I probably see the last one most often-super tight work out clothes are prevalent at our local grocery store, haha. And the ART! I absolutely love it. It has so much depth to it and the colors are magical. Hope you had a great week Ali!

For one, the color scheme in "When Fact and Fable Collide" is flawless. There's a perfect balance of warm and cool colors. And for all of them, they appear to be of mixed mediums when they're all oil--deceiving in the best way! The best part is that these are interpretive, though. Each one evokes a different feeling. For example, "The Organisms are Introduced to Cotton Candy" makes me feel calm with a dark undertone. For some reason, it reminds me of the deep, dark, and mysterious ocean.<br /><br />As for grocery shoppers, I'm totally the old woman inspecting the lettuce. It literally takes me half an hour to decide on one item. <br /><br />Keep up the fab work, dear Ali!Lily Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976738246119550732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402586630342312864.post-16932863853997161772015-01-08T11:36:48.723-06:002015-01-08T11:36:48.723-06:00These are so beautiful, I love that you are postin...These are so beautiful, I love that you are posting more art!

Sometimes, you need to physically be there to see and comprehend what you're looking at.<br /><br />Anyway, Ali, you need to write a book. Just a random book that's filled with your thoughts and quirky, fantastic analogies. Haha, this grocery shopping post is fantastic and had me laughing out loud on the old couple comparison. SO TRUE! Poor old husband...he's been beaten by time and his wife's stubbornness xD<br /><br />I'd be a mix of the robot shopper and post-workout chick. Haha, that's usually when I go grocery shopping!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thedragonfruitdiaries.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> The Dragonfruit Diaries </a><br /><a href="http://thedragonfruitdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/12/giveaway-win-free-pair-of-glasses-from.html" rel="nofollow"> Enter to win a FREE pair of glasses from Polette! </a>The Dragonfruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413499329837924150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402586630342312864.post-66527247158851342712015-01-07T23:35:37.075-06:002015-01-07T23:35:37.075-06:00I tend to use a basket, myself :)

Also, because groceries are serious business as what goes into my belly matters greatly to me because delicious things are important. <br /><br />Also, I appreciate the titles you give your art. They make your art infinitely greater, if that's even possible. <br /><br />Jen Hsiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016102113911779806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402586630342312864.post-59285290920469588922015-01-06T20:29:29.847-06:002015-01-06T20:29:29.847-06:00this is gorgeous work!

I like an occasional drink or two, but I've never actually been drunk and I'm most certainly not the kind of girl that goes partying every weekend. I love the kind of parties where only my bed, snacks and Netflix are invited.<br /><br />As for the whole grocery shopping thing, I thought I was the only one who compares it to driving. I don't have a driving license, so sometimes I grab a cart and start thinking 'okay, let's see, what kind of a driver would I be?' as I try to get to the next alley without hitting other carts standing in the way. One of the shopper types that I noticed are people who shove their cart in your butt as you're standing in the checkout line- it can happen once accidentally, but when they do it a couple of times in a row, it gets super annoying!<br /><br />By the way, I followed you on Bloglovin and I can't wait to read more posts! x<br /><br />http://thedashingdiaries.comDominika | Into the Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031548698142951363noreply@blogger.com
