Art of Seduction

I love paintings, art amazes me. Starting out with a blank canvas and turning it into something alive. When I was a little one and home from school for whatever reason, I would watch artist Bob Ross with his fab hair and crazy skills paint "a happy little tree" and turn a white page into layers of nature. My Dad is also a beautiful painter, a talent that runs in his family. It bypassed me, but I can create a mean handbag sketch!

I am drawn to the aspect of how personal art is, personal to the artist creating it of course, but personal in how it speaks to the viewer, how we see it. And I think a strong reaction in any direction to a piece is what seduces you, pulls you in, and makes it so interesting. Some of my favorite artists and/or works...
