3/21/11- Steve Bloom

Steve Bloom is an artist out of Reno Nevada who has sort of captivated me today. Since I plan to travel to Reno soon, I hope to possibly see some of his work while I'm down there. He paints with alot of oils and dyes. His vivid colors attract me. I am a vivid color type of person. I enjoy stuff lacking in color, but it is harder for me to get into than a pretty piece full of color- regardless the meaning.

This piece was actually the poster work for Reno's Artown, which was featured recently. Artown is an event that runs for the entirety of the month of July in Reno Nevada. I imagine that this piece was there in full size rather than just on the poster for the event. I love the blending and use of deep purples that contrast with the greens and compliment the yellows. This picture by Steve Bloom is absolutely beautiful. There are actually 2 men online featured as artists under the name Steve Bloom, to make sure you get the right one, he isn't the one who lives in Africa (obviously)
