From clay to neigh.....
Emma-Jane loves horses, and it reflects in her art....
what a pity we don't live close enough to all our NZ friends who have horses and who let us go riding at a time when Emma was too young to ride.
We need to find another medium though as clay just cracks as it dries...any sugestions? She was 8 when she did this.
Here are some face book comments I got a while ago...
Mother's Musings: Art Lessons
"It is better to have no art teacher than the wrong art teacher! For the wrong art teacher can destroy the potential giftedness of any person and the right teacher can help make a genius of a 'nobody'. But more important that artistic 'outcomes' is the importance of how the soul feels when doing art, only a good teacher can make the soul sing for joy as learner does art. Let us not forget too that practice and experiments are art 'teachers' too"

I met a new Australian artist
http://www.anitarowney.com.au/
Last week we went to Mount Taborine and met Anita Rowney. The most intereting thing was the way she created a washed look with her paints, I think she does this with acrylcs too. Usually you do this with watercolours. I ma using acrylics fo rmy horses. I bouhgt a new pant brush and a new green and yellow paint that I need for the grass in my horse painting. It is a fan shaped brush, and I have never had one of these before. One day I would like to have a whole room full of paintings to sell just like Anita Rowney.
