THIS SITE

This website is mostly written from my multiple points of view about online Business and News trends and contains a lot of my regurgitated thoughts about the world. You will find a lot of variety here from all of my multiple personalities. If you like any of it, just click on some adds so I can get a few cents from the advertisers, or visit my daily painting blog spot and buy a painting but only if you like it.

I have tried my best to disable comments because most of what I get are just people trying to spam me or get a link to their website. If you want to contact me use the contact page.

WHO AM I?

I am an artist, blogger, tarot card reader, conspiracy theorist, website builder and many other things. Below is my artist’s statement for lack of anything else to say. For those of you who have a negative opinion about Tarot cards, and Tarot card readers, please relax. They are just pictures. They can’t hurt you.

Artist’s statement:

I think art is a miracle. To take colored pigments and apply it to a surface creating an image that communicates and gives value or pleasure to others is an astonishing accomplishment.

When a simple lead pencil can transform a sheet of paper into a treasured and valuable work of art, that is a miracle. This is the reason I became an artist. It is my desire to always improve upon my work and to astonish the viewer with visions that let them see what I see and feel what I feel. If I can do this, then I have succeeded as an artist.

I want my work to look fresh and confident. A good way I have learned to do this is to paint fast and paint often, or to limit the time I spend on a painting. I like the look, smell and feel of oil paints. They dry slowly and I can take my time with a painting or work fast, doing a painting in one sitting.

My favorite subject matter is still life because I can explore textures, lighting effects and interesting objects that tell a story or present a mystery for the viewer. I also like to paint human character portraits because there is such a large and variety of human subject matter and they are the most challenging and interesting subject of all.

My current work involves impressions and glimpses of things in my world that move me in some personal way even if it is a very simple object or scene. If it is a vase, it is because I love the shape of the vase, and the way its shadow is cast across the table or on the wall.

I want to simplify impressions I see and put them down on canvas as quickly as possible without going into a lot of detail. My art tells the story of my visual exploration into this amazing three dimensional reality I see every day that to me, seems like a miracle. My art is my show and tell. It not only says, “Look what I see!” it says, “Look how I see it.”
