Brushstrokes to Sponges

By Richard Jeremy Warburg

Book Overview

Richard Warburg has no formal education in painting or art. He does have various advanced degrees, but these all relate to the other side of his brain, particularly the one in law. Many people will assume that that makes him dead to the creative world. The collection in this book shows that this is not so. In fact it demonstrates that even a scientist can access the far side of the brain to outstanding effect.Richard is self taught. He has never taken lessons in how to hold a brush, how to mix paint or how to do anything related to art. What started his painting career was that he began to dream about images, and these dreams were vivid and persistent. He also felt the urge to try to paint, to hold a brush and feel the flow of the paint on canvas. Richard began painting one bright afternoon, while in his kitchen in Maui. He had a 16x20 inch canvas, an easel, a brush and some tubes of acrylic paint, some of which he squeezed onto wax paper. He then grabbed hold of the brush and the moment he touched put brush to paint the image developed as if by magic.Richard has never looked back, and the many images reproduced in this book will give an idea of the scope of his work. Of course they are two-dimensional images, while the actual art is three dimensional, but this book does give an indication of the scope of Richard's work.Enjoy
