HANGING SPRAY OF SCARLET ORCHIDS

HANGING SPRAY OF SCARLET ORCHIDS copyright by Michael Forbus The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their colour or smell... Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself. (Lucien Freud)

Excellent quote and work and so very true of any form of art. Excellent work!

Artist Reply: Tahnja, my thanks for you for reading the quote and I believe it to be true. In my case I must have proximity awareness or become in a state of Shibumi which is a state of grace knowing that which surrounds you when I paint. Everything must be orderly around me. Interestingly enough some might say I am obsessive but I am practicing that quote. Thanks fo recognizing its importance and your gracious comments on my work. I sincerely appreciate it. Michael
