I LOVE the art of America Martin.
See her new show currently at Wally Workman Gallery in Austin.
If I could, I would describe to you why I am drawn to her paintings.
Her use of color, and her broad, simple strokes are magical.
Clearly they capture my love of color, and people and life... in a big way.
Beyond that, though,
it's difficult for me to put into words why certain work appeals to me.
I just respond, emotionally and visually.
I feel it.
I just know when I love a painting, a sculpture, a piece of art.
America does a much better job of describing her work here for you.
Take a minute and watch the video.
Isn't she a doll?
All photos mine, taken at Carver Hill Gallery in Rockland. Maine.

ReplyDeleteWow, America's art is so much fun! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI really like it too, particularly the first piece. Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness I've been head over heels in love with her work ever since you shared those photos from your trip to Maine last year. What is it about the paintings? The large hands? The facial expressions? The bold lines? Her work is so strong -- almost brings me to tears! thanks for another look :)

I'm always so glad when you talk about art, Ann. Love this!
ReplyDeleteIts the details of our lives I think that in some respects make the impact. Its only once in a while the big picture matters. I loves these photos of the details.
