Painter's Jive - Fellow artists come to 515

Over the last few weeks I was graced with crits by fellow contemporary painters. Painting is wonderfully isolating - when I paint I think nothing beyond paint application, form and color - however when I open my studio doors to compatriots I feel connected to a greater nation. A nation built with stretchers and canvas, her citizens nurtured by ramen, our constitution written by our art teachers. We speak in similar tongues, crit speak, painters jive. We reference other painters, talk about struggle and conflict, we lap up praise and contemplate next moves.

So thanks guys! And without further ado here they are...
