Even Babies Love Art

I just love this photo by Margaret Hanna Ferguson's little Finley, looking at his mom's new collection, just arrived a few days ago. Photo w/permission.

Below is little Stephanie at 1 year 3 mos. giving pointers to what else needs to be done. These originals sometimes take time. I'm also working on another painting for about a year and a half. I'm sure it will be on my best effort list. Like some things fine, they take time.

But seriously, other times it just comes out of the blue.

Putting them aside helps to add more without making them look cluttered. I would start with many ruff cut figurines for the purpose of making it flow in color and contrast. Lots of cut outs would not make the final result. The artwork below "Kuskuqvvim Cikiutai Kuskokwim Gifts combines a mask made by Moses Tulim. Then I applied abalone eyes and painted to match the work. All the other masks follow you with their eyes in any angle. Each with their own character and feel.

Another collector I have is Bradley McDonald. His wall looks like a gallery below, all original paintings. Besides Bradley, there are several other collectors who are also welcomed to post their collection on Atsaq Art.
