On the easel...

[GKreindler]

Hey all,

I just picked up these two guys from the photographers and thought I'd share 'em.


Tris Speaker, 1916, 16" x 20"


Shin Hashido, 1903, 12" x 18"

They were both a lot of fun on different levels. The Tris was an image I've always loved, as I feel like Conlon just captured that glare so perfectly. And the Hashido was just sooooo friggin' cool to learn about. It's amazing to think of how much we STILL don't know about our neighbors in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hashido just looks like such a bad@$$.

Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy 'em.

Thanks for reading!

Graig,

Um....umm......well...yeah, I have nothing...no words.

I just wonder how you view the various things you see during everyday life in the city. Sunlight off of a windshield...faces of passersby...texture of brick...details? I think that you view everyday things a bit differently than we do.

Once again Greg. Just beautiful.

Thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate the kind words.

Curt, pretty much everything I see ends up translating into something relating to how I think about the language of painting. It really sounds flaky, I know, but it's the truth. I'm just always looking at nature and trying to see how I can disseminate those observations into my own work, as well as how I think about making art. I guess in that sense, I see things in a different way than some other people. Actually, it's hard for my brain to even get out of that mode. Having obsessions and working as an artist can be quite an interesting combination.

Thanks again for reading, everyone.

Graig,
Wow.
The Hashido dude looks like he's about to kick someone's a$$.
Once again...Incredible stuff.

Any update on the 27 Yanks?
