Enjoying the Journey on the Road - Eagle Idaho Fall 2010

The Celebration of Fine Art reminds me of the Louvre


Art Collectors love the Celebration of Fine Art, but today we had a life long artist enjoy drawing in the tent. She wanted to capture a posture that took her breath away, Tale of Respect - Ken Newman's bronze pheasant sculpture. 

Her passion for art and composition reminded me of my (Debbie's) trip to the Louvre in the early eighties. I had two young boys and my then father-in-law asked if I wanted to go to Europe with him. At first I declined, went home and thought about it (what was I thinking?) I called him back and told him I had changed my mind and would he still consider taking me.

While in France, I experienced over and over again the scene of artists capturing works by the Masters. Sitting in the aisles of the Louvre, leaning against a wall across from a painting, studying and drawing the compositions for later investigation and contemplation.

The Celebration of Fine Art in Scottsdale Arizona is like no other, except maybe when an artist is sketching a Master's work.
