I saw the cover of this book and was hit with nostalgia because my grandmother Nila had this book. She was born in 1888, and did not attend school beyond the 6th grade. She was in her 50s when she became an artist. I was named Nyla, after her. I also became a serious artist when I was in my late 40s. I do not know where that book is but the other book you recommended last month, “The Yin and Yang of Painting” is one of the best and most useful books for review of composition that I have ever read.
I love these small paintings you sent to the gallery! I am really enjoying guache because it is so fun to travel with and want to start including it it my gallery works as well. Can you please talk about how you frame these works?
I am so glad you came through Idalia okay. I was thinking of you when it blew by. I’m in Stuart Fl. Just north of West Palm, and we are always watching these things. Last November Nicole visited us with the highest water anybody has seen here. And September 2004 both Francis and Jean wandered in the Stuart inlet three weeks apart. I want you to know how grateful I am for the opportunity to watch you paint and hear what your ideas and motivations are as you do it. Thanks again Mary Lou Pults

Hi Marc
I’m a bit behind on your lessons so this question is about priming canvases (sorry to dig this up again 🤓😵💫)
Do you prime all you canvases even better quality (oil) ie: Raymar double oil primed Belgian Linen or Signature or Ampersand …?
I understand now for the acrylics but curious about for oils.
Thanks much and hopefully no problems with this latest hurricane
Best,
Emilie Sykes
That book is WILD
