I watched this months ago and today because I was painting and wanted to hear the conversation, I tuned in again. I didn't catch it the first time when Mark Eanes mentioned an artist who had influenced him - Kurt Schwitter. Of course I had to stop painting and heck him out since I am loving collage. Hard to believe he was creating nearly 100 years ago but his work is still fresh and exciting, Thanks, Nick - and thanks Mark!
🎉 great interview… I love both of your works, and to hear input of Mark’s thoughts is absolutely priceless. Thank you both for sharing! ❤ I learn so much by listening.
Oh I just love his style. Because I totally relate. I’m a mixed media artist and I always must use paint and colllage in a painting. And I’m always trying to create old walls, old doors, old caves, just so kool. Like he said I’m trying to create a history. Awesome interview, just loved it.
Inspiring conversation between 2 esteemed artists. Thank you. I remember the first Van Gogh I saw at a museum. Spending almost an hour with it, I stood to the side and studied what he did with a palette knife and ‘tons’ of paint. He was a sculptor. (A docent dragged me away, saying I was too close to the artwork - how else to learn?)
This is a wonderful interview and I'm so happy I went down the rabbit hole and found Nick and Mark Eanes on this video. Extremely affirming and motivating.
took a few notes, for myself and other viewers. Larry McClary, artist. (sp?) There is a beg. a middle and an end to the work... In the beginning, you have at it.... chaos... super curiosity... you are fearful, there is dread, joyful, excited... You just start. lots of room for lots of changes. ... Middle.... chaos is starting to coalesce. Preservation, hierarchy... still plenty of room for change,...and there is some pain, because of investment. End. more careful. less painting, more looking. turning the canvas... why working on more than one is important. To have fresh sight. Start as a stone mason, finish as a jeweller. A good painting just stops at a food place... is never really done.. reminds me of poem-making. each phase also has a beg. a middle and an end... nine phases. This reminds me of Terry Frost, whom I studied painting with in 1975. He could come and tell you where you had missed a grey, and which number it was. And it was not just 1-10! I wish I had those days video’d, what a treasure that would be. This discussion has been wonderful, have so enjoyed it. yes, “look at the spaces around the figure,” Terry Frost taught that. It makes for such better work.
Hi! Nicholas This was a great informative conversation with Mark Eanes. I just started following your journey and looking forward to navigating thru all your resources. I know it’s a year since the interview but I I am looking for a color theory instructional book and Mark Eans in your conversation mentioned a David I believe he said, David Horne’s has a book on this topic. Not sure but I’m hoping you might know and can you share please that information with me. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you, your great!!!
What a great conversation! Thank you!
Great video. Thx for sharing! Very inspiring and confirming!

Wonderful to see you two together! Your art is spectacular, and I love your teaching your language of design course!!! 💖
So helpful to hear how Mark has learned over time to consistently imbue his work with what inspires or excites him. Thanks for this.
Fantastic and open discussion, rich with gems. Thank you.

Great word on “where are we at in the painting “
What an informative conversation just listened for the second time. Made me think of essay writing with a thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Thank you
Thank you for revisiting!
This was inspiring. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Informative conversation - a big yes - but ... the dude is an artist, where are his paintings?
great interview
Assimilate, distill, synthesize... that's good.
hm! “Text / Context” is so inspiring....
Tons o’ wonder 🙂
I see abstract art as a philosophy studied by humbled scholars.
May I suggest that while your guest speaks you refrain from making noise? It's difficult to understand your guest.
How discouraging -- it takes YEARS to "get good"! Sigh.
