Salvador Dali on the topic of fear:

Last Year's Fears - a group exhibition I'm curating featuring 19 artists who have painted something they are afraid of will open tomorrow night, Jan. 29th at Galerie Abyss (1520 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montreal)! On the facebook event page, I've been posting one quote about fear per day. Today's fear quote: master surrealist, Salvador Dali!

See you all tomorrow night!

Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter by James Gurney

I've been learning so much from this book since I bought it 2 months ago. 'Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter' by James Gurney. Excellent comprehensive resource for any painter (regardless of medium) wanting to understand and incorporate more of those two devices into their work. 

(Available online and in most book stores. If you buy it directly from James Gurney, he'll even sign it for you: http://jamesgurney.com/site/213/color-and-light-a-guide-for-the-realist-painter )
