My new drawing

I love your artwork, Scarlet. They are very vibrant! Thank you for sharing and glad that you are able to start creating for yourself again.
 
Those first three images are fantastic. I like the, well, what is for me, spread your wings sort of message it makes me feel while looking at them. Thanks for sharing them, they're beautiful!
 
Thank you for making the effort to review my work and provide me with this feedback. :) Your remarks here are very inspirational to me. These responses reinforce the intuitions I've had about the directions my work should take since I began detaching from the creative standards set by my family, former professors and the art world in general. :grad:
 
Really beautiful artwork Scarlet. :)

I imagined blowing them up and having each one on a different wall of the exterior of my house... dont think my landlord would go for it though... he he....

Your creations remind me of so much... but I really thought of them being everywhere on the urban landscape... our cities would be so nice with beautiful pieces like that around...

Look forward to seeing more. :)
 
These are some wonderful pieces Scarlet. The last one you posted made me kind of sad, because seeing people truly enjoy life for what it is, is rare. The picture for me, represents an ideal world, or what life could be.

Thanks Brunauld! I respond well to bright colors and am the one refraining from wearing black to funerals..:)

Wow, this is such a cool thought to have and I never imagined my work displayed in such a way! You are a creative thinker and IMO, it's too bad there is so much red tape out there to restrict it!

Hi Drea, I must say your comment makes me very giggly, because an idealized setting is exactly what I was going for with that drawing! My friend gave me about ten photographs of her family looking cheerful and I worked directly off of them here. The drawing was not fun for me to create and I was in a constant struggle trying to figure out how I would harmonize all those figures with the radiating sunset background I felt like creating. My friend wanted the figures to be certain colors and I became frustrated with that.

In the end, I decided to smear a blender colored pencil (imagine a clear colored pencil) all over the figures but in the direction of the lines that are radiating out of the sun in an effort of achieving harmony between the figures and the background. Basically, I smudged up their details, distorting the emphasis of idealism that I had originally been intending, but I recognized that I had already thrown on bright colors (ie. warm colors) in energetic ways (ie. diagonal lines) to the point where this drawing is dripping with enough sappy sweetness already. I now see that someone has already responded to the drawing in the deceitful way I had intended it to be viewed, NICE!! :evil: This is how propaganda art is effective on the masses. I'm so glad I get to teach and don't have to make art based on lies and distortions just to get by. There is so much of it out there, you know?

Well, thanks again for the feedback here, everyone!! :)
 
I feel like the bright colors and patterns brighten something up inside me. Thanks! A good note to end my day on before sleeping! ;)
 
These are really beautiful, thanks for sharing Scarlet! :)

I love how your drawings feel very energetic because of the bright colors and peaceful at the same time through the symmetrical designs. I especially like the 'Spirit Traveller' one.
 
Gee, Scarlet, these are beautiful! You have a great gift for illustrating harmony and celestial color. It makes me happy to just look at them. Are you familiar with Paul Laffoley's paintings? Very otherwordly too. It's the modern use of mandalas that reminds me to think of that.I think my eyeballs are color saturated now. :lol: It's always a pleasure to greet another artist.
 
Thank you all so very much for these supportive comments! I find them extremely inspirational! I don't share my artwork with the "public" these days other than on my "private" Facebook page and the Creative Acts section of this forum, so this feedback is most appreciated!!

It makes me feel so warm inside to read that my creations have brightened something inside of you, HowToBe! I hoped they would affect others this way when I created them and I am very pleased to see that I met my goal!

Thank you, Rose, for telling me you respond well to the colors and symmetry. For some reason I have been drawn to symmetrical designs, maybe because they make me feel more balanced, lol.

In response to your question, NewOrleans, I have heard of Paul Laffoley and that man's work is mind-blowing! For readers who haven't seen Laffoley's work, here is a link to his website: _http://paullaffoley.net/paullaffoley/ Also, here is a video of him explaining one of his creations and the thought process he goes through is astounding: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnerY88WAuc&feature=related
