Happy Birthday, Jyoti Bhatt


Jyoti Bhatt, born in 1934, celebrated a birthday yesterday. Wikipedia describes him as "an Indian artist best known for his modernist work in painting and printmaking and also his photographic documentation of rural Indian culture". WikiArt has examples of his striking work.

I see a teapot in the piece at the top of the post and am sharing it with the participants in T is for Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

*******
ATCs

I used an old Pick-a-Stick challenge (extend, add lace, use a map) to inspire this card (outside first, then the inside):


The prompts for these were Purple and Green:


This is a pair:


suitable for the T Stand for Tuesday gathering.

These were just random:


Both of these were inspired by the prompt Vehicle:



Clean and simple, and two colors:


but I don't think I had enough paint on the brush for the "clean" part. These little ATCs take more paint than I'd have thought.

These used backgrounds I made using prompts I found online:


The prompt for the left background was Echo and for the right Chaos.

Round:


That card itself is shaped, with a rounded top.

This card:


uses a background created using an Orange prompt.

  3. I saw the teapot also in that quilted art piece. I like your Round art - again I think it's a very good life motivation piece.

  10. Your ATCs are wonderful! I do enjoy when you feature artists, but you had me addicted to watching westerns! Now, while I craft I watch an old western like the Jimmy Stewart or Randolph Scott ones. Happy T Day

  11. Great artwork on your ATCs again, I found them quite small to work on but I think I tried to put too much detail on a small space!
    Enjoy your week

  18. What a lovely painting by Jyoti Bhatt. The dots remind me of Australian aboriginal art. I love the colours and the whole composition.
    Your ATCs are fun. It is great that you follow the prompts.
    Happy (belated) T-Day,

  21. OMGoodness, I am SO far behind. I can't believe I need to catch up this much. My sincere apologies. I LOVE that painting. It had so many wonderful coffee and tea references. It was a perfect find for that T post.

    I really LOVED some of your ATCs. Of course, the tea and coffee were great and the tea was hilarious. Possibly my other favorite was "Between." Great balance and wonderful coloring.
