new beginnings : going to new york was an eye opener, the atmosphere inside the metropolitan museum is no other, i constantly look for new paintings that inspire me from different artist many who are contemporary painters but yet for every artist there is a reference to one of the master.
but the feeling of standing in front of so many Rembrandt's is over whelming that it brought me to tears, making want to just sit there for hours, i spent 3 hours in the painting section and it felt like 30 minutes. My experience of new york is like many, felt like i belonged like , that was my city that miami was a distant memory.
and now im back, it has been sometime and i have start a new study but along my search for images for this short story im writing that will turn into a comic, i ran across a painter i have long forgotten but has sparked some new interest in, Alex Kanevsky, he uses a technique of layering on his painting but it still hard for me to comprehend how he get his final results but i could look at the painting and try to figure out because that bring pleasure to me . It's been some time since ive painted , i did last week but i need more , starting again is the hardest part but once i feel comfortable i cant live without painting. In a Month i will post all my new works finish and unfinished.
this brings me my final thoughts of tonight, the bravo show "Work of art" possibly a show that could have had some real merit but in my opinion it lack all merit, the artist are not the issues but everything else, the judges and the high school type challenges, it never feel like any of these artist play to their best, many of the work feel subpar to what each is capable of doing. my opinion of the winner would be between abdi and miles, both are very rounded and is what the judges want, while everyone else is very specialized to what they already do.
til next time.
