Another Step Forward
Yes--many are stepping forward right now--standing tall for what they believe in. Step by hopeful step--and I return to working on my painting--wondering what can I do to let my voice be heard? So I continue putting brush to paper--glazing, spattering and choosing colors. This second flip-flop that I am doing steps forward...is moving on. Today, I began to read an insightful book recommended by a very perceptive art teacher, gail McDaniel. The Art Spirit, by Robert Henri, was published in 1923 and his words are helping me feel as though I am part of a greater group. He says "through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established..." I recommend this book to all artists and I plan to include more of his comments in future blogs.
