From Setting Sun to Night Wash
STRONSY ART AND DESIGN
A glowing, setting sun reflected in a glassy sea view with a tangerine stripe spanning the width of the image.
This is one of a range of scenes and images that have stunned and inspired over the years and have led to Stronsy Art and Design being shared worldwide.
Another image that has really struck me was one that I expected to be a decent enough photograph but the outcome, untouched as with all my images unless requested, was (for me at least) a dramatic stunner.
What started Stronsy Art and Design off?
That is a mystery, lost in my past but a rich tapestry of events, views and experiences have broadened the interests and provided a wealth of ideas, inspiration and sheer enjoyment for Stronsy and hopefully you, the reader.
This led to experimental art and design including the use of unusual materials and media in a flurry of exciting activities over many years.
Ideas range include the fondly loved "Oliver" story book from primary school days held together with coloured string to cotton wool stuffed embroidered butterflies hand-stitched onto canvas. Other examples are bas relief llama heads in modelling clay to acrylic cheetahs, wood sculpting to oil painted wood panels.
Satisfaction, enjoyment, fun and shared pleasure are at the heart of Stronsy Art and Design.
============================
Then of course, there have been the doodles.
When travelling on a long train journey or whiling away a spare few moments between some activity (this could be work, studies or a visit to the cinema), doodles came into their own.
Sometimes this would be almost planned.
A particularly well thought out idea might need development in one area or another.
So, a whole set of doodles would be created with variants on a theme until the idea developed the way that seemed to be the most suitable - then a more formal work would be created such as a painting, model or photographic study.
A moments inspiration could lead to doodles being added to scraps of paper, tissues, book bindings and even the palm of my hand to ensure that the creative point in time, that spark, was not lost forever and could be built on later - sometimes to great effect.
The result of a requirement for one ended up with one - so, it worked!OK - maybe not the most technically correct or inspired creation - but it's a bendy bus all the same.

FROM BENDY BUSES TO KANGAROOS

Kangaroo with Joey study...
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT - IMAGE IT
What you see is sometimes what you see...
For example when you first look at this photograph you may be inclined to think the human figures are superimposed on it for effect - but no!
Each figure is suspended in a fixed position though they look, in a still image, like they are falling though that is the intention.
Do have a look at lots more images as applied to a wide variety of items - just follow this Stronsy link.
NO, you don't have to buy anything - though once you have looked you may just want to.
