In Clark Bending's own words:
"Vibrant colors have always interested me. Paintings by Matisse, Van Gogh and Pissaro inevitably get my attention. So, how did I become an artist? As I attended a Suburban Art Fair, I came across wild phlox, they were purple, blue, in large masses on a stream. The scene was very moving. Encountering the nearest artist on display, I commented that I would love to be able to paint such a scene. His response was: ‘Why not? Take lessons! Do it!’ So I did.
My formal education is limited to continuing education classes in oil and watercolor. I have attended several workshops with local artists. The most significant learning came from an excursion painting in Provence, specifically in Arles and St. Remy, the footsteps of Van Gogh."
