Hollyhocks Birthday Card

 


I've been completely in love with the new Impressionism paintings, by artists
such as Erin Hanson, and even our own Dawn McVey. Capturing the bright 
colors and contemporary shapes was the goal with this card. Contrast and bright
happy movement. 


The Greetery's Hollyhocks die was cut and assembled using bright reds and pinks
and added to a bright blue background. Even The Greetery's birthday die emits a 
freeform feeling.


The new impressionist painters are fearless in their color combinations, often
using bright colors for ordinary objects.


I recently attended Beyond Van Gogh, and vowed to take up painting again. 
Have you seen it? 
Here's a sample of experiencing Van Gogh's art come to life!


Beyond Van Gogh is an experience, not just a gallery of paintings. The walls come alive
with movement, reflected on the floor. His brushstrokes are so emotional you almost
feel him attacking his canvas!


Our card making craft allows us to draw from all sorts of techniques and styles.
Hope you enjoyed my 'impression' of impressionism!
