There are some really good ones in there and a few I didn’t care for, but art is relative to the person. While I appreciate what they do, i wouldn’t hang a few of those in my house. Nice find all the same 🙂

I’m familiar with Karen Eland’s work and it’s fantastic! I love sepia tones and really like some of the other paintings too. Hong Yi’s work is amazing! The portrait she did of Jay Chou is spectacular.

I was wondering how long the scent of coffee lasts after it’s applied to paper/canvas and then I read Sunshine Plata uses a particular kind of canvas that makes sure that the aroma of the coffee isn’t lost either. I love to see artists expressions using unique mediums and techniques! They’re inspiring and know no bounds. 🆒 My aunt has done entire paintings using… _nail polish!_ 😃 Oil paint is expensive, ya know! 😉

I admit there are some, I have less affinity for compare to others but I would love to have any these artists skills. 🙂

It’s incredible Ms. Elands can make such remarkably accurate renditions of classic masterpieces like “Starry Night” and her original works is really fetching as well. 🙂

What got me is she capture something in her depiction of Chou that I can’t exactly put into words its like a subtle ethereal component.

Art that interacts with the sense smell along with sight. Now that’s some heavy stuff. It’s kind of like “Smell O Vision.” Lol. 😃

That’s pretty ingenious (I guess it runs in the family) you know what they say, “necessity is the mother of invention.” 🆒
