I have decided to participate in Fine Art Friday. I have seen Donna do it, and I guess I really am a joiner.
This week I have chosen Jackson Pollock.
I will do all of the art that I have actually seen in person because I think that is more interesting. I first saw Jackson Pollock's work at the Museum of Modern Art. I fell in love at first sight. Something about the texture of the paint and the randomness of the design spoke to me. I like art that makes me think about what the artist could have been feeling when they created the piece.
As a linear thinking person, I admire his ability of create from an organic state. To let creativity and freedom replace the constraints of "typical" art.
If I could afford it, I would fill my home with original works of art. Maybe I should flip the couch, there's always spare change in there.
Next week I am going to unveil the new blog and new name. I know all two of you are holding your breath with anticipation. yuck-yuck.

Yay for the fine art Friday.
Did you see the Jackson Pollock movie?
The one about the old lady who found a J.P. painting?
I can't wait to see the new title to your blog.
I really have been wracking (sp?) my little brain and just can't come up with something funny with Running in it.....
I am SO glad you are back. Looking forward to the new name and blog!
No, Donna, I didn't see that one. I did see the one with Ed Harris and loved it, though.
Thanks, Cara!
Laney! I've missed your blog and am really looking forward to you blogging again.
Good to see you back!
I love Pollock too. I have been playing with acrylic paints and studying his techniques- there is a lot more to his work than just drizzled paint!
Also, I like Run, Mother, Run. for your blog title, too.
