OLIVIAB - ART, BEAUTY AND BRAINS

OliviaB's site is nourishing for the soul and inspiring for the mind. Her unique presentation draws me right in. Her photos are poignant and commentary is thoughtful. Excellent work here, and is a place I look forward to visiting regularly.

DEMONSTRATIONS - ART BY WILLIAM WHITAKER

A rare opportunity to observe the delicate stages of creating a painting. Mr Whitaker explains how easily just one extra brushstroke could have ruined the painting, and photos taken through the stages illustrate exactly what he's talking about.

Though seeing someone's process can inspire one to try the same, such is not the case here. Demonstrations by William Whitaker only proves that I need to immediately step away from the paint brush. Instead, I shall leave creating art to the artists, and keep my focus on appreciating their exquisite work.
