Opinionated Student
I once read that children of artists sometimes have trouble being an art student; they can be the hardest to teach drawing and painting. I can relate. I grew up in the household of an artist, my Dad, John H. Stermer. I have strong opinions about drawing, painting, art in general and my own abilities.
I’ve been wondering about what people mean when they say someone knows how to draw. Draw what? Draw how? How did they learn? Do we every finish learning?
The Park
Lithia Park is an historic place Ashland, Oregon. Its a beautiful park designed by the same person who designed Golden Gate Park. It has lots of varieties of trees. A creek runs through it. Rhododendrons and azaleas bloom profusely in spring. There are two duck ponds. But, I chose a different viewpoint – looking down at my feet.
