"Inspirations" (4x4")-201063; Members-$85
Boy, have I had an awesome art filled day. It was the last chance to see "Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870-1940" here in Orlando at the OMA. Kick butt, incredible, astounding & inspiring artists and their paintings. I saw some of my favorites from the New Hope, PA colony of American Impressionists; Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield to name a few. And many, many more whose names I jotted down & intend to research when time permits. Who of you out there knows of Edward Potthast? OMG - if you don't and you like impressionist figures in broad daylight, you must do your research. The quality of outdoor light and atmosphere that he achieved is unprecedented, as far as I'm concerned. His brushstrokes through thick paint just rock my world. And so, today's painting is inspired by what I saw today. I have been working diligently again these days, and it's refreshing to see that my work is taking on a new level, higher or parallel I'm not sure. But I also see the features, style if you will, of my past work, and that is reassuring.
