Joan Mitchell - Sunflowers. 1992- brush detail.
There is a small Joan Mitchell exhibition presently at Tate Modern.
Thoroughly recommended, apart from Tate Modern's insistence on exhibiting nearly everything on brilliant white walls.
What is wrong with them? Don't they understand how it destroys perceived colour saturation and rendition?
They have ruined half of their current Blaue Reiter show in the same way.

When I look to be free some times I find Im really chained to old pains. But some times It is me that put on the chains. Perhaps to brake that chain I need to let go of the old things. Freedom is being free of what holds me down. Some times to go foreword I have to stop and forgive someone and that might even be me.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

AJ'S blog:
Her picture display moved me deeply--so dedicated and effective in using her art for social change. I felt humbled by the power and force of her message. Was an honor to meet her and see her work.
Carolyn Monastra: Brooklyn
SEEING BEYOND realism in landscapes, creating and discovering mystery in the natural world.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Carolyn Monastra received her MFA in photography from The Yale School of Art. For the past fifteen years her work has focused on creating and discovering mystery in the natural world. Artist residencies at The Djerassi Foundation, Blue Mountain Center, and the Saltonstall Foundation have given her inspirational environments in which to create her work. After being on a residency at the Skaftfell Visual Arts Center in Iceland, Carolyn was motivated to begin her current project, The Witness Tree, a project to honor and preserve places affected by climate change. Over the past four years she has visited nineteen US states, seventeen countries and every continent researching and photographing for this project. In 2012, she was selected by The Climate Reality Project to become one of their Climate Leaders. Some of Carolyn’s awards include a production grant from The Puffin Foundation, a travel grant from the English Speaking Union, and a multi-media fellowship from BRIC. Her work is in the Marguiles collection in Miami and has been exhibited in venues across the United States and in China, Northern Ireland, and Switzerland. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
This is another work in a Long Series Of Artists and their Art, Local n Out of Town Artists, Administrative Folks of Museums and Arts Centers, Board Members of SAMA. Fellow Allied Artists in our little tribe.
A collection of my new Friends and Supporters as I learn how to be a Public Artist. Plus, I'm sure, others I'll meet along the way.
I view this collection as a future project to be seen on the walls of museums n art centers a few years from now.
This is my reconstruction of an analog artist using and engaging in the ancient Artistic medium of photo-taking n looking at regular pictures into a 21st.-Century Digital Fractal Painting Visual.

In anticipation of the events that will take place in the autumn and winter of this year, I think about the good and art anyway. You can enjoy beauty forever and ever. It's a gift got us from above. Why not use it, in this difficult and transitional time. Just relax and realize everything is fickle and fickle, but there are things that have existed before us and that will exist after us. And we are unknowingly part of them.
