A New Art Form

Flash Mob is a new art form. If you are not sure what Flash Mob is read on and watch the video below.
A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire.


Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. 


The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics, and even disciplines such as history and psychology analyze its relationship with humans and generations.

Primary Colors

What are the Primary Colors? Red , Yellow, Blue are the Primary Colors. Primary colors are important in art because when mixed together they can produce every other color in the world (with a little white or black added as well). 

THE BASIC PAINTS:  Limited three color palette.   This is a “dead color”  (black) group.  (I’m choosing to go for very unsaturated.}

1. raw sienna  or yellow ochre for yellow

2. burnt sienna or Indian Red for red

3. French Ultramarine Blue or Cobalt Blue for blue.  If you were working in oil, you could use black because in dilution with white and in the right context it will read as blue.Some black are green when mixed.

If you try this palette send me the painting and I will post it to the blog or put a link to your blog in the comments.

Impasto with a pallet knife

Delilah Smith

A small Pallet knife painting a did recently. This painting is available at my web site Delilah Smith.>Painting with a knife is a bit like putting butter or jam on bread and produces quite a different result to a brush. Painting knives are excellent for producing textured, impastowork and sweeping areas of flat color as well as tiny shapes of color.

Today's daily painting is done with a brush on canvas. This is one of my small daily paintings.

How to Add a Light Bridge to your Painting

Light bridges add interest your art work.You can achieve this by eliminating the outside edge by dragging two wet layers of paint, the light and the shadow together and blend their edges. Also the far edge of an object also can be removed as a place of focus by lightening the background where the edge and background meet.

Edges on the lighted side do not start darker. When light hits a surface it is as lit up at the edges as it is inside.

A soft edge shows continuity, the softer the edge the duller the look, a hard edge shows ending. The harder the edge the from riveting your painting is in that area.

Art on The Rocks

Got Beaches

5x7

I have been so busy in my studio for the past few weeks getting ready for my next art show Art on the Rocks. in Marquette Michigan. I haven't been doing to many art shows lately because I prefer galleries and on line marketing but if you have ever been to Marquette Michigan it is worth doing the show just to be by Lake Superior. I hope to do some paintings while I am there and take lots of pictures.

July 30 & 31, 2011

Mattson Lower Harbor Park

Located near the waters of Lake Superior just seconds from downtown Marquette. Enjoy the 53rd Annual Art On The Rocks at Mattson Lower Harbor Park on July 30 & 31, 2011

Business Card for Art Prize

Business cards are always a must for Artist.

I would expect that most artists have a business card with current contact information and the very important web address and email. As ramp up all my marketing efforts for ArtPrize 2011 business cards are at the top of my list. For many artist, this event is about more than making the top ten or the grand prize; it is an opportunity to expose your work to a new audience.

That is how I am looking at ArtPrize, a way to show what a daily painter can do in 365 days.

Does your the card also have an image of current artwork? Mine always do. I'm not sure what to do for ArtPrize: one large image of a painting, several images or something that shows the whole exhibition that I am planing.

That quick view, even though small in size, can have a big impact on a brief encounter where cards might be the only things that helps a visitor remember your work after viewing 1582 other artist. I know I was on overload by the end of the first day when I went to view ArtPrize 2010 last year to see if was anything I wanted to do in the future. The amount of really good art and the variety was over the top.

I suspect, though, that with so much promotion being done online today that the business card doesn't get used as much as it should. I still like business cards. I like it when I have something in my hand from the artist or gallery, it always makes an impact on me.

I always get my business cards from Vista Prints and have been satisfied with them. You can download your artwork and they can print on both sides you can have a picture of your artwork on the front and contact information on the back. They have a high gloss card style that I prefer, it really shows off your artwork. The photo at the top is some of the business cards I have used in the past. some have the information printed over my painting, then I use the back to write on. The bottom one is a free card available at vista prints I use it with my aceo sales it is about the same size as the art so it is a great fit in the little bag card. I spoke to an artist last year that by the 4th day had give out 4,000 business cards. It I do it right maybe I will be remember,

maybe it will help me not to get lost in this crowd of the best of the best.

