Painters festival

Today I applied for a spot in this years Painters festival Montmartre in Sellingen, Groningen. This is a large arts fair that consists of both amateur and professional artists showing and selling their work to the public. The focus is mainly on painting, but all kinds of arts and crafts are represented. The festival will be held on the 11th of july, in and around the village green in the picturesque village of Sellingen. Here is a link to the website (only in dutch unfortunately). There is also an auction to benefit the organisation of the festival, where you can pick up genuine artworks at bargain prices. If you wish to have more information you can always contact me. I look forward to seeing you there!

You burn too brightly

You burn too brightly

Sometimes the heat gets too much to bear, but still you stare transfixed.

...and they were all yellow

Valerio

This image was conceived as cover art for a birthday CD for my brother. In this portrait I fell in love with the colour yellow. The picture was taken by Dixy Sormani in Sevilla. Originally there was a yellow tile background, but the end product is more like the brilliant swirling mass of the sun. The 'angel' in the bottom right was drawn by my niece, so actually it's a family effort.

Jupiter rising

Lips ablaze with fiery kisses
Jupiter rising from the dark side of the sky
swirling mists, clouds of mystery beyond
on the threshold of discovery...

Triptych in Blue

So it's self-portrait time again. But what do you do when your webcam takes horribly low-resolution images and blurs your features? Just go wild with textures and colour shifts! the blue background suggested itself as I was tweaking the colours and I decided to go with it, it also sets of my skin tone (which is a pale white in reality).
