Special Mother's Day Artist Features!

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 11:06 AM
journal Header 1

I am excited to introduce you to this week's features! As you all probably know by now, I love colors! Bright, bold colors. This week I decided to celebrate Mother's day by featuring two amazing pastel artists who use just such colors to produce their beautiful artwork. However, this week I'm only featuring their flower artwork, so all you mother's out there can drool over their beauty and perfection.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHER'S OUT THERE!!!! :hug:

There is a wonderful artist, who has only been on DA for six months BTW, whom you have all just GOT to meet!! She is an awesome artist and her paintings are to die for! :eyepopping: WOWZERS!!! When I grow up, I want to paint just like her. :D Boy, what I would give to be able to produce pastel paintings like hers. *sigh*

You have absolutely GOT to check out her gallery!! You will find yourself awestruck with the quality of her work, I promise! You will come away feeling very inspired. Here's just a taste of what you'll find in her gallery:

Pili is an incredible pastel artist! She does every kind if subject, and all equally well! her artwork is just gorgeous and breathtaking. Pili is another artist whose work I closely scrutinize and examine to see what I can learn from it. She will absolutely inspire all of you, no matter what kind of art you produce. Her gallery is a must see! It will blow you away!! :jawdrop:

You will find that Pili uses brilliant colors and has an very realistic style. Her portraits and drapery are stunning as well. Yet another gallery that will inspire you to no end! :D

All right everyone, now that you're sufficiently inspired, get out there and create some fabulous art!!!
