Found Art Friday - ORDINARY

"Do You Think I'm Ordinary" by Emma Talbot.

"Laundry" by Pippin.

"Random Influences" by Megan Woodward Johnson.

"The Widsom of Ordinary Things" by Cathy Nichols (me).

"Peaceful, Ordinary Day" by Christophe.
What a beautiful group of pieces for our "ordinary" theme. And thank you all so much for participating on such short notice. When the random word generator popped out "ordinary," I was disappointed at first. I thought, 'gee, isn't this the antithesis of everything I try to say in my work.' But then I started to think about how much beauty and magic exists in each "ordinary" moment. So for my painting, "The Wisdom of Ordinary Things," I looked out my window and started painting the scene. And, in the spirit of FAF's serendipities, Christophe took a photo of the same rooftop that I painted (but from the upstairs bedroom). :)
Beautiful work, everyone! And please stop by the blogs of our contributors. The artists not only posted their work, but commented on the process of each piece -- I love what everyone had to say about their paintings this week!
