Aboriginal Art Study, Encounters Little Blue Spaceman.

Aboriginal Landscape  C.T. Rasmuss, acrylic (Feb. 2014).

This here is my career in Aboriginal Art, defined as a type of art native to the Australian Aboriginals.
   Here below are a few of my favorite examples, of which I encountered online:



This next one shows an Aboriginal artist at work:



After figuring out the rudimentary idea of the process, I embarked upon my own style, with the intention of adapting this style to a western theme; hence the simple landscape with trees:

Aboriginal Landscape Step 1  C.T.Rasmuss, acrylic (Feb.2014).


In the end I realized that I'm simply not an Aborigine, and that there is much more to this art form, than meets the eye!  I appreciate it for what it is, as it's based on more than 30,000 years of their art history; and as an artist I realize that this is just not in my instinct, this form of painting;  I feel some similarities in the process, but it is not me, and at least now I know.

PLUS how would I have ever encountered this: "Little Blue Spaceman" in my palette, in this particular process of discovery?!



The end.
