Bruce Samuelson

Bruce Samuelson was one of my instructors at PAFA, and a considerable influence on so many there. Take Alex Kanevsky for example; he was just starting out when I graduated. I can see how you are drawn to his works, Thomasin. If you can get to the PSOA conference in April, perhaps I can introduce you to him.

Thanks Garth. It is so interesting that he was one of your instructors.

I have a number of things on my travel calendar this year and was going to go the the east coast (US) in June but perhaps can push it forward to April. However, the impetus for coming to Philadelphia would be more to meet you and the other great people I have met on the forum.

I am just looking at Alex Kanevsky's work (I had not known about him) and really like it. Look at this one: http://www.somepaintings.net/2007/FDKB.html

- how exciting - especially the man.

Thomasin,

That's a great Kanevsky example! I love the push and pull and subtle color vibration. I wish I could figure out how to do that (or how you accomplish your own magic, for that matter).

It would be neat if you do get the opportunity to come to Philadelphia in April during the weekend of PSOA, for you will get to meet a whole flurry of Forum members at once.

Thanks Garth.

Look at this one - isn't it cool! Like Degas if he might have continued to paint for another 70 or so years more (if he had two lifetimes to paint and the 20th century to paint in).
