 People look at art and many times ask, “Is it real?” or “I don’t get it!” Does it mean the viewer doesn't understand the vision of the artist because it’s just not real enough? Artists are visual interpreters that tie colors and forms together, whether real or abstract. An artist’s inspiration is influenced by many factors like color, shape and the emotional feeling the subject evokes. Not everyone interprets these elements the same and consequently sees them differently. The old adage, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” rings truthful when it comes to artistic expression. Who can say if it’s real or not? The answer belongs to the viewer!

AuthorBJ Pinkston has always loved to draw. She said, “My first memory is a mural I drew on the blackboard in the third grade. It was dinosaurs in colored chalk. The teacher left it up for the entire year. I was so proud!” She described her style as a mix of Impressionism and Abstract Impressionism. She noted that like many artists in the beginning she painted realistic detailed paintings, but as the years have passed, her style has evolved….less detail and more freedom. BJ’s passion when it comes to a medium to use is watercolors. However, she will use any medium or mix of mediums that will best represent her ideas. She said she choose watercolors because she loved the “flow of paint and it was the first class I took and I was hooked for life.” She gets her ideas from everywhere and makes notes of what she sees. She likes nature and organic images and her mixed media art comes from her imagination. Archives
