Abstract Fish Painting
They called it Naive art, these paintings by the cleaning lady. It is quite a story
Oh Séraphine
All artists should know you
for you painted for you
after scrubbing the dirty clothes
after being the help, the servant
after your hands were rough
you painted for you
and for your lady Madonna
and because your God
told you to
and
it drove you mad,
and you never knew anything but the work
followed by the paint on your hands, for
the artist’s hands are
always beautiful
when the painting is
finished.
You got there
you made it
you can’t hear me
can you?
So artist out there
paint when no one wants it,
paint with no one but you to see
paint when no one cares
paint when you know for sure
that the art will rot
in some forgotten attic.
Thank you
Séraphine Louis
for the art
lesson.

Abstract Art Images
This is the last oil I painted. It had many forms and shapes over the years for I liked it, didn’t like it many times and added paint again and again.
Abstract art images or, as I call them, shapes are my passion.
I have always called it abstract shapism. Others call it that now. These images have been on the net since 1996. My art was at Artcrawl because Robert Varner noticed me in 1997. He is the founder and owner of DoubleTake Gallery, Fine Art Consignments. Since 1997 I have not met a more honest company and a finer person on this internet.
I also call this abstract image The Stairway painting because it has lifted me up somehow. It is truly reaching for something whether I achieved it or not.
It is the reaching, the stairway that is important. Abstract art is a denial, a rebellious act. Often the rebellion looks like everybody else’s rebellion. This certainly doesn’t look like a stairway, maybe it’s a weird flower to you. When I succeed, the image is different things to different people.
“I see a cow” is a perfectly great reaction to a great abstract shape. That is why my abstract images have shape. Here is another shape:
and another:
What do you see? If your imagination is at work then I have succeeded!

Abstract Dancer Painting
I have to call him something on this internet. It doesn’t let you get away with “Blue and Green Number 12” or some other stupid modern name. He has to be named something that somebody will ask for. Chances are you asked for him. If he’s not an abstract dancer painting then you can go look at one of those that look like dancers that somebody painted weird colors.
Maybe he’s an abstract bear or something else but he’s an abstract dancer painting now and he’s going to have to take his chances there.
I’m an internet artist and people are going to see me whether they like me or not! Come to think of it, how is that different from a museum. I sneak around with my keywords and people visit my museum called Google.
People see my art and it’s not wasted nor does it wait to be declared worthy.
Maybe one of my images will inspire someone somewhere.

Modern Art Paintings
The Art of Assassin’s Creed 3
Assassin’s Creed 3 the video game is the story of one man reliving the lives of his ancestors. Assassin’s Creed 3 is the only video game you can play through history assuming the identity your ancestors. The game is set between the years 1753 and 1783 and focuses on Connor Kenway, who fought during the American Revolution. Connor the ancestor and the main character in Assassin’s Creed 3 explore places going back in time to the American Revolution.
By playing the game you can tell right away a tremendous effort went into the making of the Assassin’s Creed. And as always with all three Assassin’s Creed games the art work is impressive. When “game” and “art” come together video games becomes a truly beautiful experience. If you are not able to play the game but want to see the art work look at the book by Andy McVittie (a limited edition art book with signed prints for Assassin’s Creed 3) shows the finely honed and evocative historical images blended into the video game. Immerse yourself in these images and feel the past come to life.
