Summary: <p><em><strong>“You can’t have a thought unless you have a feeling first. So the idea in painting is to freeze the feeling and then let the person have the thought.”</strong></em><strong><br> <br> </strong>Today we are talking with New York painter Brian Rutenberg about all the way in which artists must show up for their work in order to find a deeper truth. Amidst a currently enforced break from his studio it’s reassuring to hear he has the same fear of starting again. We talk about the arc of creating a painting, how to exaggerate to clarify and if painting serves no purpose why is it ultimately such an essential process in understanding and sharing feeling.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Mentioned</strong></p> <p>See Brian's work on his website:<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.brianrutenbergart.com/"><u><strong>http://www.brianrutenbergart.com/</strong></u></a></p> <p>Brian's books on Amazon<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brian-Rutenberg/e/B004SRQH4Y%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share"><u><strong> HERE</strong></u></a></p> <p>Outside the US, Brian's book can be ordered by emailing gallery@forumgallery.com</p> <p>Watch Brian’s videos from his studio on You Tube<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/thomgains1727"><u><strong>HERE</strong></u></a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Sign up for our newsletters at:</p> <p><a href="https://www.alicesheridan.com/podcast">www.alicesheridan.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.louisefletcherart.com/for-artists/podcast/">www.louisefletcherart.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Submit a question at <a href="https://bit.ly/artjuicepodcast">bit.ly/artjuicepodcast</a></p> <p>Buy us a coffee at: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/artjuice">https://ko-fi.com/artjuice</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow us on Instagram:</p> <p>Alice <a href="http://www.instagram.com@alicesheridanstudio/">@alicesheridanstudio</a></p> <p>Louise <a href="http://www.instagram.com/louisefletcher_art">@louisefletcher_art</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><em>Credits</em></p> <p><em>"Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License</em></p>
