Artist's Description
*Copyright 2012 Laura Grisham
From the moment I laid eyes on the the painting, "Yellow Cow" by Fauvist artist FRANZ MARC, I was in love. The colors were so vibrant and the cow...so, well, yellow...and joyful...and jumping. Just looking at the pictures in Art History books made me want to see MORE.
I discovered that Marc used primary colors to represent male/female/emotions. Blue was used to represent the masculine, Yellow for the feminine, and Red often represented children or motherhood. He also used yellow to represent joy. Marc wanted to depict the nature he saw around him in colors that were, well, NOT NATURAL.
I, too, love to paint with vivid, saturated hues. And I love to create a world that is not natural but whimsical and how I wish it actually could be. Many of my descriptions tell of my thoughts concerning heaven. And I think that maybe in heaven I just might come across a yellow cow... at least, I hope so.

About Laura Grisham
As a child you could often find me quietly "painting by numbers" in my room. More often than not, my paintings were not exactly like those pictured on the box because I loved to change the numbers/colors around. Although I won awards for my artwork in elementary school I never really believed in my heart I was a real artist. I thought that "real artists" could draw anything from memory, and that was a gift I did not have. When reaching the upper grades we had to choose among our electives. Music...Art...or Dance Team? Although it broke my heart, I chose music and dance. You see, those areas received much more attention, and as an insecure young teenager that was one thing I strongly desired! However, deep...

Laura, this is just lovely and it feels like stained glass but is so much more vivid. I just love the way you've infused it with such a profusion of colors and the way they compliment each other is even better. The movememt is fantastic and you know how I love it when you do Masters' type of works. I think this is just fabulous with your blendings of blues, greens and the standout of the yellow not to mention throwing in some pinks and oranges. FAV/Vote!

I hadn't even noticed the stained glass effect until you mentioned it! Maybe it has to do with all the glazes...I absolutely LOVE all the colors and the blending was so much fun to do. Thanks so much for the encouragement...now, back to painting I must go! Laura
