Autumn Delight Kaleidoscope Art

The Autumn Delight Kaleidoscope art series was inspired by one of the photos I used for my holiday themed posters and cards in my holiday greetings store at Zazzle and as posters at Imagekind. This series has a soft painterly texture and canvas feel. You can't really tell with the small preview, but if you click through and click again on an image at Imagekind, a large preview will open and that will give you a good idea.

Harvest Day Impasto Kaleidoscope Art

I still have to add these and the next set to Zazzle for fun gifts especially those cool ties and cards for Father's Day, but they are all at Imagekind.  I'm making a few new sets of kaleidoscope artwork to celebrate my recent TBA at Zazzle for one of my Kaleidoscope ties. I didn't make a post for those but it was another series.  I've always been surprised by what is (and what isn't)  awarded a Today's Best Award.  In any case, it doesn't really matter since I'll design, paint, draw, or photograph what I want.  :-)

The Harvest Day Impasto Kaleidoscope Art is a series of geometric designs which were inspired by the colors on a photo of pumpkins resting against a leafless tree on a lawn I saw at Morguefile.  While the photo wasn't so amazing,  I really thought the color combination was great even though in the kaleidoscopes I didn't use the pumpkin orange. The impasto is the thick painterly texture added to these artworks. You really can see the texture in either preview, but it was added.

Ocean Waves - Turquoise and Sea Green Kaleidoscope or Geometric art

This morning I was inspired to design some kaleidoscope artwork using colors in a painting of ocean waves on the coast of california. Beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Here is my favorite Ocean Waves Kaleidoscope Art 8.

Brown Tan Gold Kaleidoscope ArtCalidoscopio de Colores Café Café Claro Beige y Dorado

These great vibrant kaleidoscope artworks were fun to make. They were inspired by the colors of rocks, soil, and the warmth of the sun. I hope you enjoy them too.

Here's our featured brown, tan, and gold kaleidoscope

Great Geometric Kaleidoscope Ties as Gifts for Father's Day or Holidays

I love how my geometric abstract kaleidoscope art looks on neckties. Here are a few of my favorites as ties which make great gifts for your son's graduation, Father's Day for Dad or Grandpa, Christmas, or for his new office job. Ties are the most noticeable accessory for men, so why not have some that are unique and fun?

I took a recently made gray/black/white kaleidoscope artwork and selectively painted over parts of it.
For your viewing pleasure, here is the unpainted version.
Gray Kaleidoscope Art 31
They're both available in my Imagekind gallery. This artwork is slightly different from the others because I added a little graininess to the background. I imagined the art being part of a stone or concrete wall.
Which do you like more?

This gray or black and white kaleidoscope is one I keep going back to. I know kaleidoscope art should be colorful, but sometimes color is distracting when you want to focus on shapes and patterns.

This is one of my favorite blue kaleidoscopes from the while glowing points to the lines that look almost like chains in a circle.
