“Crowded Kindesses” by Emily McNeil
24″ x 24″ oil on canvas
$1600
Emily McNeil’s art education consisted of taking classes and workshops, reading books, watching videos of her favorite artists, going to museums and galleries and studying her grandfather’s copies of Art of the West.
She is grateful to Brent Burkett, who nurtured her in his quiet way through the techniques of “real art”; to Tom Browning, who told her he thought she could make it as an artist; to Morgan Weistling, for his kindness and critique that still makes the artist smile to think of; to Scott Christensen, for the abundance of knowledge he shared; and to Dan Gerhartz for his teaching on color temperature, his critiques, and his inspiring life and paintings.
Inspirational quote:
“…All things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that may be aroused to pleasurable emotion at sight of them. This is beauty. The art student that should be, and is so rare, is the one whose life is spent in the love and culture of his personal sensations, the cherishing of his emotions, never undervaluing them, the pleasure of exclaiming them to others, and an eager search for their clearest expression.” – Robert Henri
