Art Ideas and Discussion for Painters
About This Blog
This is a place for artists to discuss ideas, philosophies and inspiration they find as they work and look at art.
As an English major, I received a scattershot education in art history. Now I feel I am madly playing catch-up, trying to race through hundreds of years of art in order to understand what I see. This blog is just a chronicle of those attempts to look at a lot of art and try to learn from it. I suppose the ultimate goal is to catch up with the present so I can appreciate the art being made today,(formaldehyde sharks notwithstanding).
Making art can be isolating. In the short time since I started this, I have found that reading about artists of the past has made me feel strangely connected to them, at least in their struggles and setbacks if nothing else. So many worked so hard and made very slow progress. I will be grateful for your thoughts and ideas.
Postings will appear 2 - 3 times a week, depending upon the chaos in the house. (My artwork can be seen at www.suzannedecuirfineart.com)
