Week 1 of Summer 2014
It took a little discipline, but thus far I've kept my plans to work on artwork, exercise, read and spend time with family on a daily basis. There's been no traveling yet - LOL! Anyway, here's a little sampling of what I accomplished in the art front.

She is some elegant lady in your mixed media piece, Arnaldo. Well done. Some stunning pieces of artwork on your desk - you have certainly been busy. Thanks for already visiting and for your comments. Yes, I've been having fun, too, playing with that new (to me)technique.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.

Lovely post, great fashion work. Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, what beautiful fashion studies you've made. These were the type of drawings I learned when in school to become a tailor. I have a real crush on the 50's fashion and your first one reminds me of that.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I can manage a thousand words, but I really appreciate you sharing this post. Thanks.
Oh, and I saw someone call your colorful fashion drawing an abstract, it's really smashing and I believe they didn't notice the human body inside it. LOL.
ReplyDeletewhat an impressive collection of fashion drawings-really marvelous! Beautiful card for the FMS sketch too. Good for you to be able to get so much in in a day. happy summer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mix of art styles, all nicely done! Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteArnoldo, you always produce such a wonderful and varied array of art works. These are great. My fave of the bunch is the very first one, the fashion illustration.

Awesome drawing! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustrations. I especially love the third one for its bright colors and abstract pattern.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Wow, you've been busy! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteSuperb , very beautiful! Each of these drawings are true masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining to me that the letter W is "doble V" . I should have known that if I had looked in my Spanish dictionary, but I was too lazy. I suppose it is the same in Italian and Portuguese? The W is not a strong letter anyway. But thank you!
Wil, ABCW Team

ReplyDeleteArnold these are all fantastic. So diverse. Your talent is amazing
