My Search For Art Knowlege

I go to the art gallery often ... I like it all ... the Renaissance, Gothic, and Baroque period and the Romanesque period, love the myths painted even the Twentieth Century art I love I have a passion to learn everything about art history the artists, the paints, the techniques used and I even have an interest in the frames the vivid colors of the Renaissance religious paintings take my breath away, imagine the artists mixed their colors how did they know how to create a certain tone how did they know the effect that it would have on their canvas so inspiring, so skillful the bible and life of Christ, the saints and miracles the depictions of myths and legends so beautifully depicted history painted, wars ... the portraits and nature scenes I admire the works of Botticelli, Picasso, Rubens, Klimt, Raphael Titian, Gaugin, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Chagall and many more in Canada we love the Group of Seven artists paintings about the history of Canada and the art of the first nation peoples I also love the statues scattered throughout the gallery wandering ... absorbing "art" knowledge is my desire and when I am home from a day at the gallery I gather my art supplies, sketch pads, canvases and paints inspired by all I have seen... I mix colors ... try techniques ... to create my own kind of art ______________________ March 27, 2023
