Gorgeous Bird Paintings by Adam S. Doyle

Artist Adam S. Doyle who recently relocated to Hong Kong creates beautiful gestural paintings of birds, where the seemingly incomplete brushstrokes form the feathers and other details of the animal. In some strange way it reminds me of the story of the Renaissance painter Giotto who is rumored to have been able to draw a perfect circle without the aid of a compass, as if Doyle just picks up a dripping paint brush and in a few seconds paints a perfect bird. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/09/gorgeous-painted-birds-by-adam-s-doyle/
http://catinwater.com/2012/08/21/rashad-alakbarov-paints-with-shadows-and-light/ Artist Rashad Alakbarov from Azerbaijan uses suspended translucent objects and other found materials to create light and shadow paintings on walls. The best part is that you can easily create something similar at home – all you need is one or two lamps and some items from your desk. The stunning light painting below, made with an array of colored airplanes has found its way to exhibitions like the Fly to Baku at De Pury Gallery in London. Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
