Five More Cool Artists

I admire artists that create using individual style and unique subject matter. I wish I was an collector. I would fill my home with these paintings.

Painting by Phil Noto. Comic book artist who paints interesting originals of women.

A few years back I discover Aya Uekawa in an art magazine. Title of article was "5 Artists to Watch". Uekawa uses the high realism of Dutch & Flemish Renaissance paintings with portraits of young women, often in states of dreamy transformation, straddling reality and fantasy.

French Artist, René GRUAU loves women. With great humour, he defines Glamour and Sensuality by revealing the feminine universe – made of luxury, frivolity, futility and narcissism – as the most natural thing in the world…

Belinda Eaton is a British artist whose magic realism paintings and portraits evoke a world of colour, vivid characters, swirling spaces, uncontained energy that can’t be trapped by the limits of the canvas, images constantly on the move, living life, dancing, drinking, and eating. Within the canvas there are no boundaries of subject, perspective or reality, just the borrowings from all that she has been exposed to.

Emily Burns art is a bit bizarre but I love photo realism and of course, weird subject matter.  A photo is actually taken of a woman with spaghettiOs all over her face. love it!

Footstool gets a Makeover

Bought this little footstool for $3.00 and gave it a makeover.

Yikes! This little stool was not my style but had cute bones. Went through my big bag-o-fabric and came up with black/white cheetah print.

I removed feet and studded band, grabbed my handy dandy staple gun and stapled over old upholstery fabric.

Looks better already.

Spray painted feet black but I think white would look great too. Screwed feet back on and here is the completed makeover.

I would have to say, entire project took 30 minutes not including paint drying time. Yeah! the stool matches my chair.

This job took longer then 30 minutes.
