3 Days of Giveaways for my new CreativeLive class (cr8.lv/fine-art-series) totaling over $3,000! Today: a 3 Legged Thing RayKit tripod valued at $450 USD! To enter, comment: Do you feel awakened to your own potential?
Jerry Uelsmann once said that his greatest goal is to surprise himself. I couldn't agree more. When my art is most innovative, my life feels more alive, aligned. A few months ago I had the idea to paint on glass and overlay it onto my images. Distinctly different from my conceptual work, these images took on emotion+form over concept+idea. It feels new/weird/scary/explorative in ways that excite me in my guts. I love this image with all my heart and can't wait to print it (and the companions) for my home. What would I do without self-portraiture? What would I do without the tools to express myself so deeply? I shudder to think of my life if I had never been awakened to my own potential.
Can you please help me celebrate my new class "Creating a Fine Art Series" by doing 2 things? 1) Comment here to enter the giveaway, and 2) Click this link cr8.lv/fine-art-series to RSVP for the FREE premiere of my class on Tuesday Oct 27 at 9am PST. It will replay for free for 24 hours.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker. She began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia despite her family objections for her becoming a professional artist.
Part of her parents' concern may have been Cassatt's exposure to feminist ideas. Cassatt was a lifelong advocate of equal rights for the sexes.
Mary lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists.
This portrait is loosely based on her photograph as a young woman and it is a part of series of portraits depicting women Impressionists painters.

"Radiator", 2018, 48" x 117", acrylic on panel
Assistance with the production of this work by Maggie Hubbard.
On the morning of April 10, 2018, after tending to my daughter Temma and while standing by her bed, the word “Radiator” came to mind. I liked the word in relation to my experience of Temma who–like a radiator–is relatively static in her presence and yet radiates a kind meaningfulness that belies that stasis. I took a series of photograph of Temma there as she lay in bed: starting the photographing at one end and moving parallel to the bed. Those images–all seeing from straight ahead–were then assembled to create an image that complicates and supersedes our experience of seeing from one place at one time (since one is seeing everything in the resulting image as if from eight different locations at the same time–all straight in front). I did this photographing process a number of times over the following weeks until the version that I ended up using for the painting came along. On that day at the end of that particular photographing session it occurred to me to take the braid (beautiful as it was!) out of Temma’s hair and that tumbling torrent of her hair said “now!”. So it began.
The other paintings in the Radiator project were based on photoworks I had taken previously, each of which suggested (at least to me) some way in which Temma has a kind of (perhaps mystical) agency. The titles are intended to suggest that agency with a single word beginning with R–the latter “limitation” perhaps mirroring the apparently obvious limitation of this profoundly disabled thirty-three year old woman.

“We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images.
Abstract art will have been good for one thing:
to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.”
