A New Year and a new blog. This one is an online gallery of my work including what's new and what's on sale. The Watercolour and Drawing Tabs are still "under construction", expect more complete selections soon.
A closer look at works, with more details on the subject, size and with prices.
Here is the newest painting as seen in the PSWhimsy - Behind the Brush Blog:
This painting was inspired by a picture, taken by friends, of a masked and costumed participant of Carnival in Venice, Italy. Beautiful and elaborate costumes and masks are worn at this annual festival that ends on Ash Wednesday with the beginning of Lent.
Masks have interested me for some time, I have seen many beautiful ones in Venice and Verona in Italy, so I will be painting more in the future.
I thought I'd share a few pictures of a decorative mask and glimpses of masks worn by friends at a recent event.
....and here's one I wore, that left temporary blue patches on my face, to general amusement. Here it is pictured on a wooden giraffe. A lesson to me not to buy a mask at a dollar store.
Thanks for visiting this first instalment of GillinOlsonArt ............

ReplyDeleteWHEN THE TEMPEST FALLS
ReplyDeleteWhen the tempest falls
Seeds of tears wet the ground
Carrying in their wombs
The fruit of a new life:
LOVE!
Happiness will win the sadness
And overcome the rage.
Passion will conquest the madness,
Exceeding hearts with hope.
...And the tempest falls again,
Carrying in its womb
The embrio of a new war:
THE FREE WILL!
A fruit of a new sin,
Disagreement of a new age...

Happy New Year Gillian! Best of luck on your new blog. There is a wonderful quality to your painting . . . a bit mysterious (that Venetian air). I love the painting of the villages too. The hike would be a challenge for me these days and how sad about the mudslides.
