Dots, ceramics

 

Hello!

 

Today is a day full of possibilities for me:

no appointments, no musts or whatsoever

 

the only thing I have to do is finding inspiration for my new painting

which will have to be: WATER (in the broadest sense)

 

So despite limiting myself ref. surfing time on the www, I had to go there and (like often) came across some eyecandy, oh boy..!

 

 

As you may know I love many things, materials, colors though of course I have my favorites... During my creative life there have been many questions from friends to participate in all kind of workshops (with different materials). Mostly I refused. Not because I did not want to try, on the contrary, it was more the fear that I could get hooked and would develop yet another passion...

 

Nowadays we have the luxury of being able to enjoy a myriad of art and/or decoration without going to a museum or participating in workshops. That luxury (I really feel it as such) brought the images in this post.

The above pottery is of Christina Guwang, a French ceramics artist, she makes the most fantastic 'bols'. I just love the simplicity, the neutral color scheme and of course the dots!

 

 

this ceramic piece is of Alan Wallwork, a British potter

The rhythm of the dotted pattern makes my heart sing...I just get happy of looking at it. I have tried to analyse this phenomenon but until today did not succeed to explain why, what it is that exactly makes it a feast to look at. Must be something psychological, I don't even know whether I want to know, haha

 

Last but not least this picture

 

 

my favorites are:

nr 3 top row, 1 and 2 middle, and 3 bottom

This is students work of the MIT in Cambridge, USA

 

These patterns could be sewn on my Pfaff machine one day!

 

 

So far my eyecandy for today. Gonna use my possibilities, see you!
