Alli Arnold Art - Custom Painter and Mural Artist in Olathe, Kansas, Johnson County

My 5 new paintings for my 2010 Spring Line are finished…well, almost. As I was working on these new creations, I thought it may be interesting to ask for input from those interested in my art.

Sometimes, I start a painting with a quote in mind. Other times I have the image first and a quote, lyric or poem seems to assign itself to the painting.  With these 5 new paintings, the inspiration really stemmed from the fabrics. I was excited to work with the fresh colors and patterns of spring. The paintings really developed from there without the quotes.

So now I want to hear what you see. When you look at these 5 new paintings, what thoughts come to mind? Do you have a quote that fits one of these paintings? Which one speaks to you? What would you have it say?

I would love to have  your insight to these new paintings. Maybe a passage out of a recent book you’ve read really matches up with one of these. Maybe you have discovered a new song with lyrics that describe one of these faces. I would love to have you submit your ideas – hoping to choose one of the submissions to be placed on each painting. Please indicate which painting you are wanting your quote to be on and also send along the name of the author of the quote.

I am looking forward to reading all the submissions. It will be so interesting to see what others see when they look at one of these paintings. I have looked at them for months now and I am excited for fresh eyes and new thoughts. Thank you for your creative assistance in this process. I hope it makes for a richer and fuller finished piece.
