Loved this interview! Some notable quotes: "The reason I want to be a good craftsman is to get out of the way so that stuff I have to say is not clouded by the weak craftsmanship" " You have to embody the emotion you want to convey" "Negative thoughts enter paintings" " excellence over perfectionism". Very inspirational. Thank you Jeff and Michelle!
Great thoughts she brings here. As she speaks, I think of doing her portrait too. There would need to be two portraits, one with the wonderful full smile, and one with the quiet beauty of her face in thought.
Thank you! Michelle inspired me so much years ago when I saw a video of her and Susan Lyon talking about art. Still tell people the karate story she told. So lovely also to see artists talk about their process with certain paintings. 😊
So glad I found you! This was great. And Michelle who I was brave enough to take a course from. Will be listening to all the podcasts while I paint. Can't get better than that.... thank you.
Listening to Michelle brought out emotions that gave me a reason for why i paint. We so often question ourselves for "what reason "do we put brush to canvas. Thank you so much for your podcast Jeff.😊
What a wonderful podcast! I really enjoyed listening to Michelle and all she had to say about capturing a person's spirit! Thanks for recording all these inspiring artists and helping us learn from them!
Thanks so much for interviewing Michelle Dunaway. This was so inspirational! I loved how you guys talked about getting good enough, so as not to get in the way of the message you are trying to convey - and the importance of capturing a person's essence - their spirit.
Love the story about Richard's phone call. Hosting the Putney Painters in Scottsdale was the most incredible experience. And my trip to Putney, Vermont was very special. I have a story about what "Genius" means to me that I need to share with you both sometime. I AM such a fan of Michelle and her paintings! Thanks to both of you.
Wonderful interview. Michelle, you have such a kind and compassionate spirit. It comes through in everything you do. 🙏🏻 Jeff, while I am just getting to know you, and I’ve only listened to four of your podcasts so far, I’m a big fan of the way you handle these conversations. I look forward to getting to know your work as well. Kudos to both of you.
Thank you for this podcast! Michelle is a wonderful mentor to me & has really helped me to improve in my art journey! I love her art & listening to her so thanks for the interview!!!
Illuminating, inspiring, and instructional. Thank you!
