Peggy Probably the hardest part of making art is to show your soul.  It has been said that the first 20 seconds of a drawing or painting set the mood for the next 20 hours. Gesture is everything. It is not so much how long a piece might take but when you made it.  Last weekend I went to Art Wynwood and saw  a lot of very marketable  artwork. After leaving, my friend, Susan Megur asked me what piece stuck in my mind. I could not answer that question. What a shame.  Make your art like it is part of your soul. Find what it is about something that you make that moves you. Make it about emotion, politics, color or just plain beauty. Anything that makes you and your viewer move from their comfort zone of visual boredom .  Cool artists of the week: Sybelle Peretti works with transparent glass images. Stops me in my tracks!

Notice how she incorporates the background to describe the figure. http://www.barebrush.com/gallery.php?artwork_id=2309 John Singer Seargent He saw light so perfectly and depicted it so simply I will reference him forever He draws and paints to perfection Notice how simply he states details with blocks of value Sometimes what seems to be so detailed is the flick of the corner of a square brushhttp://www.johnsingersargent.org/ See you tomorrow morn at about 9:30! It always seems to be raining...
