Deep Sea Dreaming

Deep Sea Dreaming by Sara J. When I see works like this, I always re-appreciate the invention of 'abstraction' in the first place; to convey an elusive feel or energy in semi-concrete terms is a miracle unto itself. (Click the image for more info and zoom.)

The Eye of Horus

"An abstract image with Horus, the falcon-headed god of ancient Egypt as its subject." by David Robinson. It's a lush and striking painting. Abstract elements adding an additional depth to the energy of the falcon itself and aggressive coloring as well. Nice!

Sun Horse, Moon Horse

Bradley Schenck is an AMAZING digital artist - you really have to check out the zoom image of this piece (click the image) to see all the incredible details, all the integrated Celtic knotwork, among other things. And if you want to see more of his work, check out his online shop which features Celtic designs as well as Retro-Futuristic designs (think Flash Gordon meets Myst) which will knock your socks off!

Fantasy Art of Anna Shakeeva

A wild image, sort of circus-ish, Alice in Wonderland-ish, and just overall interesting. (Click on the image for more info and zoom.)

Southwest Prickly Pear Cactus

A vibrant watercolor by Lori Andrews - really brings the desert to life with all the bright colors. (Click the image for more info and zoom.)

Egret

An original watercolor by Vicki Allen. The abstract blues in the background shape the negative space of the egret in watery tones - nice! (Click on the image for more info and zoom.)

Abstract 06 - Yellow

This is actually an abstract photograph, not a painting. Still, you could just sink into the colors and disappear. (Click on the image for more info and zoom.)

Frequent Flyer 0904

Stained glass art, aerial photography, abstract painting, crop circle, agricultural scene.... you decide. (Click on the image for more info and zoom.)

Black and White Abstract

Just an interesting black and white piece by Brandon Martell. (Click the link for a zoom.)

Pears

A piece by Christina Qualiana - simple subject, lovely execution. (Click the image for zoom.)

Night Comes On Cat Feet

"Night Comes on Cat Feet" by Iris - this is one of those cases where a good title completes the work nicely. (Click the image for more info and zoom.)

Abstract 1

I love the shape of this piece as well as the movement of the lines within it. Although I can't be sure (the site had no description) it looks like watercolor and ink. (Click on the image for more info and zoom.)

Isolation

This artist has a style which disturbs me - the bodies and shapes are all subtly "wrong" in some way, but in an intrinsically harmonious way - perfect for a piece called "Isolation". (Click the image for more info and zoom.)

Hummingbird Watercolor

"David R. Daniels Watercolors - My watercolor paintings reveal the natural world through light and color, and soar with the delight I find in the wonder of nature." His watercolors offer a subtle 'loose' but natural style, and I love the use of vibrant colors. (Click the image for more info and zoom image.)

Bathtime

This is an original oil painting by Heather Castles called "Bathtime" - I thought it was an excellent first entry in this blog because it really conveys mood perfectly. I also loved the details like the surfer dude on her foot and the pure blissful expression on her face. (Click the image for more info and zoom image.)
