Came across this digital image of a piece I sold back in 1998... Good to reminisce sometimes on what you were doing, why you were doing it and getting some space from it... maybe why you sometimes keep coming back to it...
Leonardo Da Vinci, born 1452, April 15th... Love his
rendition of St. John the Baptist. That is one good-looking inspiration. There has been much commentary over the years regarding the facial similarity between John and Mona (Lisa)... (Man, Mona by itself just isn't that sexy...)
And also if Mona Lisa was a self-portrait... You decide people. What do you think? Either way, the man, the artist, the philosopher was BRILLIANT in every way.
Does anyone remember the movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still"? Does this image not remind you of the robot, "Gort"?
White background or black? What do you think? Comments welcome.
I have been in the studio for 3 months straight and just coming up for air... Have produced some great paintings and some not-so-great paintings... Will be posting some of the best ones next month. Meanwhile, in an attempt to get things moving this year, I'm offering many paintings at a huge discount - Up to 50% - just to move them out of their place of honor in my storage system. Also, I will be setting up an online "MyEtsy" store for people to purchase giclee prints of some of my favorite pieces. Peace. Life is good.
Finally starting a blog. Starting a New Year. Starting a new outlook on life. I asked my friend, Susan, who is a photographer, which were her favorite paintings from the archives.. She came up with these...
