ABC Wednesday has rolled around again and this week we look at K.
There are quite a few "K" artists and I will focus on 4 of them, very different from each other.
As well, I am sharing more photos of "Knit the Bridge"!
"Kinkade emphasizes simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his paintings. As a devout Christian, Kinkade uses his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values."
Paul Klee: He was considered both a Swiss and German painter. " His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism."
Cornelius Krieghoff: He is " probably the most popular Canadian painter of the 19th century. Krieghoff is most famous for his paintings of Canadian landscapes and Canadian life outdoors, particularly in the winter"
Knit the Bridge
I have to include some more photos of the fabulous art project that took over the bridge in downtown Cambridge! "Knit the Bridge" turned out to be such a collaborative effort of people far and wide. It was such fun to visit as well. All the knitted goods were taken down yesterday and will be washed and donated to the needy. What a worthwhile project!
(Yes those are slippers marching up the bridge!)

Amazing project for charity and acknowedging the arts. Great post for K.
I always learn something each time I visit. The knit the bridge is a fantastic project. Looks like there are a lot of knitters in the area. Nice choice for K day.
I love these photos of the Knit the Bridge project. Not only charitable but full of loving kindness.
Fascinating post - fine artists! Knit the Bridge is a superb work of beauty and community!
love the bridge!
there was a movie about Kahlo a few years back that I saw; pretty good, as I recall.

Oh my goodness ~ what a bridge..we know it will stay warm.
How nice to acknowledge those artists. I was only familiar with Thomas Kincade, but personally not a fan of his work, even though it's lovely and people love it... just not my style..I love loose watercolors.
The artists are wonderful, but I can't help loving the idea of the Knit Bridge. How my grandmother and my mother would have loved your photos of it!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I love to have visitors.

I'm glad to read that the knitting will have another purpose. The bridge will look quite ordinary once it's undressed!
One couldn't think of a more artistic "K" than this one. Well doe :-)
I think that bridge covered in knitted pieces is amazing!
Love these photos!
