"Nothing To Crow About"



Different Points of View

The different points of view page is my attempt to engage in ideas and thoughts about art and painting. For example I have been reading lately about a popular notion that a painting a day is a good idea. Because I have always said to students that they will learn more from actually doing (painting) than from my teaching, then I suppose the painting time required by "a painting a day" would be a good thing. However, I like to teach that the time spent thinking about what is to be painted and pre-deciding things like mood and composition are too important to put on a timetable. I do think a discipline of painting daily is good.

Perhaps you'd like to express your ideas on this or other aspects of painting.
