For accompanying music click
on:
Andy Warhol's pop art style
features high-contrast color paintings
and have captivated art lovers since the
1960s.
Posterization is
an effect that uses a limited color palette.
A posterized image doesn't have subtle
gradients or continuous tones;
as you
can see there's no smooth transition from one
color to the next,
but abrupt changes
from one tone to another.
I tried to posterize OBAMA earlier,
but as you can see, there's still depth and
perspective:
I posterized a photographic image of John
Lennon to give it a stylized line art
appearance.
It's harder than you think to paint an image as
flat as a pancake with no depth at all!
Will be part of an exhibit at the Academy of Lifelong Learning
University of Delaware, Wilmington Campus
May 3 - 7, 2010
After the show this painting will be proudly hanging
in my daughter's and her future husband's apartment
in New York city, close to the apartment John Lennon used to live.

Hi Olga, ik zie dit mooie schilderij nou pas, we zijn Koninginnedag wezen vieren.:) Wat een meesterwerk met die prachtige strakke lijnen. Zoals je al zegt, niet makkelijk en heel knap gedaan! De gelijkenis is ook fantastisch! Mijn POD!! :)Mary Janosik 30 Apr 2010
Excellent work of art, Olga!!! Very soulful!!!Jan de Jong 30 Apr 2010
Hi Olga, what a great portrait! Lennon was and still is one of my (working class) heroes. I love his views on life and the world in common. This goes back from the sixties and further during the period that he was on his own and after his terrible death until now. The man was great and still is. He's an example for a few generations and should be for many a politician!Calvin McFarlane 30 Apr 2010
