The builders on this seafront site in Ramsgate have agreed in principle to the hoarding being painted by artists, schools and local organisations. Could be great. Anyone interested in contributing?

Life Drawing began again this month in Margate and Deal. Feel very rusty!
30th-31st August 2009
Visited friends Peter & Claire in Lewes for their Artwave participation. Both have done some lovely work. Saw Stef and Gitta too which was great. Saw a few other exhibits, the best of which by far was Carolyn Trant. Beautiful, beautiful printmaking. Hand printed illustrations to books of poems by her friend Judith Kazantzis. She was kind enough to show us some of her other work and work in progress when we went to collect a copy of her book 'The Garden of Earthly Delights'. We just had to have it.

Finished the website for Deal Life Drawing Group. Seems to have been met with a favourable response.
So what is Art all about?
Well on June 8th 2009 The Times published the result of a poll, their readers and visitors to the Saatchi Gallery website, of the most significant 200 painters, sculptors, photographers, video and installation artists working since 1900. Blimey - nothing much to discuss there then.

Follow this link to see the 'Top 200' artists.

One of the best things about it are the links provided to relevant websites about the artists which is why I've reproduced the 200 list above. They could have done better. There are some wikipedia links which are OK because they usually have further links but using youtube as a link to artists' work is pathetic. I have removed some as I've looked up certain artists but if you find a good link then email it to me and I'll put it on.

The Times writer clearly shows what he/she thinks of the readers' choices:

"Several artists would seem to be enormously overrated. What is Martin Kippenburger doing in the Top 20, rated above Rothko and Schiele and Klee? It feels like a blip — which is probably appropriate for a radical who likes to barge in irreverently. Frida Kahlo does not merit her top spot of 19. How can this solipsistic painting by-numbers-style recorder of her own misery be placed above Munch, with his otherworldly scream? She probably represents the woman’s vote. But then, why not put Louise Bourgeois far higher — that septuagenarian who, rummaging about in the rag-and-bone shop of the heart, has had so pervasive an influence on future generations?"
(Let's impale the writer on a metal stake and see how miserable he/she is!)

Notable omissions from various sources in no particular order (Google them yourself):

Jack Vettriano
Norman Rockwell
Paul Nash
David Reed
Sarah Morris
Raoul Dufy
Jacob Epstein
Edgar Degas
Walter Anderson
Andrew Wyeth
Thomas Eakins
Daniel Chester French
Maxfield Parrish
Tamara de Lempicka
Yves Tanguy
Robert Oscar Lenkiewicz
Anyone you can think of that should be there?
email me.
Remember 'working from 1900'- Van Gogh, for example, didn't quite make it to 1900.

So what is this all about?
I am Paul Warrick, a web designer, live in Ramsgate, Kent, England. At first it seemed like a good idea to post my drawings to a blog. Maybe it wasn't?
Comments? Please email me.

I go to two life drawing groups every week - one in Margate and one in Deal. Most of the drawings here are 10-30 min poses.
