The Fountain Of Pots – Featured Art Print

Just awesome.

thewallgalleryblog

I just completed a new art print for my Gardens Gallery titled: The Fountain Of Pots. In this wall art print, I used a fauvism oil technique creating this scene. This technique uses bold abstract brush strokes and strong, bright surreal colors. The wall art print is of a fountain next to a potted palm plant.

The Fountain Of Pots

The setting is a patio fountain created using pots stacked on rocks top to bottom creating the trickling water effect. Next to the fountain is a potted palm, which adds an additional element to the scene. I chose to do the print in an abstract style reminiscent of fauvism to really pull out the shapes of the main element of this art print, the fountain itself. The abstract approach and surreal colors create a fun, playful image of this patio fountain. Thoughts?

I invite you to visit my Gardens Gallery

Letters to Nan by Matthew Wooding

A wonderful story about a grandmother and grandson’s relationship. This story had me laughing and crying all the way through.  The book had me thinking about the relationship between my mom and my nephew. My mom loves her grandson very much but he is now old enough to not spend as much time with her as he did growing up and it breaks her heart. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

Chop, Chop by L.N. Cronk

Well when I picked this book up,  I didn’t know it would be a religious book. But I would think it has all you could want in a teen Christian story.  It was very interesting in it’s own way.  I was thinking when I grabbed this book that it was horror, the name “chop, chop” made me think killers or something.  But I enjoyed the book and was surprised that I liked it as much as I did.   4/5

The Adventures of JoJo Smith by Tony Leslie Duxbury

This book takes an Englishman to a far-off world. A wizard has cast a spell that brings JoJo to this medieval-like country. The reader is introduced to a cast of characters in his new world. This was an interesting story told in first person narrative. The book dragged a little at times for me but all in all was not bad. I think this was a good story line but the book still need a little work with the dialog in some areas in my opinion. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  3/5

The Mansion’s Twins by Rose M Channing

A great book about twins.  I always thought it would be cool to have a twin.  I won’t ever know but the thought of it has been very fun and entertaining over the years.   In this story, Ellie and Savannah run away from home and find themselves in a fantastical but dangerous world. If you are a fan of Harry Potter you will like this book.  Of course the twins have powers in this book and you will have to read to find out more. I would love to read the next book in the series. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5

The Art of Raising Hell by Thomas Lopinski

What an interesting trip to the early 70s!  I enjoyed this book very much.  I have not real knowledge of the 70s but I think it would be a little like this book. I love the  three-dimensional characters and the authors approach to this story.  I had a hard time putting this book down it pulled me right in. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

Murder By Umbrella: Passion by Jaye Rothman

I enjoyed this book very much.  I don’t much like sex scenes too much either but I love the story line.  A women spy we need more books like this.  I enjoyed the characters and the well developed story line.  The characters seems real to me and believable. This book reminded me a little of Agatha Christie.  If you like a good lady spy book or just some mystery check this book out.  * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5
