    I dont think you can beat John Constable for capturing the precious moment of life working with nature at a very balanced time and place on Earth.







    And this is amazing as are all of his interpretations:

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    I find Constable very difficult in that while his influence and undoubted ability deserves its place in British Art history personally I find it a bit twee and it just reminds me of my Grandma's place mats. It has been so mass produced on tea towels etc that it has become a bit ubiquitous. He certainly knew a lot about light and how to render it.

    Another favourite is the super realist sculptor Ron Mueck



    So far quite interesting but not especially original until you factor in his contextual use of scale

    I'm a big fan of Doug Hyde. Love loads of his stuff.

    Here are some bad examples!

    Dali and Escher for me.

    I cant draw a proper stickman. My Granddad was an incredible pencil artist especially nature. I remember watching him look at the picture of the grizzly on the front page of Canadian Magazine and sketching the subject while not looking at the drawing paper. I'm sure he was using the corner of his eyes but he never turned his head.
