Wild Art Wednesday on Thursday
Local Internet Outages Reek Havoc on Schedules
For a long look at what Wild Art actually is, be sure to check out the post – What is Wild Art?
Today’s wild art comes from the Brownsville Ship Channel
I was fortunate enough to have the big gun (a real camera, a real GOOD camera) along last spring when I spotted a name on a shrimp boat that reminded me of home, or specifically my whiskey sipping neighbor across the street – Joe.
Photographs, on their own, after thirty-six intense years of being obsessed with the format, do not do as much for my creative juices as do the things one can do with those too literal renditions. The Whiskey Joe is a perfect example of how to transform one of my average images into another, more appealing, less photographic style.
Aroura Art
Denton, Texas, artist Aurora Cabrera brings her Oaxacan roots to a series of watercolors originally created for cookbook illustrations. The series available here, was selected for variety in color and subject, as well as the obvious appeal for a person who loves to cook Mexican food. While her artwork is fairly hard to get, I can definitely get your eyes on her current work - on request.
Aurora's color usage exhibits those Oaxaca roots more prominently than the illustrations, and I am very happy to have even ONE of her canvas prints from the painting, titled, "Mama' " now available for purchase!
