Whew! Being gone for over a week really takes its toll! It's taken me even longer to "come back to myself" than I anticipated. My discipline and ability to resist distractions such as babysitting my beautiful granddaughter seem to be really challenged right now. Plus--my computer acted up and kept me from being able to post pictures and update this blog.
I have been revisiting the works of Alphonse Mucha, a fabulous artist from the Art Nouveau period of art. Mucha truly defined what we recognize as Art Nouveau, creating magnificent posters, paintings, stained glass, decorative silverware, and many other objets d'art and even beautiful everyday items. His artwork on such items as soap bars and cigarettes were every bit as beautiful as his posters of famous actress Sarah Bernhardt.
I'm not sure that the small painting of the angel comes from my studies, but the idea of creating beauty certainly does. It's a study in orange and blue-green. I'm not sure the colors are yet accurate, but I really wanted to get this up!