1,582 artists from 36 countries and 43 states will show their work in 164 venues within three-square miles of downtown Grand Rapids, Mich. Each artist will compete for the world’s largest prize for art, which will take place Sept. 21-Oct. 9, 2011. Participating artists and venues can all be viewed on the Artist List.

The Trials of the Artist

Delilah Smith

You would think that painting the small daily paintings for Art Prize would be challenge enough but getting ready for it is even more of a challenge.

Robin said...

AWESOME! So only 260 of your paintings--does that mean the others sold??

To answer Robin's Questions: My original proposal was to have 365 painting on display at art prize, a year of daily painting. The display would have been 20 feet long and 5 feet high. With 1582 Artist participating in this even obtain a venue to display my work became problematic.

There was lots of out side space available like the lovely Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park .

A large wall for display was limited.Part of what make ArtPrize so interesting is that the art is displayed in building through out the town. If you think you are going to make a quick trip to Grand Rapids and see it all in a Day you will need to put on your running shoes.

I had lots of sorry we would love to have your work but do not have enough wall space for it. So I had to get creative think outside the box and take a leap of faith that I could do what I purpose with a small tweak in the exhibition plan.

I change the proposal to display on a free standing 10 feet long display where the small painting would be displayed on both sides. I changed the number to 260 leaving out weekends and helping to downsize the display.

As an artist you must be flexible an able to change as needed, if at all possible. It also helped for the sold paintings which I have been painting extras for sold works and I am still painting. If you follow my daily painters blog, Painting of the Day, you will see many of the paintings that have been painted since September 2010 through September 2011 at the show. All paintings will be in 5x7, 7x5 size like you see ,at the top of today's post. The paintings will be painted in oils, if you follow my Art on Paper blog none of those works will be displayed. There will be 260 of them. There are eight paintings shown at the top of today's post so take 32 times it and you get an idea of the size of this project. I will see you at ArtPrize 2011 God willing and the artist stays healthy.

ArtPrize, 2011

Delilah Smith

A Few of my Daily Paintings

Well, it is official I am in Art Prize 2011. Securing a venue was difficult. I had gone to Art Prize 2010 and it was wonderful. I knew at once that I wanted to be part of this art happening. I had started planing in September 2010 for the show. What would I show? How would I display it? I decided on my daily paintings. So my display is a year in the life of a daily painter with 260 of my small daily paintings. I will keep you updated as I get ready for the show. Count Down 78 days until ArtPrize Starts.

ArtPrize 2011: September 21 - October 9
ArtPrize® is a radically open competition. Open to any artist in the world who can find space. Open to anybody in Grand Rapids, Michigan who wants to create a venue. Open to a vote from anyone who attends.

Are you the Artistic Type

I subscribe to Robert Glenn's twice weekly letter. It just pops into my email and it is always a joy to read. I found today's letter very interesting. Read on and take the little quiz at the bottom.

The school of life
June 24, 2011

Dear Artist,

Every year about 900,000 North Americans buy brushes and paints for the first time. Every year, often after a prolonged bout of frustration, about 800,000 folks decide painting is not their thing. These figures are confirmed by the statistics of artists' colourmen and art materials stores. Apparently, at any given time, three percent of the population is trying to paint.

On the surface, painting looks easy, offers mounds of personal satisfaction and has the potential of big bucks. But then again, so does golf. And we all know that golf makes grown men cry.

When closely examined, high-aimed painting is difficult, loaded with disappointment and the dubious benefits of poverty.

My basic idea is that pretty well all motivated persons can become realized painters. But it's a tricky, deceptive path with lots of sink-holes. Certain personality types, in my observation, have a better chance than others. To test yourself against my findings, give yourself a score of one to ten on the following twelve items. You don't have to score well on all. Out of a possible score of 120, if your score is over 70 you'll be a likely candidate for a life in art.

*curious

*philosophical

*passionate

*energetic

*obsessive-compulsive

*self-motivated, entrepreneurial

*loner, non-joiner, outsider

*hard worker

*patient

*exhibitionistic

*egoistic

*individualistic, resistant to prior programming

The personality traits listed above all sidestep the possibilities of innate talent. Curiously, many with loads of talent don't make it. Talent only completes the equation. While many may have some primal facility in drawing, color or composition, talent may be more the combination of some of those twelve personality traits. In the words of Louis Armstrong, "If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out."

