Nature is the greatest teacher, so I primarily paint from life and in natural light. I love to set up still lifes or models on my porches. I have an easel in the trunk of my car at all times and a sketch book in my purse.
I am blessed to have a studio with lots of windows and sky lights for natural light for models and still lifes. This space is also great for teaching.
Painting in Apalach is as joyful as the location.
Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us,
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
In order to make progress, there is only nature, and the eye is turned through contact with her.
Paul Cezanne
Art can make life beautiful. Believe me, it is worth the effort to achieve the highest level of seeing that you are capable of achieving.
Hensche
Each painter must look out of his own eyes.
CLING DESPERATELY TO YOUR OWN VISION;
In this way only can you hope to be an original.
Originality is one of the rarest and most precious qualities in art.
Birge Harrison.
