Trees return from Dublin....
Our first course study visit, to Dublin's galleries and museums, had plenty of exhibits to spark off associations with the forest theme....from the contemporary such as Norbert Schwontkowski at the Kerlin, to an old historical guy like Corot at the Hugh Lane. Also, at the Museum of Modern Art the Cuban artist Carlos Garaicoa took things into a firmly 3-dimensional way of making art......and a good example of how even flat images can be brought into a more 3-D format....try to check him out more online if you missed the Dublin trip, as the Painting classes will be using his work as a starting point.

These Dublin pictures are very interesting,they stimulate the mind. I have used trees as a source for manys a story in many of my painting.I believe we have all had experiences with trees in the woods.I look forward to more understanding of the importance of the linear sequencing that is involved in this project.I also look forward to climbing trees in more ways than one, rubbing the leaves, touching the bark,carving it,minipulating it,painting it.
