Texture Thursday

Talking about textures again?

Yes...

I can't help it, its been very influential in my outfit decisions these pass days

What is texture?

A pattern with a profound mystical relief surface?

Maybe, but either way I wanted to share with you some

inspiration textured pictures that have brought a smile on my face and

who doesn't like a smile in their face?

:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Late Weekend

It still feels like Summer in the Midwest, but I am gently starting to get 

my mind around buying long sleeve tees and sweaters

  

Mostly in the Summer I get into this floral vintage state of mind 

that I love to explore and express 

Once the cool temperatures start to creep out, I get into my 

more modern, man influence adventure

Either way, I enjoy both :)

Here are a few weekend pics I would like to share with you :)

Checking out an exhibition at Arc Gallery

Really into the velvet jacket and scarf from the H&M Collection

A New Art Beginning

Over the pass weeks my thoughts for my art and my surroundings have changed
dramatically... in a good way I sense...
I still have my sad moments of losing my baby...but it's more now like I see
the happiness, the wonder of life, how someone you never pictured in your life
can bring joy and excitement to your life...even if it was for a moment

 I feel like my mind has been cleared, like I have awaken or expanded in a way
I'm not good at writing or expressing my thoughts through words, but here's a try

For a few years now, I have painted vintage images from old photos
They were figurative, full of color, some may say "visually understanding"
I painted what I saw....

I don't feel like painting something in this form anymore
I appreciate that series, but I feel the eager of painting what I feel now...

To be honest, I never really knew how to comprehend abstract art before, I knew
that I enjoyed the compositions or colors, but deep inside I didn't really decipher what I was
seeing, feeling when I viewed the pieces, until recently when I
started writing poems again

I see my art going towards a mix of minimalist/abstract expressionist
I want to strip it all off and bring it back to the basics
I want to create pieces that evoke emotion

The pictures I selected are inspiration for me, especially the last
De Kooning photos, I love the soft colors and strokes of those pieces

I will try to post more of my art as I am making it..... after all that's
why my blog is called "I Art Fashion"

Usually I don't write a lot on my posts, but
this post is important to me
I hope I made sense :)

Have a great weekend

These Pass Days

a lot of people....

Amazing piece
