The Night Crossing

Thu Jun 18, 2009, 1:44 PM
  • Mood: Joy
A long time in the works, Night Crossing has come to a timely finish. Several pivotal moments have occurred in the last year, some bad, some good. In all, though, walking the streets here at night and noticing the way artificial light plays a definitive role in how we see the world around us has always caught my attention. This work defines, for me, a crossing. Be it from the dark to light or vice-versa, is determined by the viewer. What lies beyond is always a question.

Always an artist first, searching for that point where beauty and art once again can meet.

At the moment exploring the life of the artist-student at the Corcoran College of Art+Design in Washington, D.C. The perspective from this end of life is somewhat entertaining, sometimes amusing, and peppered with sadness and heartbreak. All these I find myself in my art.

Pierre Bonnard once said "I have all my subjects at hand. I go see them. I take notes. And then I go home. And before painting, I think, I dream."

Today, I think, I will dream.

Richard your vision, perceptions, and imagination never cease to inspire me. To understand the difference and the coalescence of these three "brain activities" I recommend "Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently," by Gregory Berns.

Love your photo with Kierra. I'm left wanting to me this young lady. I am left to wonder also who is the individual behind the desolate in 'untitled 200'? You draw me into the human side of all your work; yea, that emotional side of you. Thanks.

Why I like "Between Friends" ... this may be a bit of stream of consciousness ... This painting, like many of yours, is multidimensional, layered ... with cognition, emotion, a distinct philosophical viewpoint, narrative qualities. Narrative qualities bec

As a travel journalist, I have always considered travel one of the highest forms of art. As we say "from where I come from, "We travel to explore the diversity of the human experience, and in so doing we discover the commonality."

I really like your unique abstract and conceptual 3-D artworks. It's unlike any other artist I've seen on DeviantArt.
Thanks! I try to keep myself challenged, sometimes the results work, sometimes they don't! I appreciate the comments! Cheers!
