George McKim - Explosions of Color

George McKim is the award winning fine artist who shows and sells his work online at http://GeorgeMcKim.etsy.com. His work is exuberantly colorful, passionate, and intelligent, just the thing to enjoy on a snowy winters day like today.

A case in point is "Vacation" the abstract collage heading this article, that is inspired by nature.

Raleigh, NC based, George did his postgraduate study at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, has had six solo exhibitions and is represented by six galleries. The galleries include, Kipton Art, New York, NY, Art Reach, Albuquerque, NM, Eric Schindler Gallery, Richmond, VA, Art Source Gallery and Lee Hansley Gallery, both of Raleigh, NC. In Philadelphia (where I'm based) he is represented by the well respected Snyderman-Works Gallery. You can find his complete artist c.v. on the Profile page at his site.The print above is a Linoleum block print of a sunflower, in 2 colors, the background is printed a solid light green and the image is printed a dark green. 11" x 15" paper size and the paper is acid free artists paper. George has other prints of this image in different colors on his site. And here is "Flower Abstraction 2" a mixed media collage on paper based on the image of a flower.And here is "Springtime Explosion," a riot of lines, shapes and colors in this collage - another image inspired by a flower.

An easy way to get started collecting George's work is with artist print note cards. He offers note cards from any of his images (you can mix and match) including images from his website, http://www.george-mckim.com, where you can see a more complete representation of his current work. Note Cards are $3 each or buy a set of 5 for $12. Wouldn't these be a pleasure to have on your walls?

He also maintains a blog where he writes features about the Etsy artists and designers participating in the "90 Features in 90 Days Challenge." Check it out at http://www.georgemckim.blogspot.com.
