I saw a post about a woman who wrote her thoughts just before her passing. It made me think of all the questions I should have asked my parents when they were still with me.
Artists have a specialized skill, as do other career professionals. I have been a blogger/group writer for long years. These blog/group postings are my professional career journal. I wonder at all of the information I and other artists have missed through the years that artists could have written and shared with artists coming behind them? It is not necessary to be an expert writer.
What could I have learned from Daniel Green’s musings? Anders Zorn, John Singer Sargent? There are hundreds of other artists, some nearly unknown in the art world who had important words to share.
I know some artists like to be mysterious, who don’t like to share information. Perhaps they are afraid to be copied or out done by someone who might have more talent. I never worry about that. In fact, if I help someone to become a master painter, I will have done my job as a mere student of painting myself.
Sharing is caring for country painters…….
