Artist Friday

Happy Friday!

What a very, very, very, loooong week!  I am glad to finally have two days to do homework, sleep late, watch t.v. with my sweetie, and maybe take some naps!

I am highlighting an amazing artist today who I am very excited about.

Her name is Liz Wolfe and she is a conceptual photographer who is living and working in Toronto, Canada.

She has no artist statement available on her website, but from my own perception she uses everyday objects and items, manipulating them and making the viewer look  and see in new and exciting ways.
Sugar Hills
Yellow Shoes and Sardines
Popsicle/Cupcakes
Red Shoes/Tampon
Lollipop Garden
Carrots/Peppers
Distorted Cones
I think her work is so interesting.  I love how everything is in bright and happy colors but that conceptually when you look closer there is something a little off.

Sort of like life sometimes, right?

Look tomorrow for the end pictures of my chalkboard glass tutorial!

Lots of love,

Jess

Happy New Year and Jean Francois De Witte Photographs

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy night last night.  I am a little ashamed to report that I fell asleep around 9:15 pm last night!  However Meridyth and I had a lovely time at her mother's with my soon to be sister and brother in-law.

We ate dinner and had chocolate fondue for dessert which was absolutely fantastic!  It makes me want to find the fondue pot my sister gave me four years ago that we have never used!

So, I was searching around the web today and I came across some great photographs by a photographer I had never heard of before. 

I like these pictures because not only does he use everyday objects, but there is nothing deep or serious to them.  They are light and playful, whimsical, and fun.

I love that I can always find new and different images that match my mood.

All of these photographs are by Jean Francois De Witte, click on link to see original article.





This one is my favorite of the bunch!
Happy New Year again everyone!  Until tomorrow.

love,

Jess
