Today I'm busy trying to make sure I have all the elements in order for my workshop in Greenville tomorrow! (There is still time to join-see here!) So I'll leave you for the weekend with the incredible paintings of Anne Siems. I fell in love with her work years ago when her works on paper were featured in New American Paintings. Her paintings have evolved in the years since then...here is a small snapshot of the progression. Visit her website for a more complete view with additional detail shots (her details are exquisite!) xo

wow she is great!
ReplyDeleteI love the textures and attention to detail, she reminds me of an early Dali but with darker tones mixed with a touch of Frida Kohl. Very Inspiring!
