Subjective: this category includes articles and videos about Subjective, a conceptual series created in collaboration with Becca Bernstein.

Subjective is open in Portland…

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

I ♥ Becca Bernstein!

When I met Becca years ago, I never imagined we would team up.  Now that we are in the midst of touring our collaborative series, I am so glad we did!

The context makes the art.

Behind her famous smile, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa hides the key to understanding context.

Portrait of the portraitist

I’ve only had my portrait done on a handful of occasions—the first time being when my friend drew me to celebrate my sixteenth birthday (drawing shown here).  But I’ve never had a portrait painted of me until now…

I’ve never taken a class from Paul Missal, but, more than anyone else since I graduated from Willamette University in 2003, the longtime PNCA professor—along with his self-portrait, here pictured—has taught me about seeing and perception and how they relate to art and portraiture.

Mother

Despite appearances, this post is not about cruelty to animals.  It’s about a Madonna and child. 

Done!

How do you know when you’ve completed a painting?
