I read it on the Adobe airstream blog.

good bye to Robert Natkin

I read the obituary in the NY Times this morning and was struck by this sentence:
"Though he exhibited in some of the most eminent galleries of his time, his style fell out of favor".
I enjoyed his work and know it will "come back" at some point in the future. When did art become so fixated on the market that galleries could no longer find a place for talented artists they had once believed in? I doubt it was because his work changed but because styles change and the fancies of curators change for what is " hot". Anyway, it is a good time to remember a good artist and revisit his work.

Drawing and Henry Moore at the Botanic Gardens

I have spent 2 days at the Denver Botanic Gardens enjoying the marvelous Henry Moore sculpture exhibit. It is up till next January so I look forward to seeing them as the seasons change. It is early spring now so I was most interested in drawing the trees, before the leaves obscure their structure. I love charcoal and still have a box from my college days in the 1960s. How times have changed; I don't imagine any charcoal is still produced in NY or LA do you?

Tea time on Saturday
