Ah. So that's what it's called; the kind of painting i do. Something to do with "the proliferation of the so called 'easy do', 'unschooled' and 'no-brainer-feel-good' art".
I love Robert Genn's work and his marvellous Painter's Keys Twice-Weekly Newsletter - you really should subscribe if you haven't already @
- but sometimes labels get thrown around too much for my taste. It can get a bit judgemental when some of the commenting artists express their opinions.
And that's ok. Everyone has a right to their opinion. And labels seem to be very important to a lot of people. Hey, even i get into them myself sometimes (in a hopefully much less judgmental way).
So, in the name of fun and playfulness, I will take that label of "No-brainer-feel-good Art" and embrace it with joy.
This is how i want to paint right now. I want to paint simple daily situations in a simple folk-art fun style, because it is what i want on my OWN walls. Big stress in the real world warrants simple fun paintings in my world!
That's how i see it . . . for now.
