Post One

The goals of this blog are:
  • To develop an unofficial online community for, but not limited to, WCSU MFA alumni.
  • To be a valuable resource for painters to communicate with other painters through academic and insightful critiques.
  •  To motivate painters to paint more regularly.

Here's how it works:
  • Paintings are posted.
  • Viewers look at painting and comment.  Discussion follows through helpful and kind commentary.
  • Painter gets academic insight, ideas to ponder, and returns to studio motivated to paint.

What this is not:
  •  A commercial venue for art.

Let's get started!  Please feel free to comment, and email me your paintings if you would like a crit.

    2. Really like the peaked roof with the textured sky. Very winter. I like the depth of the foreground with the understated top half of the painting. Nice work

    3. Very nice Jess - I'm partial to the panel on the left with a larger portion of the pine tree - I have a thing about pine trees.