Our main job in life is to try to find out what we're good for. Life is a school. We keep taking tests. If we pass a test, we move on. If we fail a test, sooner or later we are given the test again. Failing or succeeding, wise artists know themselves and quickly move through the tests. In art, it takes a lifetime of moving through the tests. Fact is, they never stop coming.

Best regards,

Robert

How did you do? Do you have any of these traits? I'm afraid I have all of them, so it's paint on for me. Now go make great art!

Go make great Art

Wash Me

or..... Lets Make Art!

THIS is SCOTT WADE. Check out what he does with the dirty cars by carefully and artfully removing portions of the dirt. According to his web site, he lives real close to a dirt road in San Marcos , Texas ....




Playing in the dirt has never been more fun. Making art should be about having fun and exploring. Scott has the the right idea, you make have to get a little dirty but what the heck. Like the farmer says" If you wrestle with a pig you both get dirty but the pig really likes it."

Now go make some great art.

Friends helping friends.

Delilah Smith

I got this email from a friend of mine Kimberly Conrad,

Here is what she had to say. I have her permission to post this and it sounded so interesting I thought I would try to support her.

Friends & Fellow Artists:

There are a few things weighing heavily on my mind, and I have decided to open up my life, heart, and expose my fragile pride in an attempt to possibly convince you to join with me, or at the very least, send your creative witty thoughts and pearls of wisdom. Please read this entire email, as I will tie up the loose ends and issue a challenge.

First....I seem to be struggling in the creative energy arena…painting suddenly seems like torture....probably due in part to the slight depression from knowing that come August , 3 of my four sons will have left the nest.

Second, are the friends, family members and fellow artists currently fighting breast cancer.Those who know me well know that I have lost 2 dear friends in the past 18 months to this disease. I have an Art for the Cure site where I sell pink art and donate as well as participate in multiple fundraisers benefiting breast cancer research and the breast cancer community.

The third thing weighing heavily on my mind and heart, as well as my knees, ankles and feet, are the extra 45 lbs that I am currently carrying on my 5 foot 5 inch frame.
I cannot believe I am actually publicizing the #, but to those who see me on a regular basis, it is certainly no surprise. Thank you though, for always making me feel as if I’m STILL the DIVA I like to think I was a few years ago!!!!
I need a new challenge….

So….here is the plan…….

Operation 47, Mission #1

I will lose 47 lbs by my 47th birthday, which is November 15th. Just under 5 months, so that is about 10 lbs a month, 2.5 lbs a week…certainly doable, most would agree, yet success has eluded me thus far. I know the hot new phrase is “Fabulous at 50”, it’s on the cover of every magazine, but I cannot wait 3 more years just because it sounds cooler!!

Mission # 2
I will paint 47 new paintings that I will sell for $47.00. each.

Mission # 3
I will donate $4.70 of each of those sales to one of the Breast Cancer foundations I currently support.

I will post my food, exercise, and paintings on my blog each day…..and open up the
comment option….so that you can leave those “pearls of wisdom”, etc.

I would love for you to join me…..by pledging to do whatever it is that you think would benefit you to do for 47 days……47 hours, 47 times….the sky is the limit, it could be as serious as 47 days of a new exercise program, not smoking, painting 47 pieces on a particular subject, or something fun like smiling 47 times in a day, or collecting 47 new whatever it is that you collect…..I don’t care what it is….but would love to hear about it…….and would love for you to share that journey with me…as I share mine with you…so log on and share at the bottom of the post where you see the little pencil!! Let's turn Operation 47 into CLUB 47!!

Just in case your first thought is "get rich quick scheme”…I have to buy paint, paper, board or canvas, an envelope for shipping, pay for shipping, and pay uncle Sam sales tax….all out of the remaining $42.30….So , you can clearly see it’s not about the $$$$, but about all the ways I can think of to stay focused on the # 47 long enough to reach my goal, raise a little $$$ for my favorite cause, give everyone the opportunity to be able to afford an original piece of art, and possibly spread a little motivation and encouragement to those who need it, in a creative way.

Visit my blog at http://kimberlyconraddailypaintings.blospot.com
I will share my progress daily, as well as my new $47.00 painting!!
OPERATION 47 BEGINS THURSDAY, JUNE 23RD!!!


