Vanessa Lubach's Terrific Linocuts

Vanessa Lubach, of the UK, has a particular talent for linocut.

Take note of the overlapping tree branches and the fur of the squirrel. 

When the many steps in the process of creating a linocut print are 

realized and appreciated, one sees that her detailed artistry is truly outstanding!

Sketching, cutting the linoleum, printing each color.

The results make a lengthy process well worth it!

Well done, Vanessa!

Starla Michelle's Bold, Beautiful Paintings

Starla Michelle, Texas born and bred, paints from the heart.

She is an artist whose passion is so evident in her paintings!

Bold, abstract works are her impressions of the world around her.

She introduces bright shades that compliment one another 

while shouting out emotions of happiness and optimism!

Regarding her connection to her art, Starla says, "I love what I do 

and try to maintain a child-like wonder in my work while honoring the Creator."

To define her art philosophy, she shares a wonderful quote 

by Andre Gide as a subtitle on her website:

"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist,

and the less the artist does, the better."

I like that.
