Last April, ybonesy from red Ravine posted a blog entry about her process to create her first painting: “In fall of last year I had an opportunity. A gallery owner in New York City saw my doodles on Flickr and invited me to join a group show in spring 2009.” Below is a snapshot early in the process. Jump inside to see what she created.
Today marks the one year anniversary of Barak Obama’s inauguration.To celebrate Michael Cuffe of The Obama Experiment has released a special print titled: I Still Believe: “I believed in him a year ago, and today… I still believe.”
Reader Andrea sent us this really cute one she found on StrangeWeirdo’s Deviant Art page: “Things that should never happen”. We and apparently dozens of people on deviant art adore the drawing – which makes the artist’s comment even better: “haha if i’d known people were going to like this i would’ve put effort into it”
created this piece depicting President Obama and Michelle dancing at inauguaral ball: “he proud, she joyfull: Although this looks, and feels like a painting, it is actually done with graphite pencil and charcoal”. Learn more inside…
Here is an excellent acrylic example from Clayton Singleton: “…painted with layers of color covered with one “skin” color overlayed with an image of Obama with the Presidential oath written and scored throughout the image. I painted this after Barack Obama won the 44th Presidency. It was displayed in The Selden Gallery and published on January 20, 2009 in Portfolio Magazine.”
