look for the underlying skills in drawing in all forms of art.\u00a0 If an artist has not had a lot of figure drawing courses in their studies, it is\u00a0 apparent.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing is the core of all art forms.\u00a0\u00a0 You need a good background in DRAWING \u00a0to make\u00a0 great ART.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing is the scaffolding on which a work of art is held together.\u00a0 For this reason, I love the abstract\u00a0 paintings and drawings of Joan Miro&#8217; and Willem deKooning.<\/p>\n<p>I have always loved the energetic and playful work of \u00a0Spanish artist, Joan Miro&#8217; and I \u00a0have a number of books with photos of his paintings on my studio shelves.\u00a0 Drawing is the backbone of all art forms.\u00a0 Drawing is the essential element in this art work.<\/p>\n<p>What art works \u00a0would you like to see in person at an art exhibition?<\/p>\n<p>See more work by MIRO&#8217; at the \u00a0Park West Gallery exhibition, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkwestgallery.com\/behind-the-artist-joan-miro\/\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Did you notice the very colorful little sculpture on the book shelf in my photo?\u00a0 I found this delightful little sculpture in Prague, Czech Republic one summer.\u00a0 I was walking down the steep hill from the Prague Castle, towards the Old Town, and I saw an art gallery.\u00a0 I would never pass up an opportunity to go into an art gallery!\u00a0 There, I saw this precious sculpture.\u00a0 I was with my daughter, Salome&#8217; that summer in Prague. We both bought a lot of art\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in galleries and from the street vendors.\u00a0 The one thing I cam home from Europe with each summer, was a suitcase full of art and books about art.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Prague_Bird_Books-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

are a couple of walls in my studio where I have book shelves.\u00a0\u00a0In one area the books are all poetry or books about writing poetry.\u00a0\u00a0Poetry is my favorite genre in writing and reading.\u00a0\u00a0When you are studying over the many years for your degrees, you will read a very wide array of work in all genres. But as you mature, you will begin to focus on the are that you find your passion to be in. For me, it is poetry and thoughtful personal essays that I like best. This is my specialization in literature.\u00a0\u00a0In addition to the degrees in fine art studio, I also earned a MA in English &#8211; specializing in poetry.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8471\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/the-week-in-photos_love\/songsofgod_rita\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1983&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1983\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DSC-HX300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1613090329&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.84&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SongsOFGod_Rita\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C793&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8471\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita.jpg?resize=300%2C232&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Book by Rita Choy Ng\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C793&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C595&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1190&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1586&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SongsOFGod_Rita-scaled.jpg?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Above:\u00a0\u00a0 Rita Choy Ng &#8211; a Chinese-Canadian artist authored two books that are on my studio library shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Rita came to Austria to study with me in the summer of 1998.\u00a0 At that time she was working on her BFA degree in Painting.
