Oh. Wow. Great interview with Scott, Margie! Loved experiencing his work and learning about his progress. Thanks so much!
Great interview Marji and Scott, thank you so much. Instructive and inspirational, and as a landscape painter moving into abstract, it was so informative to listen to and see Scott’s approach and love of colour – my own inspiration. Helped me enormously to have the confidence to inject more of myself and my perception of colour into my work and to draw abstract shapes from the landscape in front of me. Will watch it over and over!!
