Ed's Art Workshop is Redone, Also Discussing Dakar and New Painting

I am pleased to announce that my official gallery website Ed's Art Workshop has finally been redone, with some of my newer work being previewed there. My older work will eventually be archived at the site, but for now I am pleased to slowly roll out pics of my artwork from the past couple of years. I have been discussing this in the past several posts. I will release more previews week by week so check back in here and at the gallery for updates. 

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to travel to Dakar, Senegal. Having never been to Africa, this was of course quite an experience for me. This is one of the watercolors I did when I came back home after the trip was over. There are a lot of artists in Dakar and I met some of them during my stay there.

In various places throughout Dakar, one can find many colorful designs. I found it refreshingly like my own artistic sense; interesting designs and forms in bright colors. A good example are all the transport buses around the city. They can be very full sometimes. See my photo below,..... I took a lot of photos while I was there so I could preview some more of them here in future posts at Modern Art Quotes.

Each driver customizes his vehicle in a different way. A lot of the same color and design motifs are used from bus to bus, but with a lot of personal variation added in.
