Closeup of some nice pale wood. Beautiful wood - that's why I do these.
My interview on Hallmark Channel's New Morning 7am cable show on November 14, 2007: www.newmorningtv.tv/todaysshow_111407.jsp
A series of layered, "surrealist" pieces, part of my "Process Art" work, this time done in black and white. Why should powerful and unusual pieces always be in vivid colours? I wanted to try my hand at B&W surrealism as a way to expand my vocabulary - and hopefully come up with something effective.

In December, I will be having my first solo photography show, in a gallery in Swampscott. This is the image I've just ordered as an icing sheet for the cake... so people can take their time and eat it, too.
If you are around, drop on in!

So much of our lives now, are completely circumscribed by a kind of mad obsession with technology, with the thinking mind, the analytical mind, the so-called 'scientific' mind, but all of these are just different belief systems, each with it's own dogmas and doctrines. Such things can fuel progress, whatever that really is, and the delights of working, playing and creating in them, such as making pictures like these, have a great appeal and drawing power. But we mustn't forget the natural world and our place as integrated with it. If we go too far in our anthropocentric delights we might find ourselves in a place very far removed from what we are. Would we be able to find our way back? View Large on Black.
Foundation Seminar Studio 2 w/ Eike Wintzer; Freshman Year at the Art Institute of Boston
part of a series of 25 9x9 compositions entitled "Art History Appropriation and Reference"
object of the series was to create compositions where each made use of different styles of art or refrenced a particular artist. you could alter specific pieces or incorporate a style into something completely original. The idea was to create a cohesive idea/concept related to art history. I chose to explore the relationship between traditional and digital methods of production and "art making." The idea was to "digitize" famous pieces and styles to create a dialogue involving the legitimacy of new media and digital art in relation to what we are already familiar with and accept as art. it is also an exploration of different techniques, methods of digital art and the applications used in their production.
This piece is a Picture of the Process of Painting a painting of a digital painting...
June1999, the last of four life-size tests conducted between 1997 and 1999, on a private ranch, outside Grand Junction, CO, for Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado.
18 differently woven and sewn panels, of various colors and fabrics were tested. As well as a variety of hooks, cables and installation techniques. The stress caused by the wind was monitored over the three months that this test remained in place.

Best of day - WAVE 1 shows that my first choice of supporting wood was just...eh. Then I found that spiney piece and knew it was right.

New stuff for the folks on the river tomorrow following the NBC NEWS story that Monica Morales did on me 11 pm news Friday night.
Nathan Mabry's "Process Art (B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E)" (see my photo next door, stage left) is a riff on Rodin's "The Burghers of Calais", which I also photographed at the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Here, I reversed Mabry's process and merged my 2 photos to show his "recontextualized metaphor" in context.

With a story to inspire the little artists followed up by a hands-on Process Art Activity things got a little messy at this art program for ages 3-6.
This photo is from my first painting workshop. These amazing women were so open and loving ... I call them my "Creative Tribe Mothers." My tribe continues to grow ... welcome ~
It's all about the process. Families rolled, stamped and painted with different fall related objects. It was a fun time by all! Thank you Friends of the Bascom Library for supplying the fresh corn for painting.

Piece of the day, great pieces of angular and forked wood. Not so happy with the title, so open to suggestions.

Liked Mike's evening shots on his so I tried some, sadly my battery ran out so I only got a few not very good ones. This was the 'sunset' setting - slow shutter speed, hard to hold steady.
I did get a very Franz Kline look to this. See:

You can follow the evolution of the 'process' of the work at this location by viewing this SET :
Process-art painting is a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing.
The act of painting might bring up emotions--old emotions repressed since childhood, or fresh ones triggered by our daily lives, or deeper feelings erupted from our sense of interconnectedness with the world and all its suffering. To feel grief, fear and anger is natural. It can be appropriate. PAINTING FOR LIFE is a safe place to express those dark feelings. Just as it is an appropriate place to express your joy and blessings, if that's the way you feel.
The only rule is a true sense of integrity to what you feel in the moment. Not this morning, not yesterday, not what you dreamed even. Your dream may influence the way you feel right now, and in that respect they may influence your painting, but this particular approach to painting is not about painting your dream itself.
Usually the dark and the light keep each other in balance like communicating vases. As deep one is willing to go is the measure to as high one will eventually return. PAINTING FOR LIFE is a spiritual practice, a full-bodied, full-souled process.
