New Postings!!

Thanks to all of you who have been clamoring for new postings this year. I really appreciate your interest! I've been very focused on drawing for many months now, and I've finally made the plunge back into oils. Betty Edwards ("Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" and "Color") says that painting is inherently more difficult than drawing because it requires input from the left side of the brain to mix colors as well as the artistic right side of the brain for drawing. Therefore, the artist in constantly switching gears during a painting. This might explain why even the old masters, such as John Singer Sargent, were famous for requiring up to 60 sittings by their patrons for a single portrait. All this to say, I hope to see outrageous progress in my painting in 2009. I hope you enjoy the ride with me. Cheers! -Lin
