Today is the day I start my first Blog. I have a fair bit of work to get through. Just sold one of my prints and will get it packed and sent to a happy customer. It makes me so happy that somebody appreciates what I do and likes it enough to want to buy it. I will be spending the day mounting work and prepping for my stall on Sunday. To the natives out there check me out at Tynemouth Market.
Speak soon!
The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow. Leonardo Da Vinci
Its the art of observation which is so challenging when creating a painting that hopefully appeals to the eye. Tones light and shadow are so important and as the master says they cannot be understood without them. I would say Da Vinci was the first artist I looked at and was inspired by. I think what inspires you helps you grow.
