Lucky You
At the High Museum here in Atlanta they are really strange about the art considering the pickings are slim. They do not allow anyone to paint in the museum and when they do have a drawing session it's with a bunch of little kids with ruled notebook paper and No 2 pencils with little worn down erasers on the end of those No 2 pencils! YaY! And I mean YaY in the most sarcastic way! There is one painting at the High that I would camp out in front of and paint if they allowed me, that would be the last image that DeCamp painted,'The Mandarin Jacket' ! Poor guy really got it and then died. Isn't that the way it is? For what the High Museum lacks 'The Mandarin Jacket' makes up for it all!
If I were allowed your opportunity, kids or no kids, it would be every man for himself in my house! My family is becoming very accustom to frozen pizzas, Freezer Queen and Banquet Meals served with canned peas and mashed potatoes. Sad thing is, I am a retired chef , so I guess now I am truly retired!
I can not imagine how thrilled you must be. I wish you luck and hope that you have many revelations and that the Arc Angels sing from time-to-time for you as you paint.
For those who do not know of the 'Mandarin Jacket' I have posted it below. She would be a good one to study with the 'Paxton Palette'!
Boy! I mean, Girl! Are you lucky!!!!
