Sarah, I saw that and anyone who actually paints under water deserves to be in Watermarks;>)

isnt he a star that lad Kurt. His work is great, very passionate and elemental and what a studio, wish I had that sort of space, oh and the sell out shows would be good too!
Did you see the vidio of him painting underwater!! That is extream plien air, or perhaps plein eau!

Thanks Ronell, Gesa, Vivien and Jeanette. I'm just...

Thanks Ronell, Gesa, Vivien and Jeanette. I'm just totally amazed watching him create his paintings. He has that controlled chaos that makes his work so exciting. I also like how he's very concerned with the health of the land. This new tree project has some pretty interesting conceptual underpinnings.

This is very interesting Lindsay. Kurt's work is wonderful and love how unpretentious he is. Everyone should be this way and perhaps most artists are, just the art critics prefer to create something different.

I would love to see his work in person, the scale and subject would be great. The move over into trees has its appeal as well and may be combined with water.

Great post Lindsay :>) and I so agree about the marks, the story of the making of the painting being important.

There are more videos on the Messum link the kurtjackson.com - and I've done my follow on post as we arranged :>)

This is a great post... I say without even having watched the video... Hm, I very much like the idea of KJ working on trees (makes me think of fields and woods); now: to research the possibility to get to London before the end of the month.
Thank you, Lindsay!

Stacy I'm so glad you like his work. I agree with you about his expressing his doubt...He's on of the UK's hottest painters and its reassuring that he has some of the same junk running through his head that all of us do too!

Lindsay, thank you so much for the link to Kurt Jackson's videos. I somehow had not heard of him before. It watched the "Picture of Cornwall" video and found it absolutely fascinating! His work is fantastic and I love that he doesn't at all treat it like it is precious. I also loved that he freely talked about his doubts during the creation process - things like not wanting to have a sleepless might worrying about if he will ever again paint a good painting. I guess no matter how successful you are, at some level we are all the same. Now I'm off to follow Katherine's link. Thanks again!

Thanks very much Katherine. I love this new work o...

Thanks very much Katherine. I love this new work of his and ordered the catalogue. Wish I could join you in seeing the new exhibit!

That's a really great idea Lindsay!

You've shown me the link to this video before (privately) but I never get tired of him - and I really appreciate why you and Vivien like him so much.

He's got an exhibition on at Messum's this month (14th-31st January)- I think I have to go and look!

This is the link to the exhibition - looks like he's switched his focus to trees Forest Gardens
