Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the sheer talent and focus other artists have for their work. Which got me to thinking about contemporary women artists and led me to a site called ArtCYCLOPEDIA and a subset of pages dedicated to Contemporary Women Artists.

I could spend days and days looking, reading, discovering and then being inspired by this site but I did manage to hone in on an artist or two worth spending some quality time on. First is Elizabeth Blackadder and her painting Flowers on an Indian Cloth; Flowers on Cloth - 1965. I love this painting and am already dreaming of paintings I'd like to do in this genre.

The other interesting artist I found was Margot Lovejoy and in exploring her website I ended up at TURNS (What event changed your life?). I don't know how to describe this site except to copy their description. "TURNS is a new type of social collaboration based on the idea of revealing and then discovering one's major turning point life experience in relation to those of others." That is the first sentence of a long description.

Intriguing huh? Visit the site and really spend some time reading the stories and looking at the lifemaps. It is so interesting.

Live, love, explore....
