Jackson Pollock is one of my favorite artists. I first learned about him in college and I was immediately mesmerized by his artwork. I remember standing in front of his paintings at the High Museum of Art, in awe of the size and the complexity of the drips and splatters of paint. I loved the layers of paint and I felt pulled into each work of art. Traditional painting wit a brush is fun, but flinging, splattering and dripping paint is particularly enjoyable.