Thanks in advance for all of your support..….this could be GREAT fun, and quite motivating for all involved!!!

Kimberly Conrad

www.kimberlyconradfineart.com

I want to keep Kim on track so :

I will paint 47 watercolor and put them up for sale at $47.00, I will donate $4.70 from each sale to Hospice ( my charity of choice). And to keep Kim motivate I will exercise daily. To see how long I can keep this up visit my Art on Paper blog where I will post the new work. If you like to give Kim a "that a girl keep up the good work" or join in the fun stop in at her blog and leave a comment.

The Painting Habit

Creativity is a habit, there is no natural genius. One of the best things you can do if you want to become a better artist is get exposure to other good artist who painting in a style that you enjoy.

Creativity vs Skill: It takes skill to paint what you imagine in the middle of the night or in day dreams. Skill can be developed by practice,repetitive learning and pain staking reflection on your work. Creativity must be nurtured . Whether you paint photo realism, abstract expressionism, or something in between you must be able to build those Lego bridges between skill and creativity.

Henry David Thoreau Quotes

"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."

Daily Paintings from May

Daily painting is one of the best habits I have ever started.

This is our Memorial Day Weekend

This is a time traditionally set aside to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom.

We are free people and we can disagree about where, and
how, and when we should defend freedom, but we are only
free because brave men and women have resisted tyranny. In
honor of those who died on 9/11, and to all of those who
have sacrificed through the centuries so that we can have
our picnics and watch our races, and have our debates

We Are What We Imagine

 "We are what we imagine. 

Our very existence consists in  our imagination of ourselves.

 The greatest tragedy that  can befall us is to go unimagined."      --  N. Scott Momaday

I love all medium of art. I often take a break from oil painting to explore some of them. I keep coming back to oils ,I love the way it spread on the canvas creamy and thick or smooth and transparent. I like the way oils reflect light and the endless color combination I can make.

These are a few of my daily paintings:I like to take and make a composite of them at the end of the week.

This is one of my larger works.

Green Series

This is the second painting in my Green Series,Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye than most colors, and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world, making it an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.

High Curiosity

Twice a week I get a nice email in my in box from Robert Glen.

They are always well written, he has a way with the written word that paints color in my mind a way that I aspire to be able to write like.

Today he he waxed colorfully on the art of measuring yourself for four virtues--motivation, curiosity, work habits and ego force--you can get an idea how your own chances stack up.

Then again you might just become a roaring success by being lackadaisical, ignorant, lazy and without confidence. In the funny game we call art, it's been done. Regarding ego force, we don't always like people who have it. If you have it, and need to be liked, you ought to consider letting most of it come out the end of your brush.

"What makes people smart, curious, alert, observant, competent, confident, resourceful, persistent--is not having access to more and more learning places, resources, and specialists, but being able in their lives to do a wide variety of interesting things that matter, things that challenge their ingenuity, skill, and judgment, and that make an obvious difference in their lives and the lives of people around them."

Baby Steps

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." --Pablo Picasso

No matter what you're trying to achieve or transform in your life, my bet is that the easiest, and probably the fastest way to "get there" is to commit to a series of daily baby steps. List small, simple actions you can take in pursuit of your goals every single day. Then commit that you will do them, every day, no matter what. I think you'll like the results.This comes from Philip E Humbert's Tips for Extraordinary Living to read more visit his website.

I have started my green series. I plan to work through about 30 ideas painting them small. I then want to take 5 or 6 of these ideas and expand on them. Trying larger paintings with them.I also plan on doing at least 2 large abstracts just to make me stretch a little.Big plans but I have started the Baby steps.

This is the first in my green series of spring paintings. I added a little whimsical note by putting a small fairy in it. I hope the frog knows it's not a bug.

A little Fun in the Studio

A "paraprosdokian" is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re-frame or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax.

So for fun today I am passing this along to you.

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.


A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.


How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?


Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.


I didn’t say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.


Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?


Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.


A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.


You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.


The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!


Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.


A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.


Hospitality: making your guests feel like they’re at home, even if you wish they were.


Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.


Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.


I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.


When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.


You’re never too old to learn something stupid.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.


Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.


Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever.


A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.
