Hi Karen,
I am your old friend from France 1998. I think of you quite often and your importance in opening my mind to the classical and technical knowledge I was seeking
since childhood. God bless Ted and what he transmitted to young people and the world. I lived a beautiful life in art, as a teacher, artist, corporate designer and quite frankly more than dabbling in all of the arts. I looked at your profile, the U-Tube of you speaking to your students and as i admired you and your talents years ago,
I certainly do now. Next year i will be eighty. I continued to paint and draw, discovering after I retired from teaching on 2016(age 70), only one local college actually taught life drawing. The teachers that began to come into my school system were vastly different then my school teachers growing who were actually accomplished artists. Enclosed I have included a couple of paintings. Thank you again for our friendship at that time so long ago.
warmest wishes(glad to see your arthritis did not hold you back.

Comment on Interview with Christopher W. Benson by Susan Abbott

Wonderful paintings, Christopher, and it’s also refreshing to hear your critique of the contemporary “academy” and careerism that control painting today. Big art institutions want to be be both the powers-that-be that dictate value in culture AND the creative rebels, and you can’t have it both ways. Like you, I’m grateful that I went to art school before elitism took over, and we could still be taught by painters who focussed on observation, experimentation, and learning from the masters of our craft.

Sharon, I know this is very late, but I was just doing some research on Barney and I think you were the one that asked on another site if anyone knew about his background, because you have relatives with the same name.. I’m his niece and know a little. Let me know if you want to communicate.

Judith green was not a graduate of the Slade School of Art. It is banal to suggest so. Mistakes abound.
