Artomat portfolio pages added to blog

Blogger has added a really nice feature, which allows you to add pages to your blog, making it more like a website. I have added 4 Artomat Portfolio pages to the blog, so that you can see all 50 works I painted for my first ever Artomat installation.  Each of these pages has a "Mini Masterpiece" that comes in a box with a short background piece about the original artist (Kandinsky, Mondrian, Klimt, or Frank Lloyd Wright).

Here's a link to the first page of my portfolio.  




Wondering where you can find original art dispensed from a refurbished cigarette machine?  Looking to start an art collection without breaking the bank?  Check out the map, and know that new locations are being added all the time.  For the low, low price of $5, you, too, can become an art collector!  (Take that, Southeby's!  Just kidding, Southeby's.  You're a wonderful, classy, really expensive organization.)  :)

Update on Works in Progress

Clarice and I had a blast in the studio this weekend.  We added more Jackson Pollock to the blue and green painting, which I keep referring to as " Wild Sargasso Sea ."  (Clarice thinks this name is hilarious.) White splotches, silver, and dark blue swirls happened here. Wild Sargasso Sea Then, the coral painting that I refer to as the "more Mondrian -ish" piece had some gold geometric highlights added to its negative space.  After this, I felt like the painting was suddenly channeling some Gustav Klimt .  I'm calling this one "Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals."  (Musical composers write incidental music to accompany or accentuate the action in scenes.)  Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals I still feel like my background colors of bright blue and coral on these two paintings were inspired by Kandinsky .  I also felt that the lyrical, rhythmic lines might make him smile.  He believed each painting captured a musical symphony.  ...
