I was wondering if anyone feels they might benefit from being part of an art group specifically for those here. I'm an artist, though I have to admit to you that I've produced absolutely nothing for ages due to being ill and in hospital, not having anywhere to exhibit for aeons and generally being extremely knackered out most of the time. But then I started thinking maybe I could do something positive about it. I've worked within what's called the 'Arts in Health' sphere and done a lot with things like colour therapy. I'd also like to say that you don't have to be rich to make art. I've done a whole exhibition made from recycled materials. It's all about taking yourself to another place for a while and having a bit of messy fun. No judgemental rubbish or anything like that. And if you don't think you're able to draw anything that looks remotely like what it's supposed to look like, well, that doesn't matter either. I think that maybe for starters you might like to message me if you are interested and then I'll try and work out a little programme. Just for us. Let me know what you think. Rainy X
Here's my next beachy artwork. It's by the Scottish contemporary painter Jack Vettriano and is called 'Sweet Bird of Youth'. Underneath is a study for the painting. He worked on this around 1990/2010. You've probably seen a lot of his work produced as cards and prints. I like a lot of what he does, though some of it is very dark, but he's self-taught; never went to art school, is hugely successful and the art establishment don't like him. Well done that man. You either like or hate his stuff. Have a look at his work and let me know what you think. Rainie x
I really like this artwork
I have a keen interest in street art and still capture stuff when i can. Theres many gifted street artists around. This image i saw in Southampton after an abdominal scan last Week.
"Where the waters do agree, it is quite wonderful the relief they give.” ― Jane Austen.
External stormy seas may continue to blow turbulently around calm water, to and fro.
I have noticed how the peaceful mind reflects upon still waters.
It's a favourite scene i like. Hope you like.
