I know I just painted a Matisse for my Art within Art Series but his work fits so well with what

I am doing with this series that I decided that there will be several renditions from certain artists that I

feel are great for this series such as Matisse, Picasso and Kandinsky.

I love all the brilliant colors and shapes these artists use in their works.

The flooring is a small clip from one of Matisses paintings as well as the wall, the wall painting, the flowers, table top and of course the painting on the table is Matisse. I wanted to use a cat in this composition so in my searches did find that Matisse did a cat painting. I thought it was so funny so I added it for humor in the right lower corner. His imagination and use of color and cutout shapes always amazed me. Nothing ever seems in proportion yet is so appealing and fun to paint.

Enjoy

Henri Matisse  31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French Artist, known for his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsmanship.
Around 1904 he met Pablo Picasso, who was 12 years younger than he. The two became life-long friends as well as rivals and are often compared; one key difference between them is that Matisse drew and painted from nature, while Picasso was much more inclined to work from imagination.

In 1951 Matisse finished a four-year project of designing the interior, the glass windows and the decorations of the Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence, , often referred to as the Matisse Chapel. This project was the result of the close friendship between Matisse and Sister Jacques-Marie.[He had hired her as a nurse and model in 1941 before she became a Dominican Nun and they met again in Vence and started the collaboration, a story related in her 1992 book Henri Matisse: La Chapelle de Vence and in the 2003 documentary "A Model for Matisse".
He established a museum dedicated to his work in 1952, in his birthplace city, and this museum is now the third-largest collection of Matisse works in France.
Matisse died of a heart attack at the age of 84 in 1954. He is interred in the cemetery of the Monastère Notre Dame de Cimiez, near Nice.

Art within Art Series

This painting was a complete surprise even to me. I had a dream about Jackson Pollock

just going wild with all of his paint cans and just throwing paint all over the place.

I actually woke up and went into the studio at 3AM to do some quick sketches and notes before

I forgot my dream. 

The next day I sketched it all out and started squeezing in a few hours here and

there between my commission work to get it painted. I already had a few more art within art paintings started but I just had to get this one finished first. I work several at a time in between other projects as they have many layers of paint and glazes so while they are drying a bit in between layers, I get my commission work completed.

If you haven't seen the move Ed Harris did a great job of directing and starring in Pollock.

He was a reclusive alcoholic and was a mad man when he painted, hence the title Pollock Unleashed!

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract impressionist movement. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety. He was regarded as a mostly reclusive artist. He had a volatile personality, sometimes struggling with alcoholism. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy
Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related car accident. In December 1956, he was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, and a larger more comprehensive exhibition there in 1967. More recently, in 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London.
In 2000, Pollock was the subject of an Academy Award–winning film Pollock  directed by and starring Ed Harris.

Art within Art Series 

This is the first painting I did in a larger size

and it was so much fun. I had plenty of room

 to use  a lot of elements of Picasso.

The little lady on the sofa is from one of

Picasso's paintings and she looks like she is Day

Dreaming, hence the title of this painting. 

The the wall paintings, the flowers and the sculpture 

are also Picasso. I didn't know Picasso did I sculptures 

so this was a nice addition.

Thanks again IS

Wow...is all I can say! This painting took a very long time to paint!
I started it weeks ago and have been working in in between my commissions and other projects.
I could only manage to get one painting done this week for this series as I am blessed to
have many sales and commissions from this series that I am working on.
Thanks so much to all my collectors for the commission projects and your patience as each Art within
Art painting is so detailed and has so many layers of paint and glazes that they take quite some time to paint. Great paintings take time and cannot be rushed!

In this painting the back wall is a Kandinsky painting with my additions, the flowers are from a Kandinsky painting, I was surprised he painted flowers....the carpet is also from a Kandinsky painting as well as some of the other symbols he used such as the prints in the pillows.

This is how I would visualize Kandinsky today studying art in his personal Den and enjoying a nice glass of wine with his art surrounding him. I wouldn't mind having a room like this myself!

Enjoy!

Exquisite Works in Oil
Wine and The Artistic Approach

I love this Kandinsky Quote:

 "Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky 4 December  4 December] 1866 – 13 December 1944) was a Russian Painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works.
Kandinsky's creation of purely abstract work followed a long period of development and maturation of intense theoretical thought based on his personal artistic experiences. He called this devotion to inner beauty fervor of spirit, and deep spiritual desire inner necessity, which was a central aspect of his art.

QUOTE:
That it was a haystack the cataloge informed me. I could not recognize it. This non-recognition was painful to me. I considered that the painter had no right to paint indistinctly. I dully felt that the object of the painting was missing. And I noticed with surprise and confusion that the picture not only gripped me, but impressed itself ineradicably on my memory. Painting took on a fairy-tale power and splendor. Read more about Wassley Kandisky's Life Here

I always loved Matisse's Red Studio painting. It seems as he just left everything and stepped out.

In this rendition of his studio I added an easel and chairs and traded out the paintings in his original to my favorite paintings of his. I also added the wine bottle and glass and made several other changes.

This is a difficult painting to do with the background being solid red and the furniture just being outlines of yellow. I am including a video of The Red Studio by Matisse so you can compare the differences. I have been working in this here and there for a very long time and finally finished it. Yay!

Henri Matisse December 31 1869 –  November 3 1954) was a French Artist known for his use of color and his fluid and original design. He was known primarily as a painter. . Matisse is regarded, along with Picasso as one of the  seminal artists of the 20th century,  responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

Painting with The Masters

Exquisite Works in Oil

Wine and The Artistic Approach

I rarely paint living artists for my Master Series. However, I thought I might do a few of my favorites as a living homage to them. With these paintings I have / will more less do my rendition of their works with several changes not to try to dead copy the artist. They will be my impression and close enough in detail to honor these wonderful living artists as "My vision is not to copy the Masters but is a homage to them for my inspirations."

