art education

In the past few days I have discovered two interesting blogs that seem to touch the two ends of the experience spectrum in the art world.

Susan at Art Esprit is an established artist, curator and gallery owner who is absolutely as passionate as you can get about the visual arts. Her blog is full of variety and visual delights. She regularly profiles other artists and I was lucky enough to get the nod this time. She is someone who has followed her passion.

Brock at Caviar Gallery is an artist and student who is at the initial exploration stage: do I follow my passion? If so, how? He is grappling with a lot of the questions we all face at the start of our creative/work lives. Like Susan, there is plenty to see and think about at his blog.

Happy reading!

This painting is hanging in my living room, but vertically (I can't remember how I painted it and didn't sign it!). It's a 24" x 36" oil painting I did while at university and, amazingly, has survived all my culling raids. Can you see the dead horse sliding downhill?
