In my last show at the Studio Gallery, my talk was scheduled the same evening as a playoff game between the Giants and some rival team.This time I won't be competing with any sporting events that I'm aware of, and hopefully the weather will curtail its recent outbursts, so there will be some folks willing to make a trip to the gallery this evening at 7.
I've got a range of work in the show of what I might call the usual suspects and terrain, which will be the basis of my talk. I'll try to explain what it is that draws me to paint what I do, and also go into the issue of my evolving studio efforts, and what I can get out of that process that I can't get in nature (and vice versa). I welcome hecklers and those that ask questions, along with the polite listeners. And, of course, as a bonus, all the secrets of Art will be revealed.... Hope to see there!
You have no idea how much I wish I could be there
ReplyDeleteGood luck tonight, and I hope all goes well--better, in fact!
Hi Ida, Good to hear from you! The talk was pretty well attended for an evening of downpours, thunder and lightning. I gave sort of the bouillion cube, cliff notes version of my workshop in about an hour and change. Plenty of questions, so a good group of folks in attendance, from students to collectors, co-workers, friends, and the like. Fun! Wish you could have been there.
ReplyDeleteMr WD40 here,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing tips
failed to comment on your art: find it inspirational
have been doing 3D CAD professionally but find tactile experience of soft pastel landscapes compelling; although it does mess up my hands-dermitologist made recommendations but have settled on beeswax hand cream instead
will try to be less object oriented and take things more lightly
would be interested in knowing more about your workshops
Wow, you are such a master of colour and light.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, inviting feel to this painting; intriguing. Love the ticks of light in the trees on the right.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are astounding. I checked the Gallery website and saw the images. Amazing pastels, they glow.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to Coyote Hills in June!
