Berlin, Germany

Christy Heyob writes, “At first glance, from a distance, I thought I was looking at an image that incorporated a form of Pointillism. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that artist Matthew Davis’ paintings display more than just a multitude of dots. The works require far more attention and patience to construct. (Keep in mind: Pointillism is not quick and easy.)

Davis’ time-consuming, yet effective technique involves dripping drops of oil paints in layers. Between each layer, the artist waits for the paints to fully dry. The amount of time spent waiting for each layer to dry coupled with the time and precision to create the rippling swarm of circles in each image is incredible.

On top of all of that, Davis utilizes a wide range of colors you wouldn’t think to include and it works brilliantly! A blue pool of water is adorned with swirls of reds and greens. A dark night sky is bubbled with rings of whites, oranges, yellows. It seems like everything has every color in it, yet one subject is distinguishable from another. Really remarkable work! “

Berlin, Germany

The place is in Berlin. It´s an open-air swimming pool in Kreuzberg, which is a little bit famous here, because of this documentary film. During the summer I went swimming there, because it was in my neighborhood. The heating was broken. That´s why the water really, really was cold. But I loved it.

Glad you made the best of it

” Last summer, I tried to free my little plants from green flies. I simply had to try everything: chemical weapons, biological weapons and just ordinary weapons.”

Hope it worked out for you!

Regensburg, Germany

Excellent and very touching photo.

Ryan writes, “After a bit of a bad day, it’s nice to let your emotions come out on your blog. A form of expression like drawing, painting and music alike.  It’s good to get an important message such as this out on the page. With a little look at where your feet may take you… here’s hoping the world can change for the better. :]

Your feet and eyes help you to see the world, but love truly makes the world go round.”

Yes, how true and unique photo; great!
