A Painting a Day Trip


A day at the seaside, a journey if you like a creative journey..two old folk sat in their deckchairs wathing the world speed by the sun setting on their dreams and asperations, Unlike still life paintings which dipicts inanimate objects i mean it wasn't untill the Renaissance that it appeared in it's own right rather than just a prop! so for hundreds of years wev'e been painting dead duck's and cabbages..

Painting a tart


If you paint a strawberry tart that's it!..there's no story,naration,mood,atmosphere you can't identify with having been there or felt like that, it is simply an object..would you hang a pickled onion on your wall it may be well done but hardly a talking point, oh look an onion yeh right!

What happened to he looks sad or it makes me happy or i feel i know him.

A painting now and then


It's strange how some paintings take forever, and get few comments and others seem to take 5 mins and are appreciated, maybe it's like constable's oil sketches now regarded by many as superiour to his polished peices where he slaved over them for months.., there's no ryme or reason to art, drive's you bloody mad!

what people want


quote..
The bloggers are just "a little blip in the art world, something that will fill a niche for those people who want to buy something real and not just a poster."

Like anything of note..eg ROME it wasn't made in a bloody day! Looking through these one day masterpeices, it becomes apparent why most decent thing's take a little longer..it's a bit like you think you sound like Pavaroti when your singing along in the car but sadly to everyone else you don't..probably because he's spent years working and training his voice,but you instantly strike sound,and think how hard can it be, huh. Everybodies an artist RIGHT! Maybe genuine struggling artists out there might want to try one med painting a week,..whether or not it matters not a jot, i for my part will give it a go..
