Please let me add that there are a lot of good artists posting here. If there’s a link to your work, I’ve probably clicked on it and havent been disappointed yet. You notice that there’s no link to mine. That’s because my web guy has been after me for ever so long to get him some pics. I did finally send some this weekend. The site should be updated soon and I’ll include the link then.

As cool as that moment was, I’m not sure I’ve implemented what I observed there. One of the things that sticks with me is that, in his book, Carlson talks about how the landscape is rounded as things bulge out from the earth. The concept is obvious in his work, when you’ve been made aware of it. I’ve noted this many times, even written poetry about it, but it hasnt been noticeably translated into my work.

Your welcome. Yeah I know, …the Fort Worth Zoo doesn’t realize what they have, they use the room with the Kuhnert paintings for special events and fund raisers but the paintings clearly belong in a museum.

Thanks! Too bad about the bum’s rush at the Fort Worth Zoo.

I’m gonna be in Calgary in April. I will go to the Glenbow and see If I can get to see Rungius drawings and let you know. I made a special trip to the Fort Worth Zoo to see the collection of Wilhelm Kuhnert paintings and they definitely didn’t give me any special treatment. I was told by a rude guest relations lady that I only had about a half hour to look at them even though I just flew thousands of miles too see them and made arrangements well in advance. But still glad I went, because that man could paint!
