Art: Beautiful artwork from abstract expressionist artist Jared Boyd (02)

I am really touched by his refined artwork. Take a look below at these 4 paintings. Aren't they beautiful to see? I wrote MORE BLOGS about his inspiring artwork. 

 

More about the artist Jared Boyd

What Jared wrote about himself:

My name is Jared Boyd. I earned a degree in mechanical engineering after serving in the Marine Corps. After graduating I quickly learned that I needed a hobby to occupy my extra time. I was at a local art festival in 2015 when I discovered a particular artists work that really moved me. I couldn't stop thinking about how her art made me feel. I visited her the next day and asked if she would mentor me. That began my artistic journey.

Artist Statement

My art is a response to the environment around me. The intention of my approach to painting is to be gestural, intuitive and thoughtful. The sources of my inspiration are many and include emotion, thought, meditation, music, nature and life. I utilize a variety of mediums including acrylic paint, graphite, charcoal, gesso and oil pastels.

My process is to create many layers and marks on the canvas as to reveal the history of a piece. My intent is for the layers and mark making to illustrate an emotional and colorful journey on the canvas that is both visually appealing and balanced. It's my belief that art brings special meaning to life. It's my hope that others can find special meaning in art as well.

ART: Beautiful artwork by artist Francoise de Felice (Part 1)

While surfing on internet this morning I found this beautiful artwork from the French artist Francoise de Felice. Love her refined painting as well as her coloruse. Part 2 will follow soon. Be Inspired ........

More about the artist:

Françoise de Felice, descendant of an Italian father and French mother, was born in Paris where she lived until she was 20 years of age. As a child Françoise de Felice was introduced to art by her grandmother. Later whilst at the Sorbonne she also attended the Beaux Arts. Her initial introduction was to that of Impressionism. 

Françoise de Felice then left France for Sicily where she found that the French Impressionism was not enough. There she developed her own style, letting go of the well worn paths in order to create her own style. Inspired by the magnificence of The Sicilian baroque and the light of the island she reached out further to an almost liquid yet precise line. Her style derives both from instinct and depth of thought. The compositions of her paintings are an introspective story, one of self analysis. 

After a number of comings and goings between the mediterranean and France, Françoise de Felice settled on the Ile de France close to Paris. Her works have been exhibited well in France and also Europe in Padua, Rome, London, Paris and Geneva.
