Hi Everyone,
If you could have any super power what would it be? Okay, I'm going to tell you mine, but don't think I'm too strange:) I have always wished I could make myself invisible and be able to slip through walls in this state. Why? you ask? Because I love to see people's homes, how they decorate. Maybe it goes back to my roots as an Interior Designer, but I just love taking a tours of homes. So when I stumbled across this book "Norman Rockwell Behind the Camera", I was instantly interested.
This book gives you the inside scoop on how he set up his paintings. His models and the stories he told in his paintings. As the daughter of a photographer I always thought you wanted to spontaneously catch a moment, and that creeps into my thoughts on paintings sometimes. However, one of my favorite things to do is set up a still life and photograph it. So I just loved seeing Norman Rockwell's process. I'm sure this will have an influence on how I set up my paintings in the future.
I'd love to hear how you set up your paintings. What does the behind the scenes look like in your artistic space?
Carrie
