Yesterday's Interview
I was privileged to be interviewed yesterday by Bill Henson, publisher of the free York County Magazine for the "center spread" artist profile (I always knew I'd make a centerfold one day, hahah!) Bill has interview over 60 artists and is very versed in art (to the point I was a bit intimidated.) Having him interview me helped me make some sense of my art. For instance, he asked me what my favorite color was, and that started a lengthy dialogue that ended with my showing him my painting called, "Value Study." I told him I was a value-ist. And he understood. I told him color was the last thing I thought about. I told him that my earliest paintings I actually painted them in 3 values then glazed color over that. He found that fascinating; I thought most people did that. Who knew?

How do you feel about color? Is color a primary reason that you paint?

Congratulations!!! I want at least a half dozen of those free copies, missy!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I have an incredibly hard time with value, but I don't see myself as a colorist either. I think what attracts me to a subject IS value, but I have a hard time translating this value into color. Your idea of using three values and then glazing over them with color is a wonderful idea. What are you suggestions for finding the TIME to make art?
I can't wait to see the interview. And yes, you were destined to be a centerfold!
