John Murray classes first week of March 2015

I am on the brink of insanity with this weather.
I hope you're doing better than I am.
Next week try to paint a truly meaningless picture, some image with no value to yourself or anyone else.

Sometimes at my most desperate I do my best work,

as Samuel Beckett said, "I can't go on...I must go on..."

See you next week, John 

  

John Murray classes week of February 9, 2015

The snow piles up and over our plans.
Next week try a white on white painting.
Malevich, Rauschenberg, Ryman are a few who have denied traditional full-chroma art.
Underpaint and cover white, paint black and scrape to white, spray, wash, scrub...
This a hard winter, pile the paint thick, scrape it away and wash it out, pour it on, peel it back, smudge it, step on it...see you next week. I hope!
Love, john.
