Today we went to Will Puckett's house- I LOVED this field trip- it was such a pleasure to see how artist's live- it was such a personal experience- ok I do have to say that it smelled like straight up pot when we walked in there - but I figure most artists do some sort of drugs- But Will's work was very developed. He has his own style- and its so apparent in everyone of his paintings- like if I walked by a picture he did I would immediately recognize it as his work. I loved his house too- the kitchen was adorable- it was so vintage. The color schemes in his paintings are so expressive and help create a mood in all of his work. I liked how he didnt tell us at first that the mural that he did represented each one of the stores there because I didnt realize it until halfway looking through it. I guess you could say that is kind of "selling out" yourself, but hey if he wanted to do it thats all that matter and it looks amazing. He did have a freedom and thought more commercially then personally- which is fine, but i wouldnt want to get stuck doing work like that.
