Art In the Trenches Elizabeth Matthews

In this episode, I explain how a Morris Louis painting is continuing to influence painting today (my painting that is :-) ), and provide a plein air drawing lesson you can do from home, even if you are confined or in quarantine. Visuals to go with are available on instagram @doctor_of_art

This episode talks about understanding contemporary art and applies it to a fun easy lesson you can do yourself with pencil and paper, or even paint

Ever wonder about the value of hand crafted organic Wine? Well until yesterday, I did not give it much thought. This little episode is food for thought on the value of the hand crafted object, be it good wine or a good painting!!!

Today I talk shop on my painting progress, and then on to the next gallery tour stop from Thursday's tour: the AMAZING Villa Vassilieff where Contemporary Art takes on a giant tower, and in so doing, the powers-that-be of globalization :) 

In this episode I talk about painting of raindrops (or rather an attempt to create a certain atmosphere), a gallery visit to see photographs by Stephen Shames at galerie Esther Woerderhoff, and finally, how to further demystify Contemporary Art so we can LOVE it MORE and better!!!

Where to start when you enter a gallery and you don't get it... I will try to offer some help to you :)
