This is my first blog on my new website.....YAY.....

 

Art comes in all sizes, styles, subjects, framed for the wall, unframed until ....or not framed at all.  Over the ages, artists craved to create.

Prior to modern times, to see a painting meant that one had to go to a museum, or anyplace with art hanging to actually see art. But still, artists were creating and these created things were somewhere.  Located mostly where people never saw them. 

 

I was strictly a watercolor artist until 2 years ago when I decided to see how painting with oils would be for me.  I began going to a weekly painting group and I was able to see how other painters paint, and learn something from each of them....like the old Masters did!

 

Now, as I reflect back.....I think about Why am I drawn to this subject?  Why am I seeing this particular sparkly of light here and not there?

What is my goal with this artwork?  

 

While thinking deeply about my art as well as others art....I came to a conclusion.  I am only painting to get better at painting and to portray my subject in a way that it is authentic to what drew me there to begin with.  I hope others enjoy it, connect with it....I cannot guess whether it will resonnate with another person or not...I hope so, but that was not my focus.  My paintings are all for me...and I like to share them with others.   The process it the most important part to me....getting better.
