Painting by Mark Bradford,Photo taken from here
As you all know by now if you have been coming to my blog very often, I am obsessed with art.
Making it, looking at it, reading about it, and thinking about. I know a few people who I love very much, who do not care at all about art and I am always amazed by this, I could not live without it! I thought I would share with you my number one favorite contemporary artist: Mark Bradford, also go here to see more paintings. Mark works very large and uses all manner of things to make his collage/paintings with, his paintings always inspire me and move me beyond words to describe. His story also inspires me as he was once poor and worked at his mom's beauty salon doing hair. Now his paintings fetch up to 250,000! It could not have happened to a more lovely artist. I hope you enjoy and are moved as much as I am by his work. Happy Sunday! I am off to hike and work on my own humble painting. XOXO
