Love This! Up Close & Personal Neon Portraits

12/4/2013

Oh, the colors! The colors! THE COLORS!!!

Some artists just aren't afraid to use color, and today's featured painter, Patricia Derks, is one of those ladies.

I mean, neon lips? Blue and green hair? Flashes of electric pink highlighting eyebrows and cheekbones? I simply love it.

Derks is a Dutch painter who I came across on my favorite art blog, The Jealous Curator, and my first thought was, Woah, you've got to have some serious guts to use those hues--and the confidence that you can pull it off.

And pull it off, she does. With flying colors. [See what I did there?]

Lets take a look at some of my favorite pieces by the fabulous Ms. Derks...

Love. Me. Some. Boldness. If you, too, adore Patricia Derks' work, you can view more on her website.

I hope these paintings brightened your [winter] day!

Nothing like a little neon to wake you up ;)
