    --- People might find this cheap and common. Oh really… Vincent Van Gogh.
    But everything, even when it’s just printed on postcards, or a poster or anything.

    Everything. He is just beyond words for me.
    When I heard of him… of his life, it affected me so… much.
    I felt so really heavy deep inside. Like it had my heart in a grip.
    I felt so incredibly sad, like I was about to cry immediately.
    I couldn’t… I don’t know. I never had something like that.
    It just went right through to me. I cannot put it into words.
    Like when I read his words, quotes and look at his paintings.

    Some Artists work I enjoy, aside from my own, include:

    Wassily Kandinsky
    Tasha Tudor
    Walt Disney
    Lisa Steinke's fairy illustrations
    Space art e.g. Kim Poor

    Heck, Nature contains the best art when I consider the Hubble Space Telescope, or collect rocks such as jaspers.

    Through which Sun of Being’s Light is passed,
    Each tinted fragment sparkles with the Sun,
    A thousand colors, but the Light is One.

    There are many that I like as a mainstay and others that I like going through phases. Right now i'm really taken by a contemporary artist named Kerry James Marshall. I'm not the biggest fan of wikipedia, but here is his page on there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_James_Marshall

    He gives rise to very powerful and truly beautiful art imo (my current avatar is a photograph of one of his paintings)

    The Rise



    When I had the idea of painting this subject, I had named it "The Fall", a reference to some books I was thinking about at that time (Nietzsche: "The Joyful Wisdom", "Thus spoke Zarathustra" and Alain Damasio: "The WindWalkers").



    I contacted a model to work from solid visual references. She perfectly embodied this "Fall", I knew she would feed the feeling I wanted to create.



    We met for “The Fall” and we fell... in love.


    I decided to change the title of this painting, I wished it to be a “Rise” for her.

    I dedicate it to Psyche, my model, my muse and my love.



    «Three metamorphoses of the spirit do I designate to you : how the spirit becometh a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child.1»

    Slightly off, but in case anybody wishes to take a virtual trip in Frida Kahlo's family home (Casa Azul) in these days of quarantine:

    Default N.C . Wyeth: Adventure on the Western Front

    At age 21 (!), afer his first magazine publication, Wyeth was commissioned to illustrate a Western story, so his tutor urged Wyeth to go West to acquire direct knowledge, much as Zane Grey had done for his Western novels.

    In Colorado, he worked as a cowboy alongside the professional "punchers", moving cattle and doing ranch chores. He visited the Navajo in Arizona and gained an understanding of Native American culture.
    When his money was stolen, he worked as a mail carrier, riding between the Two Grey Hills trading post and Fort Defiance, to earn enough to get back home. He wrote home,

    "The life is wonderful, strange—the fascination of it clutches me like some unseen animal—it seems to whisper, 'Come back, you belong here, this is your real home.'"

    Default N.C.Wyeth - the artist

    Bio (excerpted from here) :

    Born Newell Convers Wyeth
    October 22, 1882
    Needham, Massachusetts, United States

    Died October 19, 1945 (aged 62)
    Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, United States

    He was the oldest of four brothers who spent much time hunting, fishing, and enjoying other outdoor pursuits, and doing chores on their farm. His varied youthful activities and his naturally astute sense of observation later aided the authenticity of his illustrations and obviated the need for models: "When I paint a figure on horseback, a man plowing, or a woman buffeted by the wind, I have an acute sense of the muscle strain."
    Hismothe4r encouraged his art.

    He studied at Brandywine Valley under Howard Pile and after on a few months won a commission for a Saturday evening Post cover - at age 20! Here he is at 23:



    At 23 he married Carolyn Bockius (18), 2nd oldest of nine from Pa.



    Wyeth created a stimulating household for his five talented children. He was very sociable, and thye had frequent visitors. According to Andrew his youngest (alsop an artist), who spent the most time with his father due to his sickly childhood, Wyeth was a strict but patient father who did not talk down to his children. His hard work as an illustrator gave his family the financial freedom to follow their own artistic and scientific pursuits.





    The family grew up in Chad's ford, Pa., here is their home:


    Here is a landscape he made of Chad's Ford landscape, and one of his studio at Chad's Ford:




    N.C. Wyeth self portrait:


    N.C. Wyeth painted 3,000 paintings and illustrated 125 books!

    That took a lot of determination. You can see that in his chin:



    More self portraits:







    Vacation time spent in Maine, painting, "precious time":


    N.C. Wyeth - what a life. How prolific. So much continuous accomplishment, from a young age! And what a family man. His children all spoke well of him and led good lives. But his life ended tragically, at only age 62, along with his grandson. In October 1945, Wyeth and his grandson (Nathaniel C. Wyeth's son) were killed when the automobile they were riding in was struck by a freight train at a railway crossing () near his Chadds Ford home. His wife lived to age 86.
    "A man with a definite belief always appears bizarre, because he does not change with the world; he has climbed into a fixed star, and the earth whizzes below him like a zoetrope."

    The only one that, IMO, really stacks up to his Narcissus is this:



    The impression is much stronger in person, but with the real thing you get the impression that this guy is just ready to leap off the canvas. Like nothing I've ever seen. Most of his work is unremarkable, IMO, but he has a few gems.
    I seem attracted to the guy in the painting.
