Colorful Blur



Although the picture did not turn out the greatest, you can still make out the image of the people painted in using colorful blotches. It looks as though there are two adults and a child. Maybe it is just me, but one of the figures looks to be topless. The painting is abstract and even close up, the colors blur together. Instead of straight lines, the artist used a variety of colors to create the fuzzy effect.

Abstract Ribbons



This painting was one of my favorites. I love the whimsical feel of the curved lines and the bright feeling of the different colors. The lines appear to have dimension and are dancing around on a blank canvas. Although the painting is abstract and does not represent anything real; I still think it is a fun piece that can brighten the dullest days.

Landscape Paintings



The first painting is a river bed flowing through an open area of plants. Not only was I impressed by how realistic the painting looked, but also by the concept of the painting all together. That just below the surface of all the plants ran a river down the middle. The second painting is of a beach front. In the background of the picture captures several hilly valleys while a bird soared in the sky. This painting was very pleasant and picturesque, but it felt a little too well planned out.

Geometric Painting



This artist did an amazing job using vibrant colors with dramatic triangular shapes to create the figure of a woman. Cool greens and warm oranges work in harmony to create a balanced portrait. Not only is the color particularly appealing, but also the repeated shapes that seem to be transparent in some areas with the use of color. The painting is very intricate and complex in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Bird Fountain


A little went a long way in creating this bird fountain. A pool was cleverly decorated with fake stones and greener to give it that cozy park feel. Simply add in a few flowers for color, some extra trees, and some grass here and there for an inviting way for art to meet the outside world.

Arts in the Park Banner


The title says it all. Using fake trees, synthetic grass, and bird fountains, Northeastern really brought the picturesque utopia indoors. Not only is there a cozy, relaxing atmosphere to lounge in, but also there is amazing artwork to appreciate.

Husky Pride



Even the traditional husky was painted and dressed up in an artistic manner. Although from the picture the husky looks to be painted with a variety of colors, a close examination will reveal that the husky is actually painted with a mosaic of peoples pictures. The entire husky is covered in colorful pictures. He even sports a pair of shades, and will bark on cue (push of a button).
