Above you see Joe Paquet's almost finished painting and below you see his view.

I liked this man's work because it was different. Not exactly a landscape, but still painted plein-air and wonderful in its fresh lighting and soft colors.
And here is his palette. How do artists make their magic from a mess like this?
I'm sorry I didn't get all the artist's names for you, but I was just so enthralled by it all. I highly recommend the exhibition at the museum where you can see these artists' work plus several others, and also the fabulous landscape paintings of Albert Bierstadt that are in the museum's permanent collection.
Absolutely fascinating! I have no talent in this direction whatsoever, but my mother-in-law loves to paint and does it so well. I am going to share this post with her. C
ReplyDeleteI have problems with stick figures, so you can guess how much I admire those who have skills with a brush or chalk. This sounds like an incredible event. The work is lovely, especially the last - it started my morning with a great big smile. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a very interesting afternoon. Did you buy anything ?
ReplyDeleteI just love that style. I would love to see them at work.

I think the starting bids were around $1000, so, erm no, I didn't buy anything.
