I love this cartoon by Ad Reinhardt...if only our artwork could talk...

I am the new kid on the block of the amazing Salvo Art Project; I am grateful to be a part of this family of  well established artists that have worked together for years.  These artist's talents take my breath away when I look at their studios and watch them work.   I feel like the beautiful trees that surround us that I am going to grow in both my art and my spirit.  I'm not aiming to find perfection in my painting but my passion drives me to find more practice, observation and classes with JJ.  I love taking classes with JJ because he knows I'm timid, I have been painting alone up until this year so, painting in a group of observers is an adjustment. He allows me to just paint as I have been; yet, has broadened my horizons wider than I ever imagined.  I still get nervous painting amongst such skill. I still sometimes doubt myself; however, this  desire to paint compels me to continue come what may.  For once in my life I feel I am in the right place now I have to express my gratitude by making the most of this experience. This is the start of something wonderful for us all as a part of the dream of Petra and J J when they created the Salvo Art Project.
