What is Naive?....... Many people ask me this question. Here are a few answers that may help you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naïve art is a classification of art that is often characterized by a childlike simplicity in its subject matter and technique. While many naïve artists appear, from their works, to have little or no formal art training, this is often not true....... (Wikipedia)...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%C3%AFve_art ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are also often called 'Folk' and 'Outsider Artists'........ copy and paste this link to see an example of other Naive artist work..... http://www.outsiderart.co.uk/naive.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related Words for : naive art........... outsider art, primitive art, self-taught art, vernacular art. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- naive art ........ noun......... A genre of art and outdoor constructions made by untrained artists who do not recognize themselves as artists [syn: outsider art] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naive is pronounced nieve. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I have my 1st commissioned Painting! I will add this painting to the acrylic gallery when it is finished........... If anyone would like a painting made to order (commision) please contact me either through this website, or phone me on 01752313645 or by email......... sandy_wager@msn.com

Plymouth Twestival.......... Twestivals are held all over the world to raise money for different charities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I submitted an artwork titled 'Run From Fear', to be auctioned in aid of this years charities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Bush an awsome Abstract Artist,was very kind to accept this painting to be added to the auction. Martin has his own gallery at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My inspiration for this particular painting, 'Run From Fear' came from the horrific results of the recent earthquake in Haiti and the floods of Madeira.......... I deliberately painted the horses with textured paint to represent the crumbling of these beautiful countries and to show a sense of cold, stark reality and of a harshness of what should be beautiful........... I hope someone who attends this Twestival will fall in love with this painting and bid high!......... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celebrity auctioneer Graham Barton to host Plymouth Twestival auction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can see the painting 'Run From Fear' in my Acrylics Gallery.
