Laurel Sternberg's Gallery

Laurel, sorry for my bad English, I want to improve the art of etching  and try other media, what kind of support do you mean?

Hi Laurel, yes I am interested in growth as an artist.

Hi Laurel, I'm enjoying exploring the juxtaposition of abstract and representational approaches to art.

Thanks, Laurel.  I'm trying to get my drawing skills up to snuff; I want a career in art, not Burger King.  I'm going to school for Game Art and Design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, but my main focus is on traditional art skills.  I believe that if my technical art creation abilities are strong, it can only enhance my performance with computer animation and game design.  I really like your work.  Your subjects really come alive.

Hi Laurel, Glad you found my work. I thought this site was closing down so I rarely check it anymore. I appreciate your taking the time to look at my images. Love the musical instruments you paint, my sons play trombone and sax.

All the best,

jk

HI Laurel! Thanks so much for your feedback on my work, I really appreciate the time you spent looking over my work and typing a response.

I love your work, I am super impressed by your technical skill. You are seasoned and masterful creator.

Thank you again for your critique!!!

Phew,glad you got them,yes I am self taught,does it show? Also glad you think my composition is good,it does worry me sometimes as I never really plan it.

I have not painted anything since I lost my husband 9mths ago,every day including today I promise myself I will try,but the day goes and paints are still in the tin.

Do you manage to paint often,you must do I think,you seem to master so many subjects.

Hello Laurel,many thanks for your positive feedback on Fishermans Lot II.No I and No III sold within a couple of weeks for a very good price,this one just "hangs around",couple of years now.Wish I could get a better image of the others for this site.

The Dutch Masters also give me inspiration,I teach Botanical Painting.

Your comments gave me the chance to see your work,beautiful,beautiful.

Hi Laurel,

Thank you so much for the welcome! I am looking for ways to connect with other artists that are out there, because I am so new to the art world and the amount of information that I am able to get from teachers may really be limited. I think that it would be really amazing to be able to make a living doing something that makes me feel so great. I am attending California State University, Chico and am working on an art degree emphasizing in painting and drawing. So far I have submitted a painting to one show (which just began on the 3rd of this month) and it was selected. The show is at a local gallery, but it was considered a "National Juried Watermedia" show and I am really very excited about it. I having been checking the artdeadline website for other shows to submit work to and am looking into a BFA degree program as opposed to the BA. I began my current series of paintings last semester and its really the first time I have been this enthusiastic about what I have chosen as far as concept goes. I feel like the main ideas that fascinate me are human emotion/expression and psychological concepts. I am very lacking in knowledge of contemporary artists to look at as far as figurative work or similar themes. I just started looking at Gottfried Helnwein and one of my teachers just showed me an artist who I think I very much can relate to, Ali Cavanaugh. I would say that I joined the group, "Take it to the next level" to follow what kinds of things other people might be talking about that I may not have thought about. Any advice concerning my artwork and/or how to go about being an artist as a career is greatly appreciated.
