How do you get a style? It is the SUM TOTAL of all the workshops, all the shows, all the museum visits, all the art books and art magazines you have read, all the paintings you have painted, the good and the bad ones. In the beginning, you want to paint like "so and so", then, as you get more experience in all the areas I have mentioned, you start developing your own style.

Chateau de Chantilly, France

Chateau de Chantilly, France, watercolor, 10x15 cm. Chantilly is a town 30 km. north of Paris. Chantilly is famous for the beautiful castle, the immense surrounding forest, the horses, and the cream. I painted this little postcard size watercolor sitting on the grass in front of the castle, a couple of days ago. The castle started as a fortress in the early Middle Ages, and has been added to and destroyed a few times since, just till the late 1800 when the Duc d'Aumale had what we see today built, decorated, and prepared to house his extensive collection of paintings and ancient books. The library and the art galleries are magnificent.
Chateau de Chantilly, acuarela. Chantilly es una ciudad a 30 km. al norte de Paris. Chantilly es famosa por su hermoso castillo, los bosques inmensos a su alrededor, los caballos, y la crema. Esta pequena acuarela la pinte sentada en la hierba al frente del castillo hace un par de dias. El castillo comenzo como una fortaleza en la Edad Media temprana, y ha sido construido y destruido varias veces desde entonces, hasta los finales del 1800, cuando el Duc d'Aumale hizo construir y decorar todo lo que se ve hoy, y preparar las habitaciones para albergar su extensa coleccion de pinturas y libros antiguos. La Biblioteca y Galerias de Arte son magnificas.
