you are fine art!

Butterfly Girl sketch by Darren Daz Cox. Drawn randomly today at my day job. I was thinking of how art is in the eye of the beholder, the girl thinks the butterfly is art, we think the girl watching the butterfly is art and perhaps our higher selves or souls etc see us looking at this as art!

Obviously there is a biological reason why we can translate pretty things into ‘art’, we find kids cute because we are compelled to protect them and find value in seeing butterflys as they add interest to the scenery, but when you define things as art you are adding the human factor to what we see!

Abstract art can add or focus attention onto certain interesting visual clues. Great abstract art requires faith and confidence. Colors, shapes and composition are worked until it just feels right to the artist, then it is ready to show. You have the option to enjoy this and I hope you do! Made with the liquify filter in Adobe Photoshop.

I love the cool silvery liquid mercury like metal with little hearts ‘pinning’ it together. I love being able to work on many styles of art at the same time without pressure to focus on one or the other, it is liberating and keeps art fresh and enjoyable for me as I continue to be productive!
