Thank you Jana for watching “your brush with nature” I am one of the executive producers of the series. Yes, we really try to make these episodes different from all the other art shows that are broadcast. I think we came up with a unique format for the series and we are presently filming season 3. Again thanks for watching and I will visit you again soon with an update, Dave T

I think I’ll just come to your blog for info about art videos, TV etc. I’m afraid I’ve already missed some of these, though I have seen Power of Art, and after several of them, I’m just beginning to get tired of the format. Good though.

Jana, How about a painting lesson on video by YOU! Now that would be wonderful. As for The Power Of Art series, I turned it on last week while my parents were visitng, and was totally embarrassed by what he said about Bernini’s sculpture of the nun with them sitting there! Yikes!

We have hardly any TV art shows here. I like your Bart sketches - you’r getting better, I think.

Jana–

My son rides on Bart daily from Concord into The City. I will remind him to keep an eye out for a woman artist who feverishly draws during her ride on Bart.

I rarely have time for television and honestly, most art shows are boreing. I learn so much more from artist like you who take time show us what and how it’s done and encourage as well. But if you get your own art show I’ll be sure to watch!!!
I love your train sketches. Unfortunately I have to drive to work and must keep my hands on the wheel!!!

Thanks Annie, I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking the show could have a lot more about the artist and HIS (they all seem to be men) paintings!

Casey, we may have TV shows about art but I’m sure you have wonderful art all around you there!

Love your subway sketches, Jana.

I was tickled by your comments re Schama. I just saw his piece about Turner– well, there didn’t seem
to be as much Turner as there was ocean, frothing and crashing– I suppose to represent the supposed inner turmoil of the artistic vision. None in the series
that I have seen shows much of the artist’s work.

Great job on the sketches, Jana. It sounds like you’re getting some really interesting television shows about art - I wish we did over here.
