Have just returned from a marvelous week studying fauve style painting in oils with the very talented Paul McCarthy. What a week it was! Paul is the original court jester and we had a stream of students from other classes at Grafton Artsfest wandering in to investigate the laughter emanating from our group. 50 tutors and 6 days of mayhem- gotta love that! This still life was set up on the classroom floor, was around 1.5 metres across, and we all painted just a part of it. I always thought still life was a s boring as batshit- but WRONG!!!! The bit that really did my head in was that the class was held in the very art room where I realised during high school that I am an artist….. 32 years ago.
So pleased you had a wonderful time, isn’t it amazing how things happen, and yes you are an artist and a brilliant one at that. This painting is so full of life, love it !!! xx
Hmmmmmm!!!! Definitely got the WOW factor happening with this one Deb! It is so vibrant! Love the description of the class too! Sounds like I should have been there!
