The "Muse" being caught in the act of entering an art gallery.<br />
Anicca is an art exhibit at Liberty Arts Gallery in Yreka, CA. This is the work I did for the show. I hope this will be the beginning of these type of shows everywhere. The idea behind the show was to create a community art happening that would last for three weeks. The name Anicca was chosen as a Buddhist word describing things that don't last forever. Everyone in the community was invited into the gallery. They could choose a space and create their own art. I talked with artists from 4 years of age to 89. I created this piece to represent the "Muse" crawling out of the wall. There was so much creativity going on that he, the muse, had to come see what was going on. No one is supposed to see the Muse. His surprised look is because we caught him in the act of investigating the work.<br />

The Sculpture I've created after Michaelangelo's God from the Sistine Chapel is now complete as far as the modeling stage. It will now have to go through the drying and thinning stages in preparation for firing.

This is a clay sculpture I'm working on. It's from Michaelangelo's painting of God reaching out to man. I like the power of this painting and thought I'd like to try and capture the qualities in 3d. At present I'm pleased with the side views of the sculpture. However the front view needs work. The beard had not been added yet. The purpose of this slideshow is to show the progress of the work. More to follow. As always I'm open to comments and suggestions.Don Easthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09307078199668970556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274473636290021743.post-7940044302837784682011-03-29T05:56:00.000-07:002011-03-29T05:56:38.558-07:00Tomorrows Horizon<embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fydeast%2Falbumid%2F5589482471198220785%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"></embed><br />

Two Photoshop composite photos. Both of the shots used in these pictures were taken in Mexico. Getting the lens flare glow in the one composite took many steps and considerable experimentation.

This is a photoshop practice after a painting of an ex-student Nathan Fowkes. His style is much quicker with bolder brush strokes. I used his colors and compositing to create this work. As always I'm open for comments and suggestion. <br />

This "Art Work" is the results of my new use of Photoshop CS5. I started exploring the new paint brush tool. They are in my opinion the thing that has been missing form Photoshop all these years. Thanks to Photoshop for the new tools. I have never been an Abstract Artist. And I'm not sure that this qualifies. After playing with the brush strokes I began playing with composition. It was fun. I actually like the final results.

This is a very personal Artistic statement. Two cars that are pictured in this work. A 1948 Cadillac I've been working on for over 30 years and a 1933 Chevy around 10 years. These are restoration projects I've enjoyed working on when I have had the time etc. They will probably never get finished because of time and money. At 70 my skills and abilities are not what they use to be. Also a retirement income limits the amount of work I can do at one time. So the hopes of finishing these projects and driving them get less each day. However I really enjoy working on them, so the joy is found in the work not the product. It is my feeling that this Photoshop work depicts the above statement.Don Easthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09307078199668970556noreply@blogger.com1
