Chapter 8: My Thoughts

Philip Pearlstein ( a day to day artist) reminds me of my cousin who lives in Italy. Her name is Paola and she is a fellow artist herself. She reminds me of Pearlstein because of how they have the same lifestyle. The author, Kimmelman , was basically restating what my cousin Paola does day to day in her studio. She has her own unique style of doing things. Paola has inspired me to trybti jump into making art, but every single time I try to, I could never actually do it. My art that I would create on a canvas could never be as original as hers. She has that certain stroke that wraps the whole piece of artwork together. All of her paintings have stories about them that are from her previous experiences and adventures in Italy. Though she spoke about telling me her adventures, but never got to it. It was all about her artwork. Her artwrok is a always a specific style that she gets inspired from in a mood that she would be feeling that day. Back to how she reminds me of Pearlstein, she always lives day to day with creating her original artworks. If you were to see what she creates, you would be enchanted not knwoing how to explain it. It would be that confusing to try and figure out. It would be a puzzle , just like how I think that Pearlstein's works are like. Working day to day in routine makes you more committed to getting a piece of artwork done. It shows a deep a passion that makes you want you to get it done once you start.Paola I believe has tried to do nudes before , but I have never seen them up close. So, I do not know if she still has them or not. I think that Paola is the next generation of Pearlstein by how close in working the same that they are.
