Mother of Civilization

May 20, 2020 by Rob Medley

Around 12,000 years ago, while the men were out hunting dwindling big game, a #woman noticed that seeds from wild gatherings dumped on a trash pile began to grow. She took these seeds, planted & tended them, and soon had enough food to more than meet the tribes needs. This pivotal moment for #mankind allowed us to settle down, grow in population, create a #society and do all the glitzier things that followed. Everything from the Roman Coliseum to the Voyager spacecraft, now in interstellar space, would not have been possible without this un-named woman, who, by chance, discovered #farming – #art #digitalart #digitalartist #new #sunset #wheat #history #civilization

Untitled Egypt-like Thème

May 18, 2020 by Rob Medley

I don’t have a title for this, it’s simply an #egytian like theme involving a #beautiful #pharoah like ruler, maybe a candid shot of #Nefertiti if one stretches it and forgets all the fashion, culture, and standard icons of ancient Egypt (it’s #farby ). Maybe it can be representative of an Egyptian influenced outer state such as somewhere near Somalia or something? As I said before, I create the first weird thing that pops into mind when I put in the time. #art #artwork #digital #digitalartist #new #illustration #render #fantasyart

The Beholder

The Beholder. First thing that popped into my mind when I sat down to #create is really a continuation of yesterday’s #art in #miniature – here we have a twist on the saying #beauty is in the #eye of the #beholder – the beholder being #nano #bots – it’s also because one of the coolest things one can #artistically produce is the #iris – a world unto itself. I guess the scene is #horror at first glance, unless you take into account the #ants may just be admiring nature’s wonders as we humans do a placid lake or landscape. #digitalart #digitalartist #new #humanscape #closeup

Test of Faith

January 22, 2017October 15, 2016 by Rob Medley

A cold winter evening, somewhere in the city. On the roof of a nondescript tenement, a life is about to end… or is it about to begin?

Every artist does a religious painting at some point (at least the ones I follow), so here is my contribution to that lexicon of beauty.

Firefly

January 22, 2017June 25, 2016 by Rob Medley

A colorful mixed media artwork featuring a large painted tree with square panels integrated into it. Each panel has illuminated cut-out designs, including a cluster of grapes, a leaf arrangement, and a tree. One panel includes glowing lights resembling fireflies dancing over a moss texture.

Firefly is a 36″ x 48″ 3D sculpture / painting utilizing acrylic paint, multiple canvases, mirrors, LED lighting (Solar or electrical power) tissue wrap paper, model railroad foliage (branches) and fake grass. Evocative of a Midsummer Night, this piece draws on unconventional landscape effects to bring the composition to life. This is for sale. I’m asking $999.00. It may seem like a lot, but it allows me to eat and create art in an expensive area.

A side view of an abstract art installation featuring green and red swirls, small black blocks, and a patch of artificial grass with tiny lights resembling fireflies. The background includes plastic sheeting and various art supplies, contributing to a creative studio environment.

Thin transparent plastic sheets drape across a wall, with a variety of dried, orange and brown plants peeking from the right side of the frame. The scene is dimly lit, with a few firefly-like glimmers adding to the moody and abstract visual.

A painting on a canvas depicts a crescent moon partially obscured by dark, wispy clouds. The background consists of shades of deep purple, accented by the subtle glow of a firefly. The painting is placed on a green surface with a sprig of dried, reddish foliage on the left side.

A dark surface with a cutout design of an abstract floral pattern is illuminated from behind, much like the glow of a firefly at dusk. The light shines through the cutout, creating a contrast with the dark background and highlighting the intricate details of the design.

An abstract artwork shows a bunch of grapes and leaves cut out from a black background. Golden lines and green light shine through the cut-out shapes, creating a glowing effect reminiscent of fireflies illuminating the grape cluster and foliage design.

A rectangular black canvas features a tree cut-out design at its center, revealing vibrant, colorful patterns from a different layer beneath. The stylized tree, with multiple leaves and an abstract form, almost glimmers like a firefly. The edges are adorned with touches of red and green.

A square patch of dense green foliage, illuminated by small, scattered white fairy lights, glows against a dark, blurred background with green and red hues. The lights create a warm, glimmering effect among the leaves, reminiscent of fireflies on a summer night.

A rectangular canvas with dark, abstract brushstrokes is mounted on a wall with vibrant, swirling green and yellow patterns, reminiscent of a firefly's glow. The canvas features a variety of shades, predominantly dark colors with hints of green and yellow.

A vibrant painting features a large tree with multicolored leaves. Two black squares with intricate cut-out designs, one of a grape cluster and the other of a floral pattern, are placed on the tree. A small crescent moon illuminates the night sky in the top right corner as fireflies dance around.
