As the sun peeps over the distant eastern hill and nature begins to awaken, the warmth of the sun kisses the cool morning dew on the rolling hills and creates a low dense fog hugging the ground like a fuzzy comfortable blanket. The cows begin to stir and the birds begin to sing….ahhhh….the beginning of yet another beautiful September morning.
“When I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of get-acquainted period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise, there is pure harmony, and easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.” Artist Jackson Pollock
“Chekhov advises, ‘If you want to work on your art, work on your life.’ That’s another way of saying that in order to have self-expression, we must first have a self to express.” (“The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron)
“Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music—-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.” Henry Miller
Hi guys, I’m just getting used to this new blogging thing… here’s a photo showing some of my paintings at The Factory during the Arts d’Vine event in downtown Kernersville back on June 5th. It was the first “one night” event I have participated in and it was so much fun. Met lots of interesting people and sold 4 paintings.
There will be another Arts d’Vine event coming up in October so check back for more details and come see me!
