Size don't matter,
if you're short,
just use a ladder.
Skill and practice
will make you an artist.
Go home and draw, draw, and draw
then show us the best art we ever saw.

Sculpture Cast

Reproduction of a cast in clay

In this exercise we copied an existing cast in clay.  This is an interesting study for us visual artists.

Cast Drawing 1

Cast Drawing in Charcoal.

40 x 40 cm

The goal of a cast drawing is to copy a white cast as accurately as possible. It means to understand the values of a white cast against a dark background.

Here you see three stages.
The very fist stage is not shown, it is the line drawing.

The first stage here, is the flat shadows. No great value range, just an indication of the light and dark shapes.

The second stage is the "Big Look" which should indicate the darkest and lightest values of the drawing.

The last stage is the fully rendered drawing. There you should see the full range of values, the soft and hard edges, and the modeling of the forms.

Brantevik Breeze

This is a day to seize
the Brantevik Breeze.
The fields like a patchwork quilt
and boats in the village built.
I never thought Sweden so green,
I thought it was icey and lean.
Österlen, to my surprise
is as pretty as where the Riviera lies.

Jump

#613
Watercolor
24 x 18 cm

What is more free
than to jump buck naked into the sea.
To leave the clothes behind
rid of all that binds.
To jump so high
you can touch the sky.
Not care where you land
you'll find the soft sand.

Just imagine to be free,
how good it can be.

Give her groceries and she makes a meal.

Arne's House by the Sea

 #610
Charcoal on paper 
36 x 48 cm

My neighbor Arne

is old and gnarly.

He's lived by the sea for 80 some years

He's seen high water and plenty of tears.

He knows of the wind from the east

that turns the sea into a wild beast.

He's wise and old

and he has foretold
to calm our fears
that all will be well for another 80 some years.

Artist's Statement

I worked like a dog as an industry cog.
I wrote one thousand five hundred weekly reports,
none of them read by my cohorts.
I was a team player, never a nay sayer.
I had good bosses and bad,
so many meetings it is sad.
I shifted paradigm, and carried the party line.
I did lunches and brunches.
I thought ouside the box,
and did not cross the line.
I had 5-meeting-days,
and a 50-email-an-hour pace
well - all that stress pays.

And one day I stopped, the bubble had popped.
I jumped off the cliff of this financial bliss.

I started to paint and without restraint
I make a world of my own where beauty and compassion is shown.
Colors are bright,
interiors are drenched in sun light,
figures and gestures portraits and textures.

I paint because I have only ONE life,
and when you posess a painting of mine,
you too, have escaped the doldrums of nine to five.

A New World

Peeling back the skin
reveals an new world within.

Shiny and clean
not a spot on its sheen
and what do we get
with the new world set?

Junk food is healthy
Unix is friendly
Claculus is easy
Loosing weight is a piece of cake.

Terrorists are happy on Zoloft
the government debt is payed off
Poverty has been eliminated
Dictators erradicated
All software bugs exterminated

It's ideal, comfy, and clean
all we do is watch TV and eat ice cream

But,
one thing that we forgot
this new world, is just not HOT
