What do you see? by Cheryl Andrews©
On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

This image took me right back to childhood and fairyland, and I saw a fairy (red gown) evanescently shimmering in a landscape of flowers and vines turned to crystal and precious stones, so gorgeous, so evocative — I used to wander endlessly as a kid imagining scenes like this…! Thank you.

Beautiful, Barabara. When I did this piece it was without design in mind. What I saw when it was done, still do, is also a magical forest with a small lake. An ancient tree sits beside the lake looking at its reflection. And that tree has a red, beating heart.

A lake which your artist’s eye has reinterpreted with the strokes of your magic paint brush. The red streak is a canoe skimming across the surface on a lovely quiet morning.

Love what you see, Allison, and of course there is no right or wrong answer. What you, the viewer sees, how you interpret the image is what’s important to any artist, especially this artist.

1. Monet’s garden
2. A fabric pattern for moiré silk
3. Something like verdigris but not exactly that, caused by oxidation on metal

Thank you for the education in moiré and particularly, moiré silk, Elizabeth! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moire_(fabric) And, The Graphics Fairy offers instruction on faux verdigris painting at http://thegraphicsfairy.com/faux-verdigris-finish/ My piece feels so inelegant. It was created using one-ply of tissue/kleenex (fun splitting the ply) worked onto hot press paper with a brush and acrylic paint. The best part … no image in mind when I did it. I was listening to a gifted speaker who had loaded the table with art supplies. Her belief is that the creative energy set free while she spoke meant we would hear her better.

Interesting, Cheryl, because I went to a similar talk recently, where we were supposed to do art or crafts (materials supplied) while listening to a talk. I have to say that I found it distracting, though, and couldn’t really focus on either, but many seemed to enjoy it. What was your experience?

It got my busy mind focussed on just two things rather than a thousand, the speaker and making art. It was a talk about Quantum Healing. I find the forest a healing place. Think there’s a connection?

The view from space of where a train spilled a load of red house paint (interior, latex, low VOCs). The river was not poisoned. So, a reasonably happy story (except for the houses that would now have to be painted blue). But the best part was the lesson learned, ie: sh*t happens and pipelines are probably bad things, much worse than a trainload of paint…

Brilliant as usual, Carin, and (sadly) timely!
