art tymz: lady loves

Two beautiful Australian artists that focus on similar themes of women and beauty- Del Kathyrn Barton and Abbey McCulloch. I like the different approaches they both have, one very detailed and colourful with crazy rich surrealist dreams and the other sketchy and sinister with washes of colour but still capturing the essence of the idea in it's incomplete, imperfectly perfect state. Anyway enough of my stupid rambling-

Some more in depth videos:

Del Kathryn Barton on Artscape, she sounds very interesting..........

Abbey McCulloch on Art Nation (greatest show ever) a few weeks ago, she is such a sweetheart. 

Her inspiration from magazines/fashion/photography/women and perfection is really interesting.

I would really like to own at least one of these womens' paintings in my life OR be able to make things this beautiful. Both would be the preferable outcome here.

(also I'm sorry I didn't put the titles etc. of the pieces but I did figure out how to image search by uploading a picture so you can always try that if you like- THE WONDERS OF THE INTERNET!)
