What people see.

People tend to have a notion of what art is. Usually that notion is what they think it should be. Whatever regimentation they have. Some people think every portrait must be photorealistic. Some think art should be pretty for their wall. Some people can't assemble an abstract in their heads. Some are easily offended by words as well as pictures. I am coming from a painters perspective.

Day One Fine Art Painting What About Art, Rick Calzadilla

I thought I should get this rolling.
I am a painter and I paint out of doors on the Town lake hike and bike trail.
Quite an enriching experience! I have been doing this for almost two years. The air is fresh the noise is minimal, the lighting is fantastic and the people, - *well, they are people.
I have a small web site on geocities it is

I am updating it slowly. Feel free to write anything you like
