Hello Dear Art Lover Curiosity Killed The Cat....Just Kidding
It is a long anticipated beautiful sunny day here in Toronto. I am lucky enough to be able to hit the trails with my daughter this afternoon. Checking the forecast in my hometown of Thunder Bay, I see it is even warmer there. Did you know it is the sunshine capital of Canada? Of course you did!
People always ask how I come up with my inspiration and I answer it is because of my curiosity. Some say 'Curiosity killed the cat' but I know that being curious (or nosy) feeds my imagination. Artists have inquiring minds. We notice things like the patterns of shadows and reflections in water. I'm sure you do also.
Speaking of curiosity, you are probably familiar with Rube Goldberg. I was reminded of his cartoons that feature convoluted gadgets that perform simple tasks when I was researching my weekly Tuesday Fun Monster Drawing on Facebook Live. Draw along with me as I create some fantastical being on my FB page Gail Williams. If you want to have a laugh, check out the Rube Goldberg machine in the youtube, OK Go-This Too Shall Pass.
The paintings I have attached are 2 of 12 pieces that I am making for #artistsupportpledgecanada. How this works is that I sell some work for less than $400 each,and when I have sold $2000 worth of art, I pledge to buy another artist's work. So it's a win-win for the art community .These are 14in x 17in works on heavy paper, unframed. I am offering them to you first before I release them to the general public. The price is $200 (regular price is $300). Send me an email to get your's.
If you want to see what I've been up to, please check my Facebook Live on Fridays at 1pm where I feature my PAINTING OF THE WEEK. A virtual artist talk every week.
And last but not least, the WINNER of my original art is Judith. Congratulations!!!
Rock on,
YOUR HOME YOUR STYLE MY ART
Gail
