A Visit to Tad Spurgeon – What REAL Painting is all about!

October 1st, 2009

A very good day, as it always is visiting Tad, the most knowledgeable painter I’ll probably ever get to hang out with for a time.  I’m feeling a little guilty, not keeping up with what I have already learned from him, but it was a treat to see his new studio/house with all the space and all those wonderful paintings now starting to be unpacked and appearing on the walls.  A few are below, along with the magical oils aging well in the sun.  Thanks Tad.  Great day, lunch, ink drawing and visit.  It is a privilege to know you and see what real painting is all about.  If I had half of life to live over again, this is the kind of work I would aspire to.tadeasel.jpgtadlongpainting.jpgtadsoils.jpgtadspaintingscorner.jpg
