Arthur Deatly

My paintings are based on direct observation. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston; it’s buildings, bayous, highways, tree-lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I hope you can see the beauty of Houston in my Urban Landscapes. 713-305-6626 https://deatlyart.net @deatlyarthur

Even though I’m from Houston I received my BFA from Kansas City Art Institute. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. Highway byways bayous and buildings.

Hege Nolop is a Norwegian jewelry designer based in Houston, TX. Her career began in Paris, France; creating rustic pieces with vintage elements hand-picked from antique markets. Since then her work has evolved to incorporate the simplicity and elegance of her Scandinavian design roots. It features free-flowing, organic patterns, soft curves, and a strong inspiration from nature. The result is a clean, contemporary aesthetic that remains faithful to Scandinavian old-world craftsmanship.  perleamies.storenvy.com

Art is very personal to me. I put a lot of myself in my art. Whether it’s a painting, a collage, or random crafts, everything I do is very personal and an expression of how I feel at that moment in time. Through my art, I can obsess over different interests and express how I feel about the world. One of my favorite things about art is that I can edit the world the way I want to see it. There are no limits. I do a lot of watercolor and acrylic paintings. However, I also make hand-bound art journals, painted boxes, handmade bags and purses, and dread extensions. I do all sorts of arts and crafts. Personally, What makes my art different is my love for women. I try to bring out the beauty in everyone I paint and inspire women to love themselves. Sometimes a little reminder telling you’re beautiful or that everything will be okay is all you need.  Facebook Page

My work is inspired by the colors and curves of Art Nouveau, the Subconscious Dreaminess of Surrealism, Nature, Mythology, and Celestial Concepts. I mainly paint with oils on canvas or wood panel using vibrant colors and free flowing lines. Painting is a way for me to materialize my thoughts and dreams into reality. I believe all forms of art are part of a collective oneness that bind us together as humans and to nature. My goal as an artist is to bring myself out of the ordinary and to inspire others to do the same.  valerieroseart.com

Vicki Ryer & James Bird are photographers drawn to bright saturated colors and texture.  They are intrigued by how everything can take on an entirely new life when taken out of context by the click of a shutter.  An ongoing exploration of shape, shadow, color and light presents a view of the world in beautiful bold colors, often with a minimalist or abstract perspective.  All of their miniature photographs are presented as they were seen through the viewfinder and are individually printed by the photographers using archival materials, signed and numbered in editions of 100 or less.  fineartcolorphotography.com

My “Mottled Horses” – Equine art developed since 2002 in my new “Mottled” style that merges abstract and expressionism with a touch of realism. The subject is created on a colorful abstract background to express feelings, often shown as a close-up, with special attention to the eyes and focusing on specific moods and composition. Often with secondary transparent image/s to show movement or specific scenario.

 

In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to exact shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. Also, it helps me to effectively use visuals to depict a story about my subject.  My art captures just an indication of a subject to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination to create the unique picture.
