The school year is starting on Wednesday so you may not see an original post from me for a bit. I have a ridiculous schedule. I am teaching eleven classes during the first semester. I also have a student teacher. The poor soul. She will probably never want to teach high school after witnessing my load I'll self-medicate with Prevacid and Maalox. Nothing too exciting.
So, I will treat you all to a link to my mentor and painting instructor, Robert Andriulli. The man is amazing and an inspiration to me. I have been a student of his (off and on) since 2000. Lately, I've been too "overscheduled to drop in on his classes. Enjoy Bob's site . I believe you can just click on my post title to get to there. (My technological impairment is showing). If that doesn't work, click on his Artist link. Thanks for listening. I feel better now.
Welcome to the art space of Anita Williams. I will use this space to write about my art processes, my inspirations and other things I am learning in my journey. I am generally a positive person but I am drawn to the negative space in nature. Things that are unseen or overlooked.

Wow! Such amazing skies and use of colour, Neetzy. I spent quite a time getting inspired over at his blog.
I can see some of his influence in your own colours and your palette knife work in particular although I must say that you surpass him in composition and there are at least four of your paintings I would far rather have hanging on my walls.
Good luck with the teaching. Keep us informed, even if it's only a few words from time to time.
Dive,
Wow! What can I say? I love you.
I can't believe you think I surpass the amazing Andriulli in any way. But, thank you, thank you. Bob has been a wonderful influence and inspiration to me. Now that I've gotten the first day of school under my belt, I am less stressed. Hopefully I can post some art by the end of the week.
The guy is amazing and I definitely saw his influence on your work as soon as I opened up his website. Best of luck with the new school year.
Thanks Tom,
You have to really see Bob's work in person. The paintings are monumental in size. I bought one of the small urban landscapes. the more you look at his work, the more complex you realize it is.
I have the first day of school under my belt now. I think I will be okay! Thanks. You might not realize it, but I get very little sleep before the first week of school.
