Lady in the light
Story and Artwork from Philip Fairbairn
My name is Philip Fairbairn I am an artist, I paint oil on linen. I have been involved in art for over 50 years. I have never been a big fan of art studios or contests really. When I finish a painting most times it’s just disappears, One of my daughters have found it. Later on, in a visit I usually see it hanging on the wall. A few times I have tested them by painting large paintings 4‘ x 4‘ when it’s finished I just chuckle and walk away from the easel wondering where they’re going to put this one. Some paintings they cannot obtain these are the ones my wife will not let them touch.
I have the same afflictions that Leonardo da Vinci had it seems I find it hard to concentrate on just one thing, I do many different things, I play instruments, write music, I study science, and I like to invent machinery that is needed in every day work settings. and a painting somehow ends up finished on the easel. I need help drawing, it always feels like a struggle to me.
Sure I get the drawing finished but it always feels like I’m walking through the mud up to my knees and it’s a sigh of relief when I finish. Many times I have spent enjoying the videos from the drawing academy through them I guess I feel the freedom of drawing it’s very attractive.
I want to win the Drawing Academy contest. I don’t want people to vote for me I want people to vote for the second when their eyes look at a painting, And they are Transcended to another place in their mind for a brief moment, this is where a vote belongs.
