As the Old Year draws to a close I am rife with wonder about what on earth I think I am doing. I really like what my friend, Ellis Heyer says in her statement:
"Everything is ultimately a landscape. Heaven is here on earth, my task is to open my eyes, see it and paint it." To read the rest of her statement and see her paintings, click here.
The truth is, I don't know what I am doing. But not doing, is not an option. I am thinking about going back to cows for awhile. Or memories of Maine. But I also want to continue the Museum Goers series at the new California Academy of Sciences. And I really like the man walking in the painting above. Maybe I will concentrate on figures in motion. Ever since I was told to stick to one subject I have flitted around from thing to thing as if my creative life depended on it.

Superman, by Art Ramos. At the De Young Museum. Ramos says, “One of the central issues of my work has been the notion that art grows from art." So art imitates art imitates art. Perfect.

This is painted over "Left Overs". Never fails to loosen me up to be painting over old left overs. Must remember to do it more often. I was going to give this to Willow but I am enjoying looking at it so much, my generosity will just have to wait awhile.

The painting is Birmingham, by Jack Levine. You can see it at the de Young Museum. It's very compelling. Lots of action. Which makes watching people walk past very entertaining, like a dance.
