Tuesday is artist appreciation day & today it’s all about the work of Boyd Greene, another artist I found via Twitter.
Artist of the Week
Today’s artist isn’t necessarily a horse artist, but an all around artistic guy. His art reflects his love of the outdoors and his flowers look so fresh I want to reach out & touch them. His love of horses (especially Clydesdales) stems from his childhood & so does his drawing.
Keeping Up With Boyd
Be sure to visit his website at boydgreene.com & subscribe to his blog at boydgreeneart.typepad.com to see his latest stuff & you can always find Boyd on Twitter to keep up with his work. Here are some quick quotes & my favorite images from his interview, you can read the whole interview here.
“Growing up on a small farm and having lots of woods to explore around my home gave me a deep appreciation for nature and animals.
“I always strive to tap into an animal’s or scene’s raw beauty by understanding it thoroughly, often taking 200 photos of a single subject to find its best angle.”
“I find great satisfaction in exploring for subjects to paint as it furthers my understanding of a particular subject; as I learn more about what makes it unique by close study and observation.”
“The Internet has definitely helped me to connect with a lot of people but I’m just on the brink of where I plan to go.”
