Two years ago during the East Side Cultural Crawl a man came to visit my studio and we sat on a quite Sunday morning talking about what it was like to be an artist. He had a large successful advertising company downtown but really missed creating your own art, his wife told him he should give it all up to paint. He told me that I was the one that got away because I was till doing it. I told him I still had no money to speak of.
Recently I have started to feel yes like the one who did get away and to be eternally grateful for it.
Especailly since I have started to do these painted landscapes. I go search out a great view with my folding chair then I sit and draw for a study I'll take home and paint. There is incredible freedom in this because I 'm choosing what to draw what is important or beautiful for me. Nothing unexpected difficult or disrupting goes in my Landscapes.
I'll share them with you when they are done.
