I’ve been working on a new series of Animal Paintings, a departure for me.
When I was about five, I was in an art class at the Bowman Art Centre in Lethbridge.
I copied a Constable painting which mom still has hanging up in her home.
I told my art teacher, an artist, that I would be an artist when I grew up.
She asked “What will you paint?”
“Animals,” I declared, ”because I love them so.”
She responded, “Serious artists don’t paint animals. You should paint trees.”
After all these years later I’ve decided to ignore her advice and paint animals.
These have been a joy to paint.
