What were you thinking Jesyka Dillon...
Painting by Jesyka Dillon
Alright, so I happened across the Todd County Art Show & Music Contest, of which I'll be headed to in a minute. Got caught up the art show, put my camera down, let all of today's day go bye-bye for a minute and took some time looking at some of the paintings and drawings and ceramics and stuff.
Loved this picture from Jesyka Dillon of the Strawberry!
Why a Strawberry, of all things to put in a painting? Love the color scheme as it takes off in different and lighter shades the further you move away. Simple, but really, really cool!
Okay, so I'm not sure who painted this, but I freaking love it....It's so different and out there, I wonder what the artist was thinking? Love the roots and debris falling away and the concentric piece of earth being pulled into the sky....It's just different....Love it, like Halloween uprooting itself and running away!
So, again, maybe I'm just a freak for orange, but I really like this....It's got the geometric shapes that are all order and in place but the letters and the words are like all pushed together or stretched out....Such a cool way to bring something normal to a new level.
I just love this piece!
I'm not sure if I'm seeing two faces or one that has the possibilities of looking at you or looking away from you? Love the ears...Different sizes and different markings within....I'm such a creature of habit, and I see things in one dimension sometimes so it's nice to get out of the box and imagine what someone is thinking...smiling, frowning? Happy, angry or in-between....Superb!
And finally, my pièce de ré·sis·tance....I just love this piece...angry tree, swirling with emotions...constant struggle, turbulent...there are so many emotions in that tree....Love the red and blues and purple on top and how they kinda drip angrily with remorse or caution. It's a deep swirling mix of emotions going on there....Bravo to the artist!
Encourage everyone to take a moment at the Lakota Nation Invitational, take the blinders off, put the phone down and drink in what some of these most excellent artists have dared to share with us!
