Detailed woven tapestries, right? Nope. Oil paintings! Ok, I know you’re not supposed to touch art – that’s what those velvet ropes at galleries are for – but I really, really want to touch these paintings by Canadian artist Caroline Larsen. I seriously thought they were vintage-esque, homages to the great outdoors in woven form when I first saw them, but no… they are vintage-esque, homages to the great outdoors made up of thousands of tiny strokes of oil paint. Sigh. Must. Touch.
{Found at General Hardware Contemporary, Toronto}
ps. I love her series of rocky, cacti gardens too…
Love.
MMmm another gem! Caroline Larson’s work is a mix of salt water taffies, the stop-motion animation intro to Pee Wee’s playhouse and the lushness of David Hockney paintings. I love this website. As a collage artist, I love seeing what my fellow mixed media artists are up to, keep posting more collage!
Love, love, love!
you have one of the best blogs in this universe
Truly amazing oil paintings. A really great find. I’m awed.
Those cacti! I would KILL to learn how to weave/create tapestries like that. Great find!
