Sounds awesome Nick! I was fortunate enough to have been able to see some Burchfield watercolours (up close) in NY back in 96 and it's a great memory.
Sounds like this workshop you're going to feature in is going to be something very special, ..and wishing you all the very best for this one Nick! Take care, & best wishes as always..
tremendo programa! felicitaciones Nick!
Wayne - that is quite a museum, and a beautiful rotunda section of it devoted to Burchfield. His work takes on a new level of meaning when seen in person, I was impressed. Got to meet some great artists I hadn't crossed paths with yet, and Sunday was non-stop for me - panel discussion, workshop, presentation. I'm afraid I was a bit of the contrarian during the discussion session. Whenever someone talks about the importance of painting one subject/style, I like to haul out the idea that a truly great artist can paint anything at the highest level. That's where the name of Wayne Roberts comes in!
I would have loved to be at this event. It's a privilege to know the maverick bad boy in the watercolor world. It's good to see things shaken up a bit. Rock on!
Alex - somehow I missed your post amigo! I wish you could have been there, to talk art and architecture with you. Any chance you'll be coming to the States one of these days? I'm not sure when I'll make it down there, but I'd be willing to meet you halfway! un abrazo
Myrna - I guess I made a lot of friends there, but I'm sure a few checked "outraged" on the evaluation sheet. If not, I haven't done my job! ha ha