Artists like Itzchak Tarky, Wassley Kandinsky and Picasso all use and array of several colors and never or rarely work in a limited palette. So many times I hear from my collectors that they enjoy that I am diverse not only in my subjects but love my use of many colors and details. I have to attribute my use of color to the many masters that let their palette's flow and use many colors in their compositions. I have learned so much from them and enjoy honoring them in my works.

Itzchak Tarkay (born 1935) is an Austrian-born Israeli painter and watercolourist.
His art is influenced by French Impressionism, and Post Impressionism, particularly Matisse and Toulouse-Lautrec . His work was exhibited at the International Art Expo in New York in 1986 and 1987, and he has been the subject of three books. Family Itzchack Tarkay married Bruria Tarkay, and has two sons, Adi and Itay Tarkay. Itay Tarkay has 3 children, Omer and Ilay Tarkay, while Adi has 3 kids, 2 from his first marriage and one from his 2nd. (Danielle, Yarden, Tair Tarkay). Itzchack Tarkay is a loving grandparent and father, having a pretty large family.

Free Money in The Pocono's

I have been wanting to do a painting about this subject to post with these photos but I just don't have the time. I decided to do a post about it to keep my blog rolling.

I think this is very interesting. My husband Dominic was shopping one day and as he approached our SUV he saw a woman drop a bunch of change on the ground outside of her car. She just looked at it, shrugged her shoulders and got in her car and left without picking it up.

Dominic went over and picked it up off the ground and there was $1.84 all together. He found it amazing that it didn't mean enough to her to bend over and pick up her own money. Ok, $1.84 is not going to make anyone rich but still, it's "money"! Especially in this economy when every penny counts. I bet there are people out there that "wish" they had $1.84 to get a little something to eat!

So...Dominic made this a little project for himself. Since he does "all" of the shopping for our household and is in many stores weekly, he decided to start looking down....in the stores, parking lots, drive through, restaurants, gas stations, Walmart, Post Office, etc.

Every day he would come home with a handful of change that he stored in his little wood box. He did this project for 4 months before he counted all the change he found. In the end he found $99.84.
Wow, that is definitely "Found Money"!

As I said this won't make us rich but we find it quite amazing how many people do not pick up their change from the ground! We did a search on this so click the links to review.

Paloma's Boudoir, "After Paloma Picasso", by k Madison Moore

Art within Art Series

SOLD

I am having so much fun painting this series. It finally all came together after a year of thinking about how to approach this series and now the ideas are endless so there will be many more coming.

I always admired Paloma Picasso's designs and thought it would be cool to do a painting about her.

I imagined being the daughter of Pablo Picasso that she would be as colorful and extravagant  as her father in her personal taste so I thought this painting would project her personality.

It was a lot of work doing all the little details but working with so many colors is always my favorite when doing a painting.

Although Paloma designed jewelery for Tiffnay I thought it was a good idea to do the little Tiffany Lamp on the dresser to represent her with Tiffany. I have posted a video here of Paloma and some of her jewelry.

Paloma also has her own fragrance line so the black perfume bottle on the dresser is her well known design and there is a link below for you to view them. The handbag on the sofa is also a Paloma design

as well as the sunglasses and the slippers.

The photo in the frame on the dresser is a sketch that Pablo Picasso did of Paloma's mother and I thought this was a nice personal touch for this painting.

Lot's of fun doing this painting. 

Enjoy

Painting with The Masters

Exquisite Works in Oils

Anne Paloma Picasso (born 19 April 1949 in Vallauris, France) known professionally as Paloma Picasso, is a French/Spanish fashion designer and businesswoman, best known for her jewelry designs and signature perfumes. She is the youngest daughter of famed 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso and painter and writer Françoise Gilot. Paloma Picasso's older brother is Claude, her half brother is Paulo and her half sister is Maya.

Paloma literally means "dove" (or "pigeon") in Spanish. Paloma Picasso is represented in many of her father's works, such as Paloma with an Orange and Paloma in Blue.[

In 2000, Picasso, known for her bold colors and books, took her home accessories in a new direction. The once bright primary colors gave way to gray, gold, and tan. This shift was also reflected in Picasso’s personal appearance since she dispensed with the fire truck-engine-red lipstick favored by her since the age of 17.

Long before guest designers created collections for mass-market retailers and celebutantes became artistic advisors to fashion houses, Paloma Picasso began designing a line of jewelry with her name attached to it for Tiffany &Co. Eventually, she became a brand of her own, with accessories and scents and home furnishings, among other products.

SOLD

I came across and article about the Baby Grand Piano that Per Max painted in his studio. He just completed painting a Boeing Jet and another piano for Ringo Starr. I guess Peter is moving on the bigger things! 

Several collectors have been asking me for my impression of
more Peter Max so here it is.  This painting was such fun as I got
to use several wonderful brilliant colors in one composition and as
you know this always makes me happy! I think this is one of the
reasons I adore Peter Max.

Many of the elements in this painting are from snip it's from
Peter Max's work 

but with many changes since he is a living artist.

The wallpaper and carpet are from PM's paintings, the little
pillow on the
chair, the man standing in the rain with his umbrella in the window, the
vase of flowers and of course the piano are all Peter Max.

I  think it makes a great homage to him for his wonderful brave work!
