The Best Painter Ever

The Awesome Artistic Talents of Ol’ Sol
Open Letter To Artists #37 (from an art critic)
Take some of your valuable time and look to the heavens. You are liable to discover the sun doing some wonderful and even astounding artwork in the sky. The OPEN LETTER TO ARTISTS #37 by Joan Altabe, a contributing art critic for Fine Art Registry™, gives us a whole new way to look at something we so readily take for granted.
There is nothing that can compare to the incandescent power that lights our world. The breathless beauty of a sunset, whether it be in Florida, slowly dipping into a restless ocean or setting lazily on a Northwestern Mountain range, coloring an expanse of sky with hues artists can only strive for.
In her almost poetic article, she pleads with artists to look up to the ever-changing skies to gain inspiration. Artists have long tried to portray the sun’s captivating colors going back to the 19th Century. She describes the exploits of painter Holman Hunt and his experiments in attempting to paint this elusive light.
Think back to when you were a child and watching the clouds slowly drifting by, imagining the shapes to be that of elephants or flying saucers and such. The best display in town is not at the local art gallery, or museum, it is in the sky. This wonderfully written article helps us to let our childhood imagination soar again and inspires artists to take some time and learn from the best painter in the universe.
Using some of her favorite novelists, such as Eugene Boudin, John Updike and Joseph Conrad, she illustrates her point succinctly. Their writings paint verbal pictures of exactly what the author is suggesting that artists attempt to achieve in their renderings. The article is upbeat and inspirational and can be read at www.FineArtRegistry.com.
