| Introduction | A self-taught painter inspired by early to mid 20th century American impressionist and modernist art. I began painting in December 2009 after years of looking at art and not touching a brush. Please offer comments, suggestions, or real advice. It is impossible to offend me. Leave me a comment here and I will get back to you. Here are great quotes from George Bellows: "I am always very amused with people who talk about lack of subjects for painting. The great difficulty is that you can not stop to sort them out enough. Wherever you go they are waiting for you … It seems to me that an artist must be a spectator of life; a reverential, enthusiastic, emotional spectator, and then the great dramas of human nature will surge through his mind." "There is a strange disease in people's minds which makes them imagine themselves as arbiters of beauty, and creates a constant and foolish demand that pictures be all 'pretty'. As if Shakespeare had always gone around writing love sonnets." |
