Blog postThis is a play on the title of the famous song from the 1930's "I got Rhythm" by George Gershwin, with lyrics by his brother Ira.
That song was so popular, and so well constructed it became the basis for many other songs. The chord progression is known to jazz musicians as " Rhythm changes" and became the basis for many jazz instrumentals.
Gershwin was a Tin Pan Alley songwriter who later composed one of the most popular piano concertos of the 20th century -
Blog postThe late Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb
I talk about story telling in all my art classes. Here is a piece of pop music story telling expertly and wittily explained by Mark Steyn: Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Webb and the utility worker.
Excerpt: " I had been driving around northern Oklahoma, an area that's real flat and remote – almost surreal in its boundless horizons and infinite distances."
"I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the m -

Blog postWow! What a great start to the year!
January 2017 has been the best month ever at Inglis Academy.
What do I mean, the best month?
I have a simple metric: How many original paintings entered the world at Inglis Academy? And the answer is, about 50. Yep, that's a good month. Fifty people who have stepped into the arena and created something beautiful.
This is going to be a great year!

Blog postBeneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Words from 'Advance Australia Fair'.

Blog postGreat! Making the effort to travel to the great museums of Europe and view the original masterworks is a worthy pilgrimage.
Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Or is it?
About 30% of the works in major museums are 'fakes', or as artists would say 'masterful recreations', but that shouldn't diminish one's enjoyment. A masterful work is a masterful work, regardless of its provenance.
People without training will see art on the surface level, and that is fine. With the development o -

Blog postOne of the great gifts of Western Art is that it helps us to see the world more clearly.
Most of us lead busy lives. We don't really have much time to stand gazing at the horizon and staring at clouds.
But with the mental tools of western art we can get more enjoyment out of even a moment of observation.
A symphony of colour at Mt. Wilson.
My interpretation of the scene.
If you've done a masterwork painting with me you know that we start each session wi -
Blog postOne of my main inspirations for teaching masterworks to beginners was the work of John Myatt.
John Myatt is possibly the most sucessful art forger in history. He was commissioned to paint reproductions of hundreds of masterwork paintings, which were later sold as originals by a third party. Hundreds of these works were authenticated and sold at auction houses such as Sothebys and Christies. Eventually he was charged with art forgery, convicted and served time in prison.

Blog postNorth Sydney Notices is a new broadsheet based on Sydney's lower North Shore. It focuses on western culture and education. How refreshing!
The editor, Jordan Grantham, was kind enough to interview me about Inglis Academy and he produced a stunning two page feature article, in which I talk about the aims and goals of the Academy.

Blog postGetting ready for Xmas?
I know I am, because I've been too busy too write another witty dissection of 20th century art, or even reference somebody else's witty dissection of 20th century art.
So, instead, here's something completely different. Those of you who have attended the "Paint a Masterwork" sessions know I always have music playing, and I will often relate elements of the musical construction to what we are painting.
So, here I am playing some m -

Blog postIn this short and entertaining video Alain de Botton puts forward a few good ideas about the value of visual art. I have paraphrased some of his comments.

Blog postTake a moment to look at the differences in these paintings.
My talented class one Saturday in November 2015 showing off their paintings of Toukley Beach, north of Sydney, Australia.
You can see by the smiles that a good afternoon was had by all. They should be proud. The have applied themselves with concentration and focus to transform a blank canvas into a thing of beauty. This class proved yet again again that creativity need not be taught. Everybody is creative. They mak -
Blog postThe Cezanne postcards arrived today!
Inglis Academy postcard Series 1, no.2. Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) Still Life with Apples, 1890 35 x 46 cm | Style: Post-impressionism
Cezanne said "with an apple I will astonish "Paris. And he did. But it's difficult for the modern eye to see why, because his innovations became intrinsic to the language of western art.
Learn to paint this work yourself in one "Paint a Masterwork" session at Inglis Academy.

Blog postWhy is much modern art so bad?
Because it lacks aesthetic sensibility, rhythm and a bunch of other things.
Mr. Florczak left out the destructive effect of post-modernism and it's nihilistic word games. But this video is a great conversation starter.
Why is Modern Art so Bad? A video about why so much modern art is just so bad, with artist Robert Florczak:For two millennia, great artists set the standard for beauty. Now those standards are gone. Modern art is a competiti -
Blog postI've sometimes thought of framing my aprons and selling them as "in the style of Jackson Pollock". I could probably write a book about how to do it. It might sell really well.
But I won't do either of those things. Why not?
This is my apron. Not a Jackson Pollock. What is the difference?
