As much as I like winter, sometimes it there can be long stretches of grey and wintery wearyness. It was such an amazing burst of colour to see the Norval Morrisseau exhibition at the National Gallery. He is the first aboriginal artist to have a solo exhibtion at the National Gallery. It is on until April, and a Must See show...all that beautiful colour and life and shapes and energy. Bring a sketchbook and take some time to look at the details. These paintings will make you want to go crazy with colour. I know I do not do a Morrisseau any justice, but here's my sketch, with some colour and digital manipulation added with photoshop. I have to go back just to be near these amazing paintings again...
