FEATURED ARTIST: Original Art by Laurel Thorndike paints original art, illustration, photography, fantasy portraits, and even logo design. Here are some words from Laurel, herself: Lately I have been experimenting with a very illustrative style. Using images & feelings as a writer would use words to bring characters to life Suggesting a possible story or building from existing ones. Drawing inspiration from Celtic myths & legends as well as music, nature, personal emotions and experiences including 14 years of dance training! Her desire to paint lead her to artist Julie Hall Rocke in 1992 with whom she studied painting in various mediums such as oil, acrylic, and more recently watercolor. She loves experimenting with different colors and textures. Inspiring artists & art periods include Art Nouveaus Alphonse Mucha and Maxfield Parrish. Pre-Raphaelites such as Waterhouse, Holman Hunt, Leighton. Portrait painters John Singer Sargent and Julio Romero de Torres. Symbolists such as Jean Delville and Carlos Schwabe.
