I have seen a few Rothkos in person and would agree that to describe them exclusively in formal terms seems almost criminal. It would be like describing a song to someone.

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:12:31 +0000 http://banole.wordpress.com/?p=172#comment-366 Infinitely interesting article! I am an artist and find the relationship between art and science to be very fascinating. I don't think that good abstract paintings can be adequately described with 'terms that apply to the concrete world', as you say. If you ever have seen a Mark Rothko original in person for example, this cannot be described in words, the feeling one has looking at it, for me anyways. -Ed T. Infinitely interesting article!

]]> Comment on Watercolor forces you to search for better paintings. by Kathryn Hulick http://banole.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/watercolor-forces-you-to-search-for-better-paintings/#comment-354 Kathryn Hulick Thu, 08 May 2008 10:32:55 +0000 http://banole.wordpress.com/?p=169#comment-354 First of all, thanks for your drive-by-critique on my blog. The painting with this post is my favorite of your most recent works. The composition is very interesting, with so much open space in the lower left, but it works, and gives the work a kind of anticipatory feel. What's going to happen to that rabbit when he sails off the page? The shadows falling around him are a little menacing, too! Also, I wanted to reply to your oil painting vs watercolor case, since I am an oil painter who gets frustrated by watercolor -- for exactly the reasons you mention! I think it just depends on what you enjoy about painting. My favorite part is glopping color around with my palette knife, splashing some here, some there, then making immediate changes if it doesn't work. I take more risks with oil, and I love the smell and feel and texture it has. Also, I am a very fast painter and I can't stand waiting for watercolor to dry before doing another layer. Because I feel safe enough to make spontaneous marks, the painting often takes me in a direction I hadn't expected. First of all, thanks for your drive-by-critique on my blog.
