Sometimes Writing is Learning
July 26th, 2011
Still away in Europe accompanying my husband with work. In circumstances like these, when I'm not able to paint, I find time to work on my website.
There is not much to upload (since I am not painting), but I do make time to write some articles for the young readers who like to understand appreciation of art.
In the process of writing, I discover and learn a lot about art myself. Writing about the great masters and their famous paintings make me feel somewhat small about what I do art-wise. The depth in a painting like Otto Dix's Portrait of writer, Sylvia von Harden, is so amazing and says so much.
Perhaps it is in continued learning and discovery that we grow as artist. In this modern world, it is a lot more challenging... but by far more rewarding.
