For the first time in my life I’m reading biographies about famous artists. Bernini, Van Eyck, Monet, Titian, Holbein, Caravaggio, Raphael, Velazquez and Bacon. Even though I’m jamming all this knowledge into my cranium, my recent drawings seem exactly the same. Take this quaint hotel in Dinard that caught my eye. This painting looks like every other picturesque structure I’ve drawn. I gotta figure out how to get all my new found art comprehension from my brain to my wrist.
