This is a demo painting from the private painting session I gave today to two delightful humans. While teaching, I referenced several times, some points from a recent interview that Diane von Furstenberg gave to Katie Couric where she describes the ultimate woman as the woman who is in charge ... not necessarily in charge like a boss but in charge of her life, her decisions, her destiny. I really love that concept. And so too in painting ... I feel what I like to teach is for the painter to be in charge of the canvas ... to embrace all the strokes including problems that arise in the process and not become immobilized by them but to resolve them the way I want to resolve them and to be unafraid of going to uncharted territory in the process.
