The lovers

This is a copy of a paint by Otto Mueller from around 1900 its called the Lovers and was copied by a lot of the artist at the turn of the last century Picasso did a version of it. But I think the heads and arms were not attached in his ha ha. I did this in a style where you paint a bold pattern first then you paint the image on top lightly so the under paint comes through. It gives it a little different look. So Oil on linen 28x36 $200.00 dollars plus shipping.

Jackson Pollack

This is a copy of a Jackson Pollack painting. Its a American Indian Medicine Man performing some kind of dance to influence the Future of the Tribe or a individual through the spirit world. Or that is what I think anyway.... Pollack is one of this country's greatest artist and most expensive. This painting is probably valued in the millions of dollars. Because he did it when he was still in California and before he moved to New York and started his drip painting style.A style for which he is probably most remembered . However he was a very talented abstract artist before that and this is one of his best examples in my opinion.

Yes or no

This is a painting I did a few months ago about the choices we all have to make in our lives. Not necessarily good or evil. Just this or that should I stay or should I go. Everyone has those voices in their heads. And doing bad or good has little to do with it. Its the fact we are humans and have the option is the point.

I was Thinking

Yes it happens to me sometimes. Its not when it quite and I am all alone and my mind is at rest. It seems to be the opposite. When things a moving going running. Everything is at a fast pace That is when the thoughts of possibility's invade my consciousness and take over my brain. Maybe its just a result of having to work my whole life and the challenges  that everyday tasks bring. Problem solving is a large part of everyday movement. And when your brain is all rev ed up and working. That is when you get the aha moments.  Yes those little glimpses of brain power that sometimes even surprise yourself. If we could just tap in to that at will What a better place this would be. That's what I was Thinking..          

Things to Use

Some people think art is only paintings and sculpture But the truth is everything we do is art from Grandma making beautiful quilts to a set of cabinet for a house. It is all the same someone working with there mind and body to create something of use. Yes the key is use. Things that make life easier or more interesting. Well then you ask how do you use a picture of dogs playing poker. Does it make you laugh or does it  just make you think now that is the stupid thing I have ever seen. What ever your reaction is. It is right to you. And that is its purpose. So don't judge art or people for what they produce. Its not a contest its just what humans do. Somethings you will need to use for your life and somethings you won't. So do some art today..........      

Art

There are basically three kinds of artists. The people who draw with pencil and pen. The painter. and the person with something to say. The first is usually anal people who are in search of perfection every line every shadow must be correct or its not art to them. Because they think art is a skill that you learn. Those people should just take a picture. Then there is the painter the slave to the light. In constant pursuit of the light shadows shades composition these are the disciplines of the painters. Then come the real artist they see love hate hope joy and all the in justice and promise in the world and through there minds they create works that compel you to think and hopefully act to make this exististance a little better for the next generation. That is the true purpose of the artist and all ways has been. From cave drawings about animals to hunt and eat. To the face of Mona Lisa. Everyone has needs and desires and art is a way to bring your thoughts into the real world. And show everyone else how you feel. It is human to create art so be human.
