Many of my recent paintings belong to a series entitled “Black Cats and Birds.” When I saw Sara’s 5+1, I chuckled and said to myself, “All it needs is a cat.” So, here it is: 5+1+1. |
Nelvia McGrath: Rebirth
Just a couple pieces of drafting tape, a piece of
gelli print and a gold leaf butterfly
 |
I
happen to also like minimalism, but rarely practice it. I guess my motto
is “Too much is never enough.” I had made some gold leafed butterflies
for a picture and didn’t end up using them. So, I decided to keep with my
Oriental theme in my new journal project and made Rebirth in a minimal approach. The butterfly is very
symbolic in Japanese culture and signifies metamorphosis and
transformation. It also is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and for all
of us I wish good health. |
Helen Eaton: Beethoven's Fifth
Oil on Canvas, 10"x 20"

Sara and I were careful to avoid the word “challenge” as we
created Inspiration Collaboration. We didn’t want to give a tone it being work
or that participating would be hard. That said, getting my first look (a few
days early) of Sara’s 5 + 1 felt like a really big challenge. Here’s my train
of thought. What? No way. Ok. I can do this. It’s bold yet beautiful, has power
within simplicity... Five black parallel
lines that continue on and a dot/bird. Sometimes the art fairy shows up like a
tinkling of bells and sometimes… BaBaBa Baaaaaaaaaaaamph! BaBaBa
Baaaaaaaaaaaaamph! |

appreciate minimalism, some don’t. I love the graphic elements of a minimalist image. |
