Stag Hunt detail 2
photo to canvas
Image by Universal Pops
Philips Wouwerman (1619-1668) Dutch artist was from Haarlem where he lived and worked most of his life. Though over 1000 paintings have been attributed to him, the true number is likely much less, many works of his brothers Jan and Pieter as well as imitators and followers being credited to Philips. His popularity continued into the 18th century. Large collections of his artwork are at the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, Germany and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

His works include many landscapes, hunting scenes, battle, military camps, travelers, peasant activities, etc. The landscapes are decidedly un-Dutch with hills and other features not normally associated with the flat vistas of the Netherlands. He became well-know for his depiction of horses in action. The canvases seemed filled with interesting details and delicate, understated colors. Possibly his best works are from around 1650 to 1660, and this “Stag Hunt in a River” is probably in that time period (the museum placard states about 1650-2655). It is located at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Jules-Joseph Lefebvre
French, 1836–1912
Graziella
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated (lower right): Jules LeFebvre. 1878.

From the museum’s description:

During the second half of his life, Lefebvre's meticulously executed portraits and paintings of nudes were regularly shown in the Paris Salons. He won many awards, including the prestigious Prix de Rome, three Salon medals, and the French Legion of Honor.

The American collector Catharine Lorillard Wolfe—who bequeathed to the Museum 143 pictures, including all of those hanging on this wall—commissioned "Graziella" in 1878. It depicts the Neopolitan fisherman's daughter who is the heroine of Alphonse de Lamartine's novel of the same name. A smoking Mount Vesuvius is visible in the background.

Chalk and See Chalk: Temecula Street Painting Festival Concludes

The Californian

June 27, 2010

Temecula — The streets of Old Town Temecula will be aglow with colors June 27 with the finale of the 10th annual Old Town Temecula Street Painting Festival.

More than 100 muralists and visual artists have been working through the weekend to transform squares of the dark asphalt into chalk art masterpieces. Artists began working June 26 and will
return to the streets at 7 a.m. June 27. The main festival schedule is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with winners announced this afternoon.

The public is invited to watch, or those inclined can create their own chalk art in the family section, where more than 500 smaller squares have been blocked out for spectators to work with chalk pastels on the asphalt canvas. Children and families can participate without registration.

The 2010 featured artist is muralist Jesus Gutierrez who won the 2009 event for his entry “Aztec Princess.” A special work will be created by art students from Mt. San Jacinto College's San Jacinto campus. The group will be creating a giant 3-D painting on Main Street similar to murals made famous by Julian Beaver.

The Ralph Love Plein Air Festival, an event within the event, started three years ago and offers a 0 purchase award from Temecula. Plein air artists will scatter throughout Old Town in search of the perfect scene depicting the historical town and put it on canvas. The Plein Air Art Auction will be from 3 to 5 p.m. this afternoon.

Also, Valley Winds will perform.

Events take place in Old Town Temecula at Main and Front streets and are free. Visit temeculacalifornia.com/ or call 951-678-1456.

This is one of the 15 pieces of canvas from Uganda that I will be exhibiting (And selling) this Friday in Kalamazoo. I wrote a blogpost about the experience and where the proceeds will be going.

For this picture though, I wanted to take some shots of several of the canvases so I just walked around my house/yard with them. This one worked well on the blue canvas we're using to cover our wood pile :). Here's a link to the original image I uploaded of this bike.

Travelling Home
photo to canvas
Image by gingerpig2000
As one can see from my photos here, I love images of cars. I also love to experiment with their color and form in typical situations that we all find ourselves in, looking at it with a kind of inner eye beyond the frustration that many people have when the have to commute day after day.

If you look through the motor press then most of what you puts you, the viewer in some kind of idealized situation, but most of what we see of cars is on the road. OK, random shots of cars on the rad are probably not going to do much for anyone, but with some thought and care I believe there is much we can do to capture those feelings we experience as we travel.

Light and composition are of prime importance to me, something that is not always easy to achieve in dynamic situations, such as when we are in traffic. However, with some care and patience, the desired types of shots allow themselves to be captured.

