4 Seasons. A Beautiful Piece from my new home in Thailand.

4 Seasons from Nestrasentra

This beautiful peice of art comes from Nestrasentra on Deviantart. The colors are amazing, and attempting to translate his Thai to English, it was part of his theme to pick a season, and incorporate many colors. I say he succeeded.

Be sure to check more of his amazing digital art in his Deviant Art Gallery. Certainly worth a watch.

Heres some great art news for all those hoping to make a little money from selling their artwork. Maybe you can get a pop-icon to buy it from you. This story comes from Sky News:

Singer Lionel Richie has capped off his Australian tour by purchasing a number of local art works.

Really makes you think, huh? Certainly one way to visualize that smoking kills. I guess its a form of murder and suicide when you think about it. You use a gun to shoot others and yourself. Art has some powerful messages.
