I did my 2 page art spread on Fairfield Porter. Fairfield captured my attention, because I loved the way he drew nature. For example the dog in "Island Farmhouse" and the the pine tress in "Big House with Hawkseed." The way he was able to paint such simple shapes, but make them intricate really blew my mind. He added detail to parts of the painting, where you wouldn't think would be there originally, but it makes all the difference. He inspires me not to be so detailed while drawing, but to focus on the unique parts of nature. I'm hoping that someday I can just give me drawing a certain peace and meaning when you look at them. Last of all, I believe that the most simplest things in life can bring the most detail.
This is a very nicely thought out Artist Page. Looks good and I can tell what you were trying to learn from him.
