Dordogne Dusk by Gerry Dudgeon 77x97cms Acrylic on canvas
It all began when I was asked what I would like for a rather special birthday that I have recently celebrated. Always keen to learn new skills and new people I plumped for an Art break in Dorset with one of my favourite artists Gerry Dudgeon! As you may already know I LOVE LOVE LOVE colour - I mean, instead of switching on the TV I will get my box of Sennelier Pastels out and just drool over the colours....I rarely actually use them I hasten to add. That would just spoil the look of them. So my bag is packed, I have ticked off the list of materials I need to take, checked the map, watered the plants and cleaned the house (there's nothing worse than coming back to a messy house is there!) My other half is taking advantage of my absence to visit our son in Exeter and my daughter is off to spend the week at her BFF also in Devon.
So we are all off for some excitement.
Obviously pinning my hat on the Equestrian Art Genre means that I will be looking to learn from Gerry's methods and the way he 'sees' and then apply it in a way that pleases me.
I actually cannot wait to get started. I am taking my Sennelier pastels with me, so I expect the TV will be taking a back seat, and will post back with my news post a week of colour, texture, and abstract art amongst like minded people that I hope to call friends very soon!
