Red Poppies by Romo

The flower symbolism associated with poppies is beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and eternal life. The Egyptians included poppies at funerals and in burial tombs. The Greeks used poppies in the shrines of Demeter, goddess of fertility, and Diana, goddess of the hunt. Poppies denote sleep, rest and repose. In modern times, poppies have been associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War I Acrylics on Canvas

Portfolio...Jonagold 3 by Janis Zroback

/ “Jonagold 3 is part of the Portfolio Collection, which has three websites devoted to it alone...acrylic on canvas… the following is an excerpt from my Blog “The Journey”, which describes the process of creating this collection…a few samples are shown below…click on each to see the original page… Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind, as a steady purpose….a point on which the soul may fix it’s intellectual eye”.....Mary Shelley. Since the first of this series “Still Life with Mandarins”, emerged, I have been deliberately making the symbolic backgrounds of seasons, land, sea, sky, man, his work, etc. etc. more and more stylized….the subject matter however, I want to keep very real. I like the fruit to look ripe and juicy, as if you could pull it right off the canvas ...... In this way I can escape falling into the trap of the painter as moralist. I still want the work to be decorative….the kind of thing I would want to, and indeed have, hanging in my own home. ....what’s more I would like to involve the viewer in a dialogue with the work ..... No two paintings are alike and I will make sure that they never will be. One thing they do have in common, is the very dark ebb and flow, that swirls around the subject area of the painting…..and again this will be different with each painting .... Laurie Lee’s lyrical words, speak to all of my work during these last few months. Behold the apples’ rounded worlds:  juice-green of July rain,  the black polestar of flowers, the rind  mapped with its crimson stain. / The russet, crab and cottage, red  burn to the sun’s hot brass,  then drop like sweat from every branch  and bubble in the grass. / They lie as wanton as they fall,  and where they fall and break,  the waltzing wasp consumes his share,  the bent worm enters in. / / / / /

About This Group

The appreciation of all styles and mediums in art making (No photography please).

So this is the group for all you Fine Art Artists
(please no Photography or Digital Art, there is a Fine Art Photography group for your beautiful Photographs)
a few rules though….

1. Only two works per day.
(if you put more than two on, I will accept two and reject the others.)
2. All Fine Art mediums (drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture etc)
3. No photographs or digital works please, as there are plenty of groups on Redbubble already existing for photography and digital art.
4. Nudity is accepted if painted or drawn, no photographs again, no photoshop art.
5. No writing unless it is writing about your art making, other artists, exhibitions and questions about art or materials – but remember we have forums that we’d like you to participate in and they are a more appropriate place to write in.
6. IF YOU SEND EITHER myself or a cohost abusive emails than you will be removed from from the group, if you cannot speak nicely, than you can join another group.
Thanks everyone. BillyLee
