Love This! The Power of Subtlety

8/21/2013

Holy subtlety. I don't know if I've ever seen anything as delicate, as light, as soft, and yet, as clear and quietly powerful as the work of today's featured artist, Alex Hanna.

The man knows his skill set and is not afraid to use it. He has mastered the art of quiet paintings, and in my opinion, he has churned out nothing but gorgeous and successful pieces in his signature restrained, hushed tones.

I hope that in viewing them, you'll find Hanna'a paintings to be as soothing and relaxing as I do (I just want to crawl into his pink pillow paintings and take a little nap!). Now lets take a look...

Aren't they incredible? Just looking at his work makes me want to forget about color and turn my focus to the power of neutrals and soft pastels. Wow.

If you want to check out more of Hanna's work, hop on over to his website or his online portfolio (where you can buy his originals). Oh, and guess what? Hanna is a yogi, too! Yippeee! Maybe that's why his paintings have such a focused, meditative quality ;)

I hope your Wednesday is a calm and quiet one. I think we could all use a little more softness and silence in our daily lives...

Hi, Mary Catherine! So delighted to have found my way to your hoppin' website. I love this, too. It 'subtly' reminds me of one of my favorite local artists, Teresa Oaxaca. Are you familiar with her? She has a painting journal at teresaoaxaca.blogspot.com and she wears knockout dresses! I've a feeling you'll like her work, too.

Also, I'm looking to get rid of a bunch of dresses soon. Let me know if you're taking submissions to fill your 100 Dress A Day goal.

Namaste

Oh wow, she really is great, Roula! Thanks for sharing! I think I've seen her work somewhere before...?

Also, I'd love some of your dresses! Send 'em my way! I'm starting to run low :)

xoxo

Shoot! I just sent three bags of dresses to Goodwill. Had to get rid of them fast, but I there must be some left that you can maybe borrow?

You might have seen Teresa's work at Central Library a few years ago, or elsewhere in the local galleries since you're so hit to the art scene. We bought this piece from her. It features our son, and remains our favorite piece of work by her :-)

Her piece "Patrick" also blows me away!
