Colors for a Large Wall, 1951
Ellsworth Kelly’s, born on this day in 1923, emphasized pure form and color as he developed his abstract art. He was a major influence on Pop Art, Minimalism, hard-edge and color field painting, Ellsworth Kelly’s best-known works are distinguished by sharp shapes flatly painted in vivid color, such as Colors for a Large Wall (1951). His abstract paintings are inspired by the light, space, and color in the architecture around him.
He died on December 27, 2015 at the age of 92 in New York. Read more about Ellsworth Kelly here.
These ladies painted some uniquely beautiful Peace Poles at the workshop at The Studio yesterday afternoon. Beautiful!
Something happened a few days ago that caught me off guard. But after a little time to reflect I realized that I have been in such a rush over the past few years to work, work, work that I have forgotten how to slow down and enjoy what I am working so hard for anyway.
Joey did a great job with his Memorial Day painting at his lesson this week. Super work!
Everyone expressed their creativity last night at a Floral Paint Party. We used brushes and fingers as we painted these lovely works of art. It’s always fun to see what people come up with as they design their own works of art. Great work!
The kids painted a lovely little flag scene in anticipation to upcoming Memorial Day. Great job everyone!
Take a look at the next fun project we will be doing at The Studio – Peace/Garden Poles! They are based on the idea of Peace Poles.
