This months Etsian Artists Art Party prompt was TIMELESSNESS.  To be honest I had too many ideas running through my head for this one.  Too many, because I am so indecisive and that made it way too hard to narrow it down to just one. lol  As you can see in the above pics, the idea I finally decided upon is inspired by one of my all time fav bands from the 80's Berlin and one song in particular called Dancing In Berlin!  The reason I chose this song for inspiration for this prompt is for many reasons but one in particular because even though this song came out in 1987 it is still in my top playlists here in 2012 and will continue to be forever!  In my opinion it is certainly a timeless hit and Berlin is a timeless band!  For this painting I used a great youtube video for a very rare dance remix of Dancing in Berlin, the video is a slideshow of some fabulous pics and I am sure if you have a peek you will see how they inspired this painting.  Check out the video below...

Art Party & New Art

I know I have been absent for quite a while now and I am sorry about that, I have been sick for quite some time and had to take a little bit of time off to get better.   I am feeling much better now and trying to get caught up.  If you don't already know about the Etsian Artists Monthly Art Party you can check it out HERE for March.  I did manage to get this months prompt done amazingly, the prompt was A Bazaar and this is what I came up with, I call it Dare 2 B Different it is Watercolor and Ink done on Watercolor Paper 17.5 x 12, the original is not for sale at the moment because I am using it in my upcoming Gallery Exhibition but I do have reproductions available in my Etsy Shop and on Fine Art America.

I also finally photographed some other pieces that I had finished before I got sick.  Both originals are not for sale at the moment for the same reason as above but I do have the reproductions available in my Etsy Shop and Fine Art America as well.
