I very much enjoyed my visit yesterday to the new Clark to see the Van Gogh and the rest of the museum. Whistler's Mother is another exhibit currently there. Many argue that the new architecture doesn't please them, but I liked it and it feels like you are 'one' with the landscape-another wonderful feature of the site. There are hiking trails as well and I'd recommend that you bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery.
Still reading up on the airbrush technique that I'm pretty sure I'll use for my next mural at the rink.
Tonight I'm visiting the Newburyport Art Association's shows on my way to the Rockport Art Association for a reception celebrating the new issue of Art New England Magazine at 6 p.m.

Video Tutorials and research on Airbrush Techniques
I've spent the entire day watching and learning and taking notes about airbrush painting in preparation for doing a mural at the skating rink. The first wall will be about 16' tall and 160' long. The design elements will be a space theme with black light and flourescent paint. I think I will truly enjoy this adventure. There is a lot of expense with equipment, paint, etc., but I'm thinking it will work up faster than the regular paint brush techniques I've used in the past. Only time will tell, and I'll be talking about it as I progress.
A couple of days ago I went into Boston's MFA and saw the extensive Hokusai exhibition. Talk about prolific, he was amazing, what a fantastic draftsman. He worked in ink and various water paints on many surfaces and did woodblock prints. In one day he painted a banner 6 stories high using 14 gallons of paint. He could work big and tiny. It is mind boggling, be sure to look him up!
This week coming up, I'm going out toWilliamsburg MA (western Massachusetts) to see the much talked about Van Gogh exhibit at the Clark, staying overnight.
Did I mention that I just returned from Santa Fe, New Mexico and Scottsdale, AZ and saw some very exciting art. If I'm not motivated now, I'll never be!
