“Skies of Plenty” by Margaret Fischer Dukeman. Wide open spaces in Iowa fed Margaret’s creativity growing up. Feeling the energy of the big skies, massive blowing winds and the bending of crops over the rolling hills drew her to landscapes, and thankfully for us, she’s never looked back! Coming from generations of farmers for whom land is sacred, her need to be one with the land runs deep. Be sure to check out her work on Discovery and @margaretdukemanart. - - - - - #artworkarchiveartist #originalart #artworkarchive #landscape #landscapeart #landscapepainting #margaretdukeman #irishamericanartist #colorfulart #skyart #blueskies #tranquilart #oilpainting #oilonboard #workingartist #artinventory #artbusiness #artbiz
To interpret the symbols in Asandra Lamb’s representational work, she says one must use cognitive powers based on intuition rather than analysis or logic. As art is considered to be subjective, so too is the capacity to translate a symbolic language such as that experienced in dreams. In other words, we innately understand its meaning without having to be literal.

“Chasing Shadows No. 1” by Curtis Taylor. Intrigued by tenuous relationships and the satisfaction they can produce, Curtis strives to visually capture those relationships by creating slightly awkward or off balanced compositions using nonreferential, abstracted shapes. He views these compositions as a metaphor for life; nothing fits perfectly but a fragile balance can be found.

“Whenever I go anywhere, I see paintings in just about everything I look at, and I often wonder how seeing life as a ‘beautiful painting’ and then actually painting it has become so ingrained into who I am,” says artist Barbara Ryan. In her small painting “Mountain Top,” the stunning colors come alive with texture and movement in this view looking west into the Blue Ridge Mountain range. The impressionist brushstrokes convey the feeling of joy that is felt when you finally reach the top after a long hike up!

“I tend to seek the raw and instinctive path,” says painter, performance artist, and dance therapist Tina Berendsohn. “The human figure with its gestures, human emotion and relationships is my strongest inspiration. Working as a dancer and therapist refined my perception of physical expression, sensing the emotion and the potential behind movements and gestures.” Check out “Sitting With It” and more from our Featured Artist of the Week on Discovery and by following @nightblueart. - - - - - #artworkarchiveartist #originalart #artworkarchive #contemporaryart #expressiveart #figurativeart #contemporaryartist #calledtobecreative #figurativepainting #acrylicpainting #colorfulart #workingartist #artinventory #artbusiness #artbiz
