In this episode, Kevin discusses his lifelong passion for art, how physical challenges like poor eyesight influenced his impressionistic style, and his innovative "magic grid" technique that enhances his compositions. He also recounts how meeting teachers and mentors changed his perspective on his vision for his work as well as traveling extensively throughout his life. He also tells us about his new book "Reflections on a Pond" which took over 10 years to complete. The book chronicles a full year of the view of the pond in his backyard, thus turning it into a poetic journal of his work. Kevin emphasizes the importance of painting for yourself, staying curious, and to paint what inspires you, not just chase the market. He also shares his advice for aspiring artists to focus on continuous improvement rather than perfection as that is the key to having success. Finally, Kevin tells us about his upcoming workshops at his home studio!Kevin's FASO site:https://www.kevinmacpherson.com/Kevin's new book "Reflections on a Pond":https://www.kevinmacpherson.com/book/2832/reflections-on-a-pond-hard-cover-bookKevin's upcoming workshops:https://www.kevinmacpherson.com/workshopsKevin's Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/kevinmacphersonart
