"Team A+J"  made this wonderful video showcasing my art work.  I am a bit camera shy, but they made me comfortable being filmed.  The video shows my art storage building which holds 50 years of art works.  They also filmed my studio and some of our country property.  A-ron and Jennifer are friendly and positive people.  I enjoyed spending time with them.

I dont know what to say about her.  Read her face.  I dont know what to call the style of her face.  Maybe it is pOp style, but the image is too serious for pOp.  There are flat shapes of color on her face, defining her structure.  

Most of my art lately has been digital.  I still work with actual paints occasionally.  In these two pictures, you can see that I have used the same face with different surrounds.  I have also used the flower border in other pictures.  

The different digital elements can be reused many times.  I work hard on the elements.  Maybe it took me a week to make the face.  A week on the flowers.  Combine various elements. Some more time to make several variations.  Then I choose my faves from the variations to convert to print and web ready files.  

My three Egrets have flown into several pictures.  I need to make some more before they get worn out.  

I post to this blog.  I post to Saatchi Art, where the art may be purchased.  I have a Janet Boyd Art page on Face Book.  Occasionally I post on the Pinterest platform.

ELISE (220707)

 ELISE (#220707)

I am a woman with spiritual leanings.  I create beautiful women with layers of meaning.  The figures are not only beautiful in body, but I also hope to convey a depth of spirit.  I want to show my idealistic dreams of feminine existence, of being an excellent female earthling.  

The background pattern, with a network of energetic lines forming circles, relates to the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.  The figure is impressionistic style, the head dress is rather art deco, and the egrets are realistic.  I like a mixture of styles.

This image was created in photoshop, a program that I have been using since the late 90's.  The art is available as a fine art print on Saatchi Art.  If you would like to commission a giclee, or an NFT, or an acrylic painting then message me.  lunazure101@gmail.com

The colors are rich and harmonious.  It will make a dramatic accent piece in your home.  I think that it will give you inspiration and pleasure for many years.

DISIREY WITH FLOWERS

This is a recently completed series.  A beautiful woman with her head in the clouds, but you can tell by her compelling eyes, that she is not an air head.  These are digital, photoshop creations that make wonderful prints and I might use them as guides for acrylic or oil on canvas or paper.  

One of the cool things about photoshop is that you can reuse elements in different pictures.  I used the same face in three different iterations.  I have used two of the egrets in other pictures and created a new egret, the one folding her wings in flying motion.  The flowers are also recently created.  I will most likely use them again.  

It is rather difficult for me to write about my art work, because it is visual not verbal.  For me there is work in converting the visual to the verbal.  I really love these pictures.  I am pleased with myself that I have developed art skills over many decades.  I aim for beauty.  The beauty of harmonious rich color. I aim for depth, for layers of meaning.  I want to create pictures worth a thousand words.  

Maybe, these images are about transcending the toe stubbing on a rock pains, that often leave us hopping around and groaning.  Maybe, I paint in order to distract my self.  To give myself an activity that gives me pleasure and lightens the heavy loads of life.  I also want to communicate my inner desires (Deisrey) for harmony with other Earthlings..  

I want to make images that give YOU pleasure and depth over the long haul.  Images where you can find joy and meaning whenever you look at them over a period of time.
