paintings by marla (age 4)

(oceans)


I watched a documentary recently about a young girl that is a famous abstract artist called marla olmstead.by the age of 4 her work was being sold for thousands of dollars. abstract art is a personal favourite of mine. I was very impressed with the strong colour balance and the interesting shapes being created in her designs. her success be came controversial and many people thought it was her farther helping her.after months of criticism her parents video taped her painting for 60 minutes to show the dis-believers that she is the creator of her abstract paintings. this painting was called 'ocean' and became an icon painting for her. they have a sense of being free, fun and painting spontaneous
(the art of living the moment).
