Mark Rothko |
In 4th year painting, one of our assignments is to do 3 paintings
40"x40". We are to research 3 artists, one of whose art we have seen
live in person, and combine these 3 styles into our own painting. I
chose Mark Rothko, Marc Chagall and Michael Adamson, a Canadian born
Toronto Artist whose work I saw a SOPA Art Gallery here in Kelowna. We
also have to do 'drawings' and I have decided to do my on 9"x9"pieces of
raw canvas, old paintings cut up, water colour paper, old water colour
paintings....so much stuff hanging around the house that I don't like so
I might as well recycle it. So today is the beginning of the process
and I began with Rothko. I may never get to Chagall's images...but maybe
his colours or his feel or probably his fiddler which to me will always
be symbolic of the jewish faith in which I was raised. They create a
similar feeling as do the Basler Waggis that for me are a symbol of the
Basler tradition
