Artists have been coming down to check out the Farm and painting there. The grounds are surrounded by old oleander trees, there are no sidewalks, rows of seasonal vegetables, it's all good. I have asked artists to send me pics of their paintings done here. Everyone's experience painting is different, we will all be hit with something different. To see each artists view of the
Farm is a great learning experience and a treat to the eyes. This little colorful piece was done by
Geri Acosta from Tucson. She is a gal that just moved to Arizona, knew no one, but has made many friends and has jumped right into life here in Arizona. I so admire her no fear way of getting at life and I think her paintings really do show her personality and even her take on how to jump and and go. So often your artwork will speak volumes about you, maybe more than you really wanted to say. But those you may not even know you can tell a lot about your view on life, your way of handing issues. Not always of course but if your work is truly you, and you have not just adapted another artist's style, it will say much about you. That is having your own style. It is not something that you decide ahead of time, which unfortunately is what art schools often push. How can you have a style when you are just learning how to get the paint off the palette and onto the canvas?? I know this gets old, but, Just Paint!!
