Expressing Art – a journey
Mary Pusey 2024
I love painting. I love drawing.
I love exploring new art techniques.
I love to travel.
I began with watercolor. I thought I would never change. I traveled in the United States and England painting with this wonderful medium.
Then Covid became a constant companion in our lives.
No classes. No workshops. No Traveling.
A friend told me to look online, and I began a trip into oil & cold wax medium. I had never painted in oil, so I felt I needed more time learning to paint with oil before I continued with adding the cold wax medium.
I began taking workshops online. My friend suggested Winslow Art Online, and I met Martha Jordan, owner, and a new world opened for me. I took classes in oil and gouache (new to me!). I traveled to aworkshop in Italy sponsored by this company. I painted with Bernard Dellario in pomegranate and olive groves at the Casti llo di Petroia in Italy.
I painted with Ingrid Christensen and learned to paint yellows on unexpected rainy gray days at the Castle. I painted from my garden. I explored palette knife painting with David Mensing.
At the present time, I am painting with oil; sometimes my paintings are realistic, sometimes a bit more abstract. I find I enjoy painting what I see, not what is actually there.
