Graduation

Last week, I attended my college advisor’s retirement celebration, and, in a funny way, I feel like I graduated again.

Paintings within paintings

When we took down Subjective last weekend, Becca had the brilliant idea of trading paintings for a while.  As soon as she suggested it, I knew I wanted to take this one home: I love the painting within the painting.

Subjectively Bend

Subjective is up in central Oregon for another week.

I work from photographs I take myself in order to make my paintings, but, depending on the kind of portrait I intend to make, the photo shoot varies.

 

Subjectively Corvallis

The show opened in at the Arts Center in Corvallis yesterday!

The gentle art of making portraits

James McNeill Whistler wasn’t the only artist to struggle with portraiture as a genre, but his Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter’s Mother proves that he’s one of the artists who won the struggle.

Long before Becca and I created Subjective, artists like Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin were making paintings from the same subject.

The Dregs at the Art Gym

Brandy Cochrane and Paul Middendorf’s Dregs, on view at the Marylhurst Art Gym right now, raises important questions about consent and responsibility in portraiture. 

Subjective is open in Portland…

...but Wednesday is the big day.  Join us for our artist talk and stay for the food and partying!

The context makes the art.

Oregon Public Broadcasting has just published their 2010 calendar and I’m July…

An air of family

I get the impression that the artist Bobby Neel Adams would understand Subjective’s focus on family.
