Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

藝苑掇英 Rochelle Blumenfeld 羅謝爾·布魯門菲爾德 (1936) Abstract Expressionism Abstract Art United States
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Rochelle Blumenfeld is an award winning artist from Pittsburgh, PA. Her paintings are represented in many private and public collections including the Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has had numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. Her work has been included in the Bicentennial Exhibit of “American Painters in Paris” in Paris, France, Copley Society, Boston, Dunferline Fife, Scotland, and the Westmoreland Museum of Art, Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
My Notes
I have been exhibiting my paintings throughout the United States and Europe for some time. They are included in many collections (See Shows/Awards). I like a large canvas because it gives me room to reach and to stretch. I like the act, the physicality of painting and I try to reflect that in my work. The shapes I create bend and twist, push and pull as people do. The pillars in “Bridges” support each other at the paintings focal point. My paintings are my own worlds, ones that I can control. Although my works are sometime non-representational, they like the world around us are composed of motion, light, and space. “Begin Again” is a good example of a painting in constant motion.
Another path that I take in my work reflects the shapes of the natural world. Many of my paintings are inspired by flowers, moonlight, sun, storms, mountains, etc. These paintings create another solid and sedentary; they move when the light changes and plays on their surfaces. “Skylights” is a darker painting with light, perhaps lightning coming through the clouds and lighting up a portion of the mountains, while leaving the rest in shadow.
I use a strong diagonal thrust to add power to the motion. I work by applying many layers of paint to the canvas, building a complex surface of planes and color. Visually I like the sense of depth that I can get from this technique and thematically it reflects the way I see the world. Often my paintings are diptychs or tripychs or more. It helps me tell my story and makes shipping easier.
As you look through Fine Art Gallery, please keep in mind that I often paint on commission and that doing so is a challenge I welcome. Contact me for commission requests.
Some of the paintings are re-created on canvas, using a a very fine method, called Giclee. Each painting is custom made as orders are received. All giclee re-creations are hand-signed and numbered. They arrive ready to hang. I will apply some hand painting to the canvas, to enhance the image and add to its individuality.
羅謝爾·布魯門菲爾德 Rochelle Blumenfeld是來自賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡的獲獎藝術家。她的畫作出現在許多私人和公共收藏中，包括賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡的卡內基藝術博物館。她曾在美國和歐洲舉辦過多次展覽。她的作品被收錄在法國巴黎的“巴黎美國畫家”，波士頓科普利協會，蘇格蘭Dunferline Fife以及賓夕法尼亞州格林斯堡的威斯特摩蘭藝術博物館的二百週年展覽中。
我的注意事項
一段時間以來，我一直在美國和歐洲展出我的畫作。它們包含在許多館藏中（參見演出/獎項）。我喜歡大帆布，因為它給了我伸手可及的空間。我喜歡這種行為，繪畫的肉體，我試圖在我的作品中反映出來。我創造的形狀像人一樣彎曲和扭曲，推拉。 “橋樑”中的支柱在繪畫焦點處相互支持。我的畫是我自己的世界，我可以控制的世界。雖然我的作品有時不具有代表性，但他們喜歡我們周圍的世界是由運動，光和空間組成的。 “再次開始”是一個不斷運動的繪畫的好例子。
我在作品中的另一條路徑反映了自然界的形態。我的許多畫作都受到鮮花，月光，太陽，風暴，山脈等的啟發。這些畫作創造了另一種堅固和久坐;它們在光線變化並在其表面上播放時移動。 “天窗”是一幅帶有光線的深色繪畫，可能閃電穿過雲層照亮一部分山脈，而剩下的則留在陰影中。
我使用強大的對角線推力為動作增加力量。我通過在畫布上應用多層油漆來工作，構建一個複雜的平面和顏色表面。從視覺上來說，我喜歡從這種技術中獲得的深度感，而主題則反映了我對世界的看法。通常我的畫作是雙聯畫或三聯畫或更多。它可以幫助我講述我的故事並使運輸更容易。
當您瀏覽美術館時，請記住我經常在委託上畫畫，這樣做是我歡迎的挑戰。聯繫我以獲取佣金請求。
一些畫作是在畫布上重新創作的，使用了一種非常精細的方法，稱為Giclee。每張油畫都是在收到訂單時定制的。所有giclee重新創作都是手工簽名和編號。他們準備好了。我會將一些手繪畫應用到畫布上，以增強圖像並增添其個性。
