1. Art is not a competition
2. Sentimentality is not art
3. The camera removed the goal of art being realistic looking & set it free
4. Art is honest authentic emotion - that’s why a great Rembrandt & your child’s drawing, for you, are equally important.

Guernica (1937) knocks Korea into a cocked hat! Why? Well his Korea is cerebral & draws on Picasso’s anti-war Communist politics. Guernica is his native Spain, his people, his homeland attacked. It’s authentic emotion - not logical exposition.

I hope those who are on the fence about going to #PACE25 make the leap today before the price goes up. I'm honored to be on faculty again this year. I hope to see some familiar faces and meet other plein air painters on the same path.

Just joined up to Blue Sky..looking forward to seeing some great work by my Artist friends and all the other wonderful Artists of the world! I thought I would start out by posting some of my better efforts that I have done over the last 81 years. Should be a great adventure!
