I love the shading and use of colors. These artists crossed the line of expected and ventured into the unexpected, and it worked. Great post! Thanks for the link love. <strong><em>You are welcome for the link love. Thanks for the kind words. I do love these works.

I love the bold colors and that fact that the paintings are bold as well. It speaks of someone trying to convey a message through their art, and that's a GOOD thing. :) <strong><em>I was pretty awed by the works, myself, Nancy. Wish I had that talent!

I love the freely expressed colour and line of the paintings which is juxtaposed against the rigid, regular brickwork. It seems to signify that no matter how much conformity and homogeneity is encouraged by our society, that there are still free thinkers out there. That makes me smile! <strong><em>Yes, Amy. Free thinkers are a good thing! I liked the brickwork behind the art, too. The wild colors speak to me.~skt</strong></em> I really like this photo, Shelly!

Beautiful nonetheless. Why do we always find beauty in the bad stuff? Perhaps because we're human, I guess. As for finding the good in the bad, the preschool teacher just told me that she and the speech path will be observing my daughter for the next 30 days because (in a nutshell) they think she might be more autistic (not that they can diagnosis it) and may or may not benefit from a different class. On the bright side, I did read an article once that found lots of genius-type people have autistic children. So, um, maybe I'm a genius? ;p In all seriousness, on the bright side, my daughter is perefectly capable of interacting in social situations, so regardless of an autistic or otherwise diagnosis, I know she will be capable of functioning in society. <strong><em>If they seem angry or depressed, perhaps it is because they are teenagers??:lol: Genius type people do have autistic children, and some people with autism are geniuses on another level.

To live rather than just exist a person needs to feel emotions, so the artists were 'living' and not afraid of color. And as for emotion, Leon is definitely alive this week with all the work and frustration it causes on a few days, grin. The faces fascinate me, they all show personalities and emotion of some kind.

I don't necessarily like the style enough to hang in my home, but I think art projects like that are fascinating. I love looking at them. I'm not into abstract art/sculpture, but I love looking at public sculptures too. I've always been interested in how others think, and seeing the art a person produces allows me to see a little bit of how their mind works.

So here's my one good thing about my irritant: I breast fed my babies, and Facebook can't take that away! Nice to see something about Face that isn’t about breasts and FaceBook.