Duomo on Canvas
photo to canvas
Image by timsackton
For Round 22 of the Flickr Group "Get Pushed", I was challenged by the very creative Girl in Sneakers to apply textures to a photo from my recent vacation to Italy. In her words: "take a photo of an Italian or French countryside ... that tells the story of that country and use textures (like Kim Klassen's Work) to process the image."

This was an incredibly tough challenge for me, as this style of work is well outside my usual creative wheelhouse. I have a very hard time visualizing how an image will look with textures applied, so there was a lot of trial and error involved, and a lot of browsing Flickr to see what other people have done in this vein. In the end, though, I produced three images that, while very different than what I normally do, I thought were at least interesting. None are particularly subtle, but I guess that is what happens when you first start playing with a new technique.

This is probably my favorite, of the Duomo in Florence, with three textures applied: Aged Canvas Texture 7 from Skeletal Mess, Antique Aging Effect TOTD #132, also from Skeletal Mess, and Paper Bark from pareerica, all used under a Creative Commons license. Two more (one Rome, one Paris) are in the comments.

The Canvas Of The Pavilion
photo to canvas
Image by Stuart Herbert
Every year, several temporary venues are erected for the festival, which are great for sheltering from the sun or the rain in order to enjoy great performances like Hugh Lupton's Praise Song The Homing Stone.

There was a good chuckle at the start of that performance, with one of the festival staff announcing to everyone inside the tent that everyone outside the tent (who couldn't get in because all the seats had already gone) needed to move away from the doors, otherwise he couldn't let the performance start for health and safety reasons. After a couple of repeated announcements he finally twigged on and headed outside to where the people who needed to move actually were ...

... I didn't spot if he came back into the pavilion afterwards, but if he did, he would have heard Chris Wood (who was performing the Homing Stone with Hugh Lupton) mercilessly taking the piss out of him and our nanny state culture throughout the show, much to the repeated approval of the audience.

Harlow Parson collaborative portrait of teenage comic book author, Ariel Schrag, 1996. (oil on canvas - 40" x 30")

Image by p0ps Harlow
In 1996, San Francisco, Ruth and I we saw the comic book, "Awkward", written and drawn by 16 year-old, Berkeley High School student, Ariel Schrag. We contacted her with an offer to paint her portrait. Visiting her home after school, we asked her to draw a cartoon of her "dream boy". As we watched, she completed it quickly and confidently. We pinned it to the wall, took a Polaroid of her standing beside the drawing. Ariel approved the photo, we took it to our studio and over the course of a month, we made a painting study from the photo, by each of us drawing on an enlarged photo-copies of the Polaroid, then combining the best parts of our drawings into a gridded collage. Marking a corresponding grid on stretched canvas, we each painted a randomly chosen 50% of grid squares. We proudly delivered the completed portrait to her, wishing her every happiness in her life.

This one is entitled Washington as a Farmer at Mount Vernon (1851), oil on canvas, measuring 14.5 x 22.625 in (36.83 x 57.47 cm). The scene shows Washington in conversation with his overseer, Mount Vernon in the background; slaves are working the field and in the lower left are two adopted grandchildren at play. One of Stearns; paintings was on a 1937 US postage stamp, depicting Washington in his role as statesman. 5 paintings are on line at www.the-athenaeum.org/art/list.php?m=a&s=du&aid=1037

Mixed Media Painting (Detail) by Choichun Leung / Dumbo Arts Center: Art Under the Bridge Festival 2009 / 20090926.10D.54932.P1.L1.C23 / SML
photo to canvas

SML Pro Blog: Choichun Leung / 13th Annual DUMBO Art Under the Bridge Festival NYC 2009: Part 10 of 10 / Art + Artists

Choichun Leung
2008
Part of the SCRIPTO series
www.choichun.com/scripto.html

See also Choichun Leung talks about her mixed media paintings (Flickr 720p HD video).

