Every once in a while, I come across an artist who simply amazes me. I mean--amazes me. And I'm left stunned. Today's artist, Ali Cavanaugh, has done just this--left me (almost) speechless. First, she's obviously completely obsessed with her subject matter, which I love, because it shows true dedication to an artistic cause, or to depicting one thing from multiple viewpoints. And second, because her process is so amazing--she's coined the term "new fresco secco" to describe her method, which involves applying watercolor to plaster panels. So yeah, the paintings below are watercolor. Amazing, right?? Take a look at a few of her delicate, quiet, and yet captivating paintings below: Pretty incredible, don't you think? I love the socks over the hands and the use of light (I especially love her use of light). Doesn't this make you want you to just pull some argyle socks over your arms and head out for the day?
If only you could do yoga with tall socks on your arms...oh wait, that's what arm warmers are for ;) You can view more of Cavanaugh's amazing work on her website/blog, here. Namaste! Mary Catherine Comments are closed.
