"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." - Paul Cezanne

One of the reasons I like my students to choose what they're going to paint is that I want them to paint what they're connected to, what they're emotional about.   If you paint what you are passionate about, your artwork will exude passion.

Below are the beautiful finished works by my students from last week and this week.  I love to see the diversity of what everyone paints!  What a joy to see all my students doing so well!

“What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.” 

Eugene Delacroix 

Well, I told Jim that he was getting his own blog post for this painting and his enormous leap into an amazing place with his work!  Jim came to me just over six year ago.  He started in oil, progressed to acrylic and even journeyed into watercolor.  

The painting below is Jim's recent oil painting.  He travels abroad and comes up with some great scenes to paint.  The thing about Jim is that this past year, his work has blossomed to produce some masterpieces that are truly stunning.  We're all so proud of him.  I wish you could see this painting in person.  My photo doesn't begin to do this work justice.  The perspective on this piece was a very difficult challenge and Jim captured it like a pro!  Jim, congratulations and we love you!

“Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” Claude Monet

I had a nice compliment this week from one of my students.  She was mixing up an unusual and beautiful color and called me over to look at it.  She told me that she would have never been able to achieve what she was doing if she hadn't learned and made her own double complimentary color wheel with me.  Thanks to all of my students who give me such nice feedback!  It's both rewarding and helpful to me to know what you're getting out of the classes!

Speaking of classes, here is an array of finished pieces from the last several weeks.  I've thrown in a few gesture drawings from Nick.  Everyone seems to have really tuned in to doing their gesture drawings.  Gestures drawings are rewarding, relaxing, and the perfect way to develop your hand-eye coordination.  The more you draw, the more you see!

"Creativity takes courage". - Henri Matisse

It's been a great few weeks and here are several finished works as well as some works in progress.  Henri Matisse is right, creativity does take courage.  It takes courage to step out of our comfort zone, putting our personal expressions on paper or canvas, stumbling for those right lines and brushstrokes that express our innermost selves.  Yet, the reward is profoundly life changing for those who persevere!
