Nurture Your Nature: Hundertwasser's Art

Dear Laura,

I wanted to remind you of one of the artists you researched during graduate school. You showed me how Friedensreich Hundertwasser created paintings and architecture inspired and made for nature.  

Did you know he also designed flags, stamps, posters, and coins?  

As one of our earliest environmentalists, he challenged the industrial nature of our culture with architectural design that worked harmoniously with nature.  Below I have made some photo collages of his work that may inspire you as you get back into your studio after returning from vacation.

He gained notoriety through his bold and colorful paintings. Some of his circle shapes remind me of your work. Look at the green roofs in his architectural designs! Did you know about these works? He is a good model for creating art in all different kinds of formats.  

You often have the desire to work in clay, mixed media, and photography with your flower posies and antique object assemblages.  Don't leave these ideas for fear of not focusing on your painting.  Life is long!I hope you enjoyed your tropical trip and have an easy transition back to the studio!

Hugs,Tina
