their work, is magical! I love their interpretation of the landscape and skies...
More about Naive Art: http://www.daprix.com/barton/artist/naive.html#Anchor%20Intro%20Naive Here is a little from Anatole Jakovsky, one of the foremost patrons of naïve art and the founder of the Musée International d'Art Naïf Anatole Jakovsky, Nice, France.
" The individual vision of every naïve painter arises from a condition of the soul, which is particularly unique and commanding. this vision, like every artistic concept, merges with a necessity to express itself, a necessity much stronger than the artist himself. He succumbs to this necessity and is forced to realize his vision at all costs. One is reminded of what 'le Douanier' Rousseau said; "It is not I that am drawing, it is this thing at the end of my hand." the conclusion to be drawn from this is that the naïve painter is akin to a person possessed. He is in the grip of a 'thing', the nature of which he cannot logically understand." -Anatole Jakovsky
Here is an example of some great Naif artists from around the world:
