Practice: cette catégorie de mon blog contient les articles qui parlent de comment je crée mes œuvres d’art.

Imitate this. / Imitez ceci.

Art = idea + technique + person.  And the “person” part of this equation makes real art inimitable.  L’art = une idée + une technique + une personne.  Et la partie de cette équation qui est la personne rend l’art inimitable.

Pansy / Pensée

I’ve always loved how the English word for the flower comes from the French one, “pensée,” which, in a pretty piece of poetry, is also the French word for “thought.”  Je trouve ça beau que la fleur soit nommée pour ce qui nous passe par la tête.

Copyright law radical

And I mean to make a revolution.

Lost in translation / Perdu dans la traduction

Just how well does art translate cross-culturally?  Dans quelle mesure l’art se traduit-il d’une culture à l’autre?

The challenge / Le défi

There’s nothing quite like a painting that’s as big as my studio to teach me a thing or two about how I paint.  Ce tableau est aussi grand que mon atelier, et il va me réapprendre comment peindre.

Being in on the surprise

While I love the idea of helping clients create a surprise gift for a loved one, my way of working doesn’t always allow me to do so.

Finishing a painting / Finir un tableau

This is my first bilingual vlog.  Ceci est mon premier vidéoblog en anglais et en français.

Painting a frontal portrait

This is my very first video blog and it’s about painting a frontal portrait.

Creativity and limitations

Ever since I started out, I have made work in conceptual series.  The resulting bodies of work always had more appeal than a disparate group of unrelated paintings, and it was more fun to improvise on a theme than to create without direction.  The focus of each series stimulated my creativity by limiting the scope of my exploration.

On staring

Sean Scott’s photograph of me working captures an essential part of my process: staring.

Art abhors a vacuum.

It’s impossible to create something from nothing.

Matched paintings

A diptych is a pair of matched compositions, but also a pair of paintings that help to paint each other.
