monsters attack the rainbow.

by charles ranon loriot, age 4.
watercolor on paper.

abstract flowers.

i have a few silver.toned brooch/pendant settings on hand. thinking i will make some photo brooches using sections from some of my florals. because they are only sections, they will be abstract. i have found i am a bit of an abstract realist. here's the first...

made from this print of a photo i took of a carnation...

all the pendants like this one, will be mounted in the silver setting and measure 40x30mm. all will be capped with an acrylic cap. i think this one came out lovely! i named it whisper for its softness.

ps. this is a print i had in my scrap pile. its printed on epson's matte photo paper and the tones and quality are super!

special people.

Special People

Artists are special people. He or she makes lovely pieces of art. Artists can draw or paint, sew, or craft. Some artists write music or poetry. Here are some examples of famous art, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da vinci, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky. Artists help make the world more beautiful. When I grow up I want to be an artist.

The End.
