Hello again !... or if for the first time... Welcome ! 🙂
Last week I told you that I was in the art buying mood and I showed you some photos of some flowers in a bucket on a chair. 😄 I still love it, but that was not all I bought. I bought two more very different pieces that same week, but this is not one of those. I just bought this one a couple days ago and it just got here today.
Again I found the art and Artist on Etsy. The artist's name is Marlina Vera and you can only guess that again, the bold colors snatched me in.
"They" say that Pablo Picasso and George Braque are credited for starting the cubism style painting. Most new styles were somewhat a rebellion I think. Much earlier it seems, if it wasn't realistic looking, it didn't count as art to the snooty art world. Pish ! Posh ! said a lot of other artists since then and they forged many new art trails.
The name of this one was "Selfie #3" Inspiring... right ? LOL... but that IS what it depicts, so it's all good. I almost dimissed it as an option when I first looked through her work. I am not a big selfie taker after all. I use to take some, but now I'm old and decrepit ... so.... anyway.... Somehow it grew on me though as I thought it was somewhat fun and funny how she took an old'ish type style and made it her own with fun colors and sometimes updated subjects.
It appears the woman is winking for her selfie. She must be out partying with the city lights in the background. I think she is going to send it to you. Such a big flirt !
It's kind of neat how the face is like 3 faces. The left side could nearly be peacefully meditating.
The right side awake and alert.... you just can't resist the green eyes, can you?
Oh wait, are you sure that's not just her profile? I hope not, because her noggin seems to be shaped like a quarter moon .... and I'm not sure the guys will find that attractive. LOL !
I think she is delightful all in all and in the real she is really a BRIGHT girl !! I am totally loving how colorful she is.
I think Pablo and George would be delighted that a style they helped pioneer has been adjusted, expanded, brightened and is still carrying on.
This girl is going to add a lot of happy to this house and who knows, I may have another later.
Ok... that's all for this one. I'll show you the other two I bought before too long.
Monday ! I was SO glad for the working part of this day to be over. It was a weird feeling kind of day, although I can't really explain why. But...now that I've shown you the fun art that came today, I think I will go to the kitchen and see what I can come up with for supper !
