Today's Fine Art Today

Don't make these people cut off an ear

This isn't a long post. I have a script to read and critique and some household chores to do so I won't spend too much time saying this: Vancouverites in particular are difficult to please when it comes to fine art painting. We respect photograhers and love photographs but we force painters to create atrocious landscapes full of greens and blues under threat of starvation.

Thomas Anfield has a show starting Oct 20 and running to Nov 2. He's showing his work with several other artists and you should at least go and have a look. Bring a wallet. Prepare to make monthly payments.

Do you hate the Group of Seven, too? How about Emily Carr? Have I found teh one other person who lives in BC who is not a fan of that art??!! I have learned never to mention my aversion to traditional BC landscape art(ists) in the company of anyone other than very close friends, who dismiss my opinions on most things as stupid, and therefore don't pummell me with reasons why I'm obviously ignorant... Coul dyou be any more perfect? I'd never have to ask you take down a painting in your living/dining/bedroom! (Oh how I make myself laugh!).
