I am running for office. It is not an elected position, it is the position
of being your portrait painter. You do much the same as running for office,
going to every public event possible always looking for people you know
and people your recognize.

Yes, I have
dragged myself out of town to the Dilly Deli. Meeting a young enthusiastic
artist to see her portfolio. She had quite a portfolio. It was as if she
and me had been dragged together through life. She so young and boisterous,
I so reserved and methodical we met. Our enjoyment the same we became
fast friends. Friends so together, in the same boat, our destination the
same. So amazed and convinced I was drawn into the hell of heaven I jumped
ship. I would rather swim ashore, alone to my family than spend eternity
with such a wench of a God.

The next world war will be one of enviroment. The countries who
are abusing the planet will be attacked by the consevationists. Al Gore

I have rekindled the manner of the first robot drawings. Strong color
combined with strong lighting makes a pleasant graphic work.
070917 The
robot is finishing a piece every week. It takes a day or two to set it
up and then the rest of the week to complete it. I am trying to use the
basic colors of a distill image to achieve the best results from the limited
8 colors of the robot, red, yellow, black, white, violet, turquoise, blue
and green. I started working on Drew’s portrait. I painted five
en plein air works so far in September. My transparent impressionist technique
is different and charming.

The robot is finally working on it debut masterpiece. All the kinks have
been worked out and now it runs though the ten hours it takes to produce
a 16” x 20” painting in sections of time in the studio. Getting
preliminary approval for a City of Cincinnati Individual Art Grant has
strengthened my drive to surmount all obstacles.
070424 Finally
I am back painting Drew's portrait. I have been going out and working
on the background while bringing along Drew's seersucker suit on the mannequin
I have. Eventually I will complete the background and go on to the suit.
The weather has been perfect. I have been studying the canal that used
to go along the west and north side of Clifton. I'll be painting views
of the city with the canal back in soon. The robot has made leaps and
bounds and soon will be completing a 16” x 20” painting with
1500 dots of color taking 10 hours. The machine is a lot like a man working
at a lathe. I was talking to a downtown resident the other day and he
was going on about how the bums come right up to you and that your car
is not safe and I got to thinking that this sounds just like New York
City where I lived for twenty years. Even if you lived on the upper west
side you always have to lock your car, say no to the beggars and keep
within arms distance from your children. I do not think you should expect
anything different in downtown Cincinnati.It’s hard to believe that
somebody is really different than another. If one person is a star there
may be another person you know who is like them but not a star. I always
enjoy my friends who act like stars but do not have the credentials. One
persons work is just as great as another’s if you enjoy it no matter
who they are or how famous they are. If you see art and like it then great.
The art caught by the famous curators and gallery dealers is no better
than the art you catch. The artist and curators job is to invite you.
070312 There will come a time when Al Gore will be considered
a Prophet. Think back to the time of Christ, the world was going through
big changes. In many ways it was scientific revolution. Well in the future,
when the planet has undergone major changes because of man a new rule
will be declared. Not just treat your fellow man as you would yourself
but leave the planet better than you found it. At that time the calendar
will be rolled back to one and a new era will declared.
Where
is the sacrifice? When 1 AD turned around they stopped sacrifice in the
temple. THe prophecy had been fulfilled. THe temple was destroyed and
now the Jews meet in the meeting palace, a synagogue.
Art
Museums are the death. The few artist they represent are only the surface
of the great art experiences that are out there. Great is everywhere.
Even the most incapable of persons can create a true masterpiece. Even
your friends can embulate the greatest people. Why desire know a star
when one is right next to you?
Someday
people will fly around in light weight dragonfly like rubber muscle like
backpacks. Everyone will lose weight because you can't fly when you're
heavy.
I wanted
a trailable sailboat to take to Lake Erie and East Hampton but then a
houseboat studio on the Ohio River but it ended up being a pavillion type
tent to paint in.
Lyrics
from a song Marlene Dietrich sang in "The Blue Angel": If it
isn't pain, Then it isn't Love, If it doesn't drive you insane, It can't
be love, If it's not a flame, Burning night & day, Then it's nothing
more than a game, I'm not that way, My heart never was taken, My heart
never was taken.
