Art that Rocks!!

I am hoping that most of you have heard or have seen or even found some of the painted rocks that people are creating and then leaving around for others to find.  But what if that was taken a step further and those rocks were attached to wood, canvas or anything else and used as art.  Check out these rocks and let me know what you think.

So my first question is, are they art?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  Do you think they are cute and creative or a waste of someone's time?  What would you paint on a rock if you could?

Does their mother know they did this?

Have you ever made such a mess that you were grounded for a very long time?  Maybe some of you still are...

Well these three works of art might be right up your alley.  I couldn't find if they were real or who created them, but I thought they were lots of fun and kind of interesting and I wanted to know what you thought.

So what do you think of these?  Is this something that you would like to try?  Do you think he threw only one cup of paint to create that splatter or did it take him several, if so, how many?  Do you like only the black paint or would you try other colors?  Do you think the canvases would look as good if you move them away from their walls?

Abstract magic

While surfing Pinterest, yes this is where I get most of my great ideas, I came across the abstract artist Cody Hooper.  Cody is an American Abstract artist that started in watercolors, but has since branched out to working with a variety of mediums to create these beautiful abstract works of art.
Why don't you take a look at a few of them and then let me know what you think?

So what are some things that you notice about his work?  Does he have any common techniques that you can see?  What do you like or dislike about them?  Do you like them more or less if I told you that most of these are for sale for a few thousand dollars each?  Do you think you could create them?

Pallet Art???

It is a wonderful thing that everyone is trying to find ways to be both creative and environmentally friendly, but do you think pallet art is a true art form?

Are these patriotic pallets considered art or crafts?

Does this horse silhouette look like something that you would even consider making?  If you could do this what would you put into silhouette?

What do you think of this ice cream bar pallet project?  Is this creative?  Is this something that you would make or hang up in your house?  Can you think of something that would be really clever to make out of pallets?
