Painting of the Day Saks Galleries Cherry Creek Walt Gonske Internationally honored Taos Artist Walt Gonske "Tea Tea" 32 x 36 Oil on Canvas "In the past, I would have an idea for a painting and hold to that idea through to the finish.  I could pretty much see the end result before I started.  There were no surprises.  But now my understanding of the process is that the idea is just the first impulse.  From that first impulse forward, improvisation takes over.  The end result is not about that first idea, but is instead a record of all those impulses along the way.  Each stroke of paint carries emotion and power.  I work in a loose, painterly style in part because I want the viewer to see the process and not hide it behind 'finish;' for the viewer to maybe even feel how a particular piece of paint was put down.??   Painting is not about reproducing nature.  I like the notion that art should have more to do with the communication of the artist's emotions to the viewer through the paint itself."    < For more information on Walt Gonske please review his artist page > Walt Gonske represented by Denver's Oldest Art Gallery  Saks Galleries Cherry Creek Celebrating Living Artfully for 50 years 3019 E. 2nd Avenue Denver, Colorado 80206 303.333.4144 info@saksgalleries.com www.saksgalleries.com
