Ah critiques ....

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 10, 2009, 6:20 AM
Don't you just love them? I learned long ago that critiques are just inflated opinions, and everyone has one. Good or bad. So I embrace them all and actually look forward to them as part of my art .. I love to hear what people say, because, in the end, I'm still getting a reaction; and after all, that is what I'm after, isn't it? I'll never say. The last critiques though went well, better than I anticipated given the latest works were done under duress. However, much to my surprise, everyone (well, almost everyone) loved the assemblage "Christ Visited New York". I have to chuckle to myself because, literally, it means nothing - or it didn't when I was creating it. It was a random idea I had flying through my head. But now .. well, all kinds of 'meaning' have been attached to it. And that's OK, because art should be objective and subjective at the same time. Yes, I suppose given the state I've been in lately has something to do with what is portrayed, the expressionistic side of me will come out, but I choose not to control that. Matisse once said "I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it". I have to agree.

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.

It is the simple that is usually the most profound.
