"Butterfly & Melons"

Copyright 2008 Turtel Onli, oils 18" X 24" is a new Rhythmistic painting that makes subtle suggestions about the delicate balance in nature. Here the subject is wearing motifs for the Sun, Earth, and Water while she gazes at us. Is this gaze a call to action or inaction? Is she at one with this balance of nature? What is her relationship to the items that surround her? Watermelons are powerful symbols in a variety of world cultures and are unique in flavor, color, and nutritional value. Do you know of any symbolic or aesthetic uses or interpretations of the watermelon?

In the past Onli created politically charged watermelon themed artwork to raise consciousness about certain controversial issues associated with this icon. This new collection has a diverse and universal tone to it.

Rhythmistic Fine Art has tremendous growth potential.

Given the state of our economy this is a collectors' market for fine art purchasing.

People collect art because they like it or want it. Because they make a spiritual or emotional connection with the artwork. Because it reflects their values or status. Because it compliments their decor or ambiance. Because of its importance in the growth of art movements or the pedigree of the artist who created the work.

Or for all of the above.

Why should your art collection look like everyone else's when you are you? You are an individual. Hard working and deserving of expanding your collection in ways that reflect your intelligence, values, ideals, and status. Be sure to look through the archives in this blog for more art samples and information. Feel free to leave comments too.

Onli, a universal modern master, will create art based on your tastes, input, direction, and vision.
