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!

A NEW ARTICLE

A new article published on the blog of Creative Catalyst was just published regarding the role of art societies and why one should enter them. Of course, I authored the piece, but it is worthy of your attention if you are at all interested in entering painting shows, or are a painter. Just click on the word 'blog' above.

A most thoughtful writing Mike and by being transparent and sharing your own struggle with showing your work you encourage others to move bravely forward. Thank you for your encouraging words.
