| Posted 3 months ago I don't know if he's my "favorite", but I've recently gotten into Peter Doig's work in a major way. Don't crucify me for what I'm about to say...but typically I find landscape paintings (even from the old masters) painfully boring! OW! OW!!! ok OK! Put the pitchforks down!! I've taken it as my mission to disprove to myself that they are all dreadfull, and a friend of mine challenged me to do a series of my own (which I've been working on, and will post soon) Anyways! Moving right along...in my research, I came across Doig (who I was unfamiliar with until recently) and I gotta say -- the most incredible landscapes I've ever seen! Fantastic paintings. Genuinely interesting, refreshing and original work. |

| Posted 3 months ago To Joseph: Where is my pitchfork...I remember you mentioned to me that you were going to try landscape. I would suggest try painting outdoors if you haven't already. I think it could feed back into your already strong work. |

| Posted 3 months ago joseph - as for landscapes.... i urge you to look at turner's landscapes. i have seen them at the tate in london. mindblowing. completely gorgeous colourfields. almost abstract in all their glory. do not limit yourself - there is always beauty in the most minute places...where you least expect to find it. that's the wonder of it all. angela truth - beauty - freedom - LOVE |

| Posted 3 months ago Jon - Since I started painting them, I've come to see them differently (although I still think most of them are "blah", ;) LOL ) Your suggestion is something I've been thinking about recently. I think I would really enjoy plein air painting. If anyone knows of a plein air group in/near Brooklyn, NY ...I'd really appreciate if you could get me the info! Angela - William Turner does some beautiful work, I do like his stuff a lot. I think because he stays away from the stereotypical "pretty picture" concept that annoys me so much. He makes a scene interesting to look at. That's what I look for in a painting. |
