Welcome to M.E. BAILEY ART . . . .

Here you will find adventures in painting. . . . Victories, absolute defeats, frustrations, highs, lows, lessons learned, commentary and thoughts from me and other artists.

As an art instructor, I don't wish to hide the fact that I crash and burn often. I will always be learning. So, it all gets shown here . . .good and bad. Every painting we do counts in the learning and experience process. The failures actually are much better teachers than successes. Every piece made is a teacher. That's the fun of it: the challenge to learn.

SEARCH FOR A WORD IN THE BOX TO THE RIGHT: COLOR, VALUE, PERSPECTIVE, IDEAS, MUSE, PLEIN AIR. . .ETC . . . .YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF PAINTINGS AND IDEAS AS A RESULT. hAVE FUN!

Laying Low

The last few weeks has been wonderful, but hectic. Lots of time away from the studio. I have been 'Laying Low' and not getting anything off the easel . . . .but sure am thinking about it a lot!

Now it's time to rethink and redirect where I am going in this coming year. It is time to set some goals for 2008.

I am in the studio as I write this (yup! A new computer just for the studio!) . . .and calling up something to paint from by bank of photos. I should post in a day or two to get the ball rolling again. Meanwhile, please accept my best wishes and thoughts for a peaceful, yet eventful and rewarding new year!

As Arnold says, "I'll be back!" ;-)
