Phil Starke- Oil painter

Occasionally I will run across an artist blog or newsletter that is really helpful. One of my favorites belongs to Phil Starke. He is able to get anouncements out about upcoming shows, what is available to purchase but what you remember is his ability to give, to offer more for clients and for other aritists. It is totally worth signing up for it. Go to www.philstarke.com and get on his list. I have purchased one of his videos- on simplifing city scapes- real good, easy to follow, and clear. Phil also has a blog for artists with real interesting dialog on how he solves problems, and shares so much of what he knows. We are in a profession that unfortunately has many artists who seem to think the there is a finite amount of "art knowledge", or secrets, or somehow sharing knowledge will help others and hurt their themselves. How refreshing to find a talented artist who happily shares what he knows and hopes to see others improve.
