Ciao there, I've decided to start one of these things (although I had once already, and it seems to have disappeared, lost somewhere in the Google universe! If someone spots it let me know!). I've never been a journal sort of person, let alone an online journal person, but this seems like it might be a fun experiment. I'm not too sure about how this whole thing should be done, but I will do my best! I'm hoping to put a lot of stuff about art on here, mine and other people's. And maybe some extra stuff about books and music and film and such.
I am a self taught traditional realist painter, living in Maine, painting as often as possible and trying to finish a BA in Art History (which I also love). I say traditional realist because I've found that that is the best description of what I do. Well-known contemporary painter Jacob Collins talks about the phrase in this article from The New Criterion.
At the moment I am starting to work on a piece that features a lobster. There's a whole story behind it, I will post more when I have more concrete evidence to show!
