This past tuesday I got the chance to go visit my painting teachers open studio. Its aways fascinating to see a professors work and I'm almost always surprised. Drumheller's works were all very well done as I expected but what I hadn't seen coming was his choice of subject. His paintings of miniature animal figures were awesome and very different from the landscapes and lighthouses with crashing waves that I had expected. Also his works of his wife in the empty museum were interesting. His study examined someone whom he had known for 30 years but asking him self who this woman really was? and taking an unbias approach at painting her. It really gives an almost stocker feel to the paintings but upon second glace they were carefully mapped out with her composition between these amazing historic sculptures. If I could buy any piece it would have to be one of his smaller painting. I really enjoyed the smaller ones cause he would work allot more with color and apply layer upon layer of paint until it looked like rice cripys had been put underneath.