Choichun Leung left Wales when she was seventeen to pursue a degree in metal-smithing at Loughborough college of Art and Design in the UK, afterwhich she studied Buddhist iconography in both Beijing and the Yangkung caves in China's Shanxi province. In 1988 she moved to London where she studied under the Ray Man Chinese Orchestra as a percussionist and a student of the Gu-qin - a traditional Chinese bass zither. Leung worked in Hong Kong as a background artist for animation film before returning to London in 1992 where she received a grant and Gold Award from the Prince of Wales' Youth Business Trust for the most innovative new business of the year: a line of symbolic art products using the traditional technique of Chinese paper cutting.

With music and the arts always hand in hand, Leung came to New York in 1994 where she began painting seriously, worked as an assistant to artist Peter Max, and studied music composition. From that point forward, Choichun's artwork has been inextricably entwined with her interest in music and have continued to influence each other.

As the single mother of a young daughter, Choichun moved to Germany in 2002 to write music, perform and collaborate on an audio/visual project based in Koln. Upon the invitation of a gallery in 2006 she returned to New York. Most recently Choichun has been featured in two solo exhibitions at JLA Baxter House in Manhattan and will take part in a group showing in Hamburg in November 2008. Choichun currently lives in Brooklyn, NYC .

Artist Statement Our lives are as long as we remember. Our memories are imbedded in us like DNA. But what of lives that through trauma or age have lost memory? What of the interplay of conscious thought and the sub-conscious? Which one really drives the show? My paintings are like rorschach tests in reverse, a psychological diary of that moment in time, an investigation of the relationship between past and present, reality and illusion and in effect a blue print to the past self. Through the symbolisms revealed, and the stories or objects we project into the abstract, we expose another layer of ourselves and in turn provide clues to what may not be fully aware. My paintings are simple traces of that activity, void of any meaning, but imbedded with the years of experience that shapes us, yet also holds us hostage.

Choichun never paints from sketches but instead allows the process and medium dictate. Each application is an expressive gesture evoking the emotion and inner psychology of that moment, a conflicted excavation of what may be hidden or imagined. The script like lines emerge as a non-cognitive language or what she has come to identify as 'glyphs' - a pictographic personal alphabet; where 'glyphs' document the days, weeks and months spent on a piece. The one actual reference that Choichun can identify in her work after the fact springs from her background in music and her fascination with its chaotic notes and interpretive patterns. These can be seen in the work's fine, rhythmic and frenetic lines as well as in the heavier, poured-on, black & white 'mono-glyphs' which overtake the paintings like visual representations of a sound. Choichun paints on both wood panels and canvas, using liquid acrylic, aerosol, oil bars and thread . With sticks, brushes, trowels and vessels: applying the paint and then scratching through the layers to reveal what is underneath, scripting with ‘glyphs’ throughout, painting over, sanding down and repeating this process until an image is revealed or another is hidden.

Weeks--The Hour of Prayer, detail 2
photo to canvas
Image by Universal Pops
I am always appreciative of views and comments; thank you for taking time to look.

This is a series of 11 images (oil on canvas). Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903), an Orientalist painter, was born in Massachusetts, the child of wealthy merchants. The placard at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond states he was a photographer, writer, explorer, collector and illustrator as well. He studied in France under Léon Bonnat. He made trips to Morocco, the Middle East and then India in 1882. Any number of videos featuring his works on India are on YouTube. The paintings depicted are always human with an eye to details. The painting “The Hour of Prayer at Moti Mushid (The Pearl Mosque), Agra” (ca 1888-1889) is large (perhaps 6’ x 3 1/2”) and is filled with amazing details of those gathered for prayer at the mosque. The detailed images show many aspects of this gathering: washing, reading, lounging. Any number of “things” are happening, yet no part detracts from another; all is well-integrated into a comprehensive whole. The architecture is integral to the work. The Moti Mushid, built 1654 in Agra, is an excellent example of Mughal architecture. His original works today can bring a price of more than a million dollars.

The original frame by Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), another Orientalist, is made of wood with cast and carved ornament and is gilded. The framed painting is the final image in the series.
