ReplyDeleteFrank, I'm always trying to convey whatever was extraordinary about a scene or an emotion that was stirred that I hope will also move the viewer.

Susan: That is why I have respected your work, because its more than a mere depiction of a scene. Frank
ReplyDeleteNow that Art must convey something worthwhile to the viewer, here are some points to consider.
ReplyDelete1. Visual enjoyment in a distinctive way.
2. Communicate a worthwhile idea or message
3. Art must produce results that will later facilitate the the provision of one or both of the points above.
I think when you look at an artist like Charles Reid, one comes away with the excitement of light, and color. Another artist, Claire Harrigan, paints ordinarily objects in an expressive, colorful and abstract way. If you don't know of her work, look her up on Google
She published a book "abstract and color , techniques in painting"
