My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon!

Modern Pakistani Art
I mentioned my friend has a large collection of Pakistani art. She and her husband live in Karachi half the year and the other half in Minneapolis. Their walls are filled with modern art from local artists from Pakistan. I especially loved this one with four nudes.
Here is a link for more info on art from that part of the world that I am now discovering.
And here's a link about their amazingly decorated buses and cars in Pakistan!
This is very cool. Subject really is second in this. The color and everything is wonderfully bold. Thanks for the comment on my vegetables. It is a fun one.

Now that does command an audience! Wow, what an eye catching piece!
I must confess I know nothing about Pakistani modern art... Thank you for the link, Sheila!

Thanks for the excellent link Sheila, and love your sketches on your last blog too!
Thanks for the links, Sheila!
Like JM, I don't know much about Pakistani art either.
Thanks for sharing what you learned with us!

Fascinating story, Sheila...
I've always enjoyed paintings executed in the style of the Fauves. This one is bright and exciting to look at
