ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Here is the third (and final, I swear... I think) version of "Cactus Flower". This is what happens when you leave a painting, that you are not really sure of, in sight every day. I've found it's usually better to put it away for a while if you're not totally happy with it, and see it with fresh eyes later. That doesn't work if you are OCD, and can't get that image out of your head until it's fixed, or put to bed. Below is the description that I used when I posted the second version. Thought I'd leave it in as there are a few things written that are still relevant to the new version. [This is the re-painted version of a crazy idea from a few months ago. The values didn't work for me on the first try, and it needed a hair ribbon to add depth to the basic oval shape of the top of the head. I also changed the shirt color and made it more basic. Irene modeled for me by laying on the dining table, but still had some making up of weight, pivot points, and shirt folds. (she probably would've tried an actual handstand on a better day)]

My work is all about what the viewer makes of it. An idea for what I call “a scene” will come to me at the oddest times, and will sometimes be of the strangest subjects, but may be interpreted differently by each viewer. My past work would have been a simple, more traditional subject, but for the past few years it has been whatever pops into my head. With the help of Photoshop and various 3d programs (absolutely no AI) to arrange the elements of a painting into the “scene”, the difficult process of finding models or manipulating light has become far easier than it was 20 years ago. Although, I still use family and friends to model for me, it is far less often needed. Some have called it contemporary realism, but what I'm hearing more often is “pop-realism”. If asked, I'd probably say... “it is what it is”
