I can’t believe I haven’t entered any events this year. It always seems something else took precedence over talking about us. But it was a good year. In particular,I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the joy in continue to have in working with my classes. The interesting and delightful people who wish to learn how to become better painters gives me such pleasure. It is a thrill to watch and listen (lead and suggest) as they discover new or dormant resources within themselves. I may gain more than they. And I thank them. How can I ever stop when it is such fun?
At this busy time of year, we also take time for reflection. My question for you is for you to reflect on what kind of artist you are or wish to be.
Most say they want to paint looser. They want to understand color better, become a better colorist. But WHAT is it that you represent when you paint?
I want you to think about whether or not you are a regional artist and by that, what do I mean?
