Woman in a Window & Pretty Trashed

On By ResaIn Graffiti Alley, Windows132 Comments

I went to the Junction to see if any of the holiday window art had been kept.

Every holiday season artists paint, usually frost-like images, on the windows of shops.

It’s only there for a month, a cold and snowy month. This is why I’ve never made it there for the happening.

I found only one. It’s on a record store window. I don’t know if it’s from the art fest or not, but I like it.

I was in a window once,

in a pantyhose ad.

Found this when tossing stuff from the back of a closet. Kinda glad I still have it… crumpled & stained though it may be. (I touched amap out as possible.)

She’s Pretty & she’s on a trash bin, so she’s Pretty Trashed.

Interiors – The Painted House

On By ResaIn The Painted House138 Comments

In this second last post of the Painted House, we look at the remainder of the interior.

Main Floor

Bathroom

This is a difficult painting to capture, as the bathroom was about 5′ wide, tops.

I used the zoom-out feature to shoot it.

……which accounts for most of the distortion seen in the slideshow.

Dining Room

Living Room

The art was painted over wall paper in the living room. In a couple of pieces, the art was integrated with the wall paper, as seen in. the slideshow.

Second Floor

Bedrooms

This was a Jackson Pollack + (sort of) all over paint with installation. This is a tiny room, and the most popular with the kids.

“Put that back! Don’t touch that! I want this! No, it’s part of the art! Waaaaaa!, Don’t go there! I want the bear! Put the bear back!,etc.”

Not a guy, part of the art.

I got out of that room fast, but not before I nabbed a shot of me in the splattered mirror.

The master bedroom was done in faux stained glass effect, and partly shown in in the post September of The Painted House series. The third bedroom was featured in Bedroom of TPH series

All 8 (9th coming soon) of The Painted House posts are easily available to view by clicking on the diptych doors art, second from the top on the sidebar.

Toucan Angel or Mathematician?

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Birds159 Comments

I think this is a Toucan?

Probably an angel Toucan. He/she does have a golden halo.

Does the bell in the 3-D triangle mean anything?

I’m of 3 minds.

#1– Absolutely nothing.

#2 – There is a “Bell Triangle”. You can read about it on –Wolfram MathWorld

Suddenly the 3-D writing on the left looks like numbers.

OR 3 –

A Triangle Bell

A wall was painted for a scene in a movie. After the scene was shot, the wall was painted over. I knew from the first piece, that something was off. Let me know which one you thought was fake in comments. Answer at end of post.

They shot a movie once, in my hometown
Everybody was in it, from miles around
Out at the speedway, some kind of Elvis thing
Well, I ain't no movie star
But I can get behind anything.

Dems & Doll – Everything Art

On By ResaIn Graffiti Alley100 Comments

I’m such a Street Artist groupie! I was thrilled to meet Dems & Doll, while they were painting.

Honestly, we chatted for awhile, exchanged names, I watched them paint for a bit  and now can’t remember their real names.

Anyway, Dems painted this fab face. I went back a couple days later to shoot the finished works.

Here’s Doll painting!

She gave me a wonderful reflective not sticker, with one of her faces. It’s taped on my purse now.

I took some pics of the art piece Doll gave me. It’s actually more monochrome, but I took it at night w/street lights/ overhead light &/or flash. I love it!
