“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

blog 10
Recently I stared a water coloring art class here at Thomas More. I'm currently working on a piece that is an ocean landscape and I've been thinking of it in terms of the landscape model. This model is the one that says we should perceive nature as if it were a landscape painting. This model made it quite easy for me to immerse myself in the ocean picture that I am painting. In looking at the picture for several minutes, I began to see the various places I would use bigger brush strokes, lighter or dark colors, etc. Using this approach to view the picture, I plan on transforming it into a breathtaking landscape painting.
