Midnight Thief: an Artist Collaboration by Bibi Davidson and Isabelle Bryer

We did it as children, behind the teacher's back, during painfully long algebra classes: someone would doodle a cartoon character on a piece of paper, slide it to a friend a few desks down for her to add her own... Continue reading

Once in a blue moon it happens: you sit in front of your easel with in mind a clear idea of what you will paint. From the pencil sketch to the final "fignolage " (ugly french word meaning "last touch... Continue reading

Beauty and Madness in Rural America: The Art of Andrea Kowch

One of the characteristics of Magic Realism in art is that "it has an unsettling quality, remarkable details, sharp focus and some mystery or a secret seems to be hidden within the subject matter". This seems to describe perfectly the... Continue reading

Thank you all for your comments. Alicia, I paint in acrylic, it's my favorite medium, it allows me to do almost anything I want, in particular good skin color by layering bright colors under the skin tone :)

Okay then, I agree with you Jesse. We will just tell the truth about why we paint what we paint. Anyway I suck at lying and embarrass myself even more so what's the point?

Flower Sisters Step by Step

Yesterday I finished painting a fairly large piece (36"x48") which I called Flower Sisters. Most of the time I have one main idea when I begin a painting and everything else appears around it only because "it feels right to... Continue reading

Yes, she has an amazing and serious little face, it is hard to resist. I have to say that she seems to cooperate really well with her talented dad. I really doubt my kids would have been that patient!

As I was speed-scrolling down my Facebook page the other morning my eye got caught on the purest and most beautiful little girl's face. After a few clicks I was mesmerized by so much cuteness. I had just discovered the... Continue reading

Hello Ann. So now you know how this painting was created. I am in the middle of another one and I am taking photos! I am so glad you are inspired by this painting!

Daureen!! So glad to "see" you here!! I am so happy you read this interview. Yes they do have a nice collection and you can see the heart they put into picking each pieces, which is how art should be chosen. The first thing I do when I get to their house is to sneak around to see what's new!

No Lali, Deborah was not the model for Snow Angel but I can see how you might think so, they do look alike. She does own the original as you can see. I had painted a portait of her a long time ago that is not shown on these photos.

It is true Kara, Deborah's house is very entertaining, they also like to switch the art around whenever they bring a new piece.

Thank you Deborah, it is very nice of you to say. Myself I am partial to Basquiat ;)

Corine, I am desperately trying to match my couch to my artwork which is much harder.

Yes Brennen, here is the situation: we have to make wonderful art AND be adorable at the same time to get a chance to sell. Jeeez. I just looked you up, you make beautiful landscapes...

Hi CJY, I looked up Eric Stotik, pretty intense and dark work! thanks for mentioning him. It's good to know I am not the only one who likes to go and "visit" her art after it was sold. I feel less weird :)

Jess, thanks for tweeting it. I am happy to see that all 3 of you artists can relate to the Muse theory. It takes a lot off our shoulders, if we mess up we can always say: the Muse made me do it!
