NICHOLAS WILSON

I received my 2014 McClain's catalog and the cover featured a print from Nicholas Wilson. He paints in gouache, oils and watercolors and does sculpture, but his engravings on Resingrave are simply beautiful. The Resingrave allows such wonderful detail and Mr Wilson takes advantage of that quality.




                                         

GREAT ART SITE PLUS NEW PASTEL

Here is another great website with tons of information and links to all kinds of art techniques. If you are interested in painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, printmaking (my favorite), pastels or ceramics, you find something you like here. Also great links to artists on the home page. The painting at the left is a watercolor by Lori Pitten Jenkins.

The painting to the right is another pastel from my trip to Colorado.

SO MANY ARTISTS

I am not a very social person and tend to stay within my own small world, but one of the benefits I have gained from writing this blog is communication and information from other people who enjoy art in its many forms. One such person, one that follows my meandering posts, mentioned some great things on display at the Pacini Lubel Gallery in Seattle. Of special interest to me are the ceramic sculptures by Wanxin Zhang. I really love both the subjects and the texture of the pieces. I have done a few sculptures in wood, and made a couple of attempts with clay, so I have a great appreciation of work such as Zhang's.
