“Within our deepest and truest selves / is the capacity to weather the / twin storms of / acclaim and rejection… for surely both acclaim and rejection / wash over us like constant breakers; / assail us like strong winds” K.C 2008 a reminder of the life (cost) that it is to be an artist. / There are two storms, both equal in intensity. / Acclaim and Rejection… / Storms that come our way. / (Probably more so for us creative types.) / How we deal with these storms is what will ultimately make (or break) us in the end. / We have to stop and realise that they are in fact both storms in equal measure. / They will come and go. / How do we live, balanced and whole within a stormy environment? / Acclaim and Rejection… / accept that both are a natural part of life, like all of lifes’ storms… / accept them, breathe and move on…

It has been said that the body is the cathedral of the soul. In this painting the fallen figure, be it me or you, or the Christ before resurrection, has been shown without flesh to accentuate the relationship between the rib cage of man and the ribs of the church behind. In this case the church is real. It is the Romanesque church of the Santa Maria Monestary in Alcobaca, Portugal. The architecture is Cistercian with the choir area dating from the early 1200’s AD. The city in the background (left) is Concord, New Hampshire, where I lived and worked for many years before moving to Windham, NH recently. “The Cathedral” has been featured in the group “Hand painted or drawn Buildings and architecture”. / Calendars for Friends Surreal Paintings Calendar / Surreal Watercolors Calendar Glacier National Park Calendar / Roses Calendar / Works Featured in Red Bubble Groups

Location: Central New Hampshire Art critic Clement Greenberg made the hypothesis years ago that Impressionism was the first step taken by modern art to get away from the illusion of space that had predominated painting for hundreds of years. Expressionism and the growth of the abstract painiting was seen as the logical conclusion of this process. Here “Surface Tension” balances that theory with an illusionistic space where all the subjects attempt to define the surface just in case you were thinking we were not aware of this critical assessment of the world and ‘progress’ of painting away from space. This work was featured in Painted Dogs, August 2009, and in Realist Traditional Art, July 2009. Dateline July 3rd 2009 – Artist Dave Martsolf today installed the 4’ x 6’ oil painting “Surface Tension” in a vacant retail ground level window on Washington Street in Boston as part of the city’s Boston Art Windows project. The project, sponsored by the Boston Revelopment Authority, Mayor Menino and the City of Boston, brings high quality art to empty retail space that is available between leases in order to maintain the cultural promise of the city to its citizens. “Surface Tension” will be offered multiple sites as space availability changes throughout the near future. The piece, originally conceived as a counterpoint argument to American art critic Clement Greenberg’s flat painting surface paradigm of American Expressionism, is perfectly at home in its window setting as the people in the painting with hands raised against an invisible surface appear to be pressing their palms against the window itself. “Surface Tension” was the 1985 winner of the Sawyer Memorial Award for Painting at the 38th Annual New Hampshire Art Association Exhibition at the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, NH.

From the collection of Mark Martsolf, but offered here for prints. What does it take to make a civilization? Some monuments perhaps. The lights are on here and the data is being collected in this rather ancient civilization that still worships punch cards. Ah, the green green fields of home! Let’s Pay Homage to . . . Computer Technology ? Well, can’t hurt to try!

This is a great painting for a child’s bedroom or play area. There is a small man floating in the yellow bowl, probably dreaming, with all of his childhood imaginary friends surrounding him. The original oil painting has been sold, but prints through RB are still available. “Friends” was featured in the Imaginative Realism group in August 2009. “Friends” was also featured in “Voyage of the Surrealists” in August 2009.

Herculean Construction in the Vicinity of Globular Cluster M13 - oil on canvas - 22" x 14"
by Dave MartsolfI love absract forms that sit on the edge between pure abstraction and a surrealism where the observer can imagine known objects or anthropormorphic shapes. I also love light. Here is use a hidden light in deep space that is lighting up realistic three-dimensional space. The globular cluster M13 is of course in the Messier object in the constellation Hercules. I have always had an interest in astronomy, cosmology, and metaphysics in general. Newer works are going to be filled with sunshine.

It’s out there. The painting makes use of the hand-drawn sketch as a basis with the end painting being the beginning and end for color palette definition, meaning colorized from the heart and head through the brush and onto the canvas with no intervening studies. This work has was featured in the Avant Garde group after having placed 5th in the Homage to Dali Challenge hosted by that group. September 2009 It was also featured in the Let’s Pay Homage group, also in September 2009.

Two people, an adult and child, both float in clouds that weave far out in space over a planet that also forms the head of the earth mother god Gaia. The idea is to show how fragile our little blue planet is. We should all think a bit about the word stewardship in this respect. This small blue marble is all we have and all we really have to give to our children.

This 3D image is from an old screensaver I made years ago called “Alien Babes”. I was really sucking up to the male computer geek mentality, but the days of pay-for-screensavers were numbered as Hollywood figured out it was a great way to promote new movies – screensavers for free!

Back in the 1990’s I had created Damsel Software Group and made dozens of screensavers, some realistic, and some like this one. The ‘Alien Babes’ screensaver featured Picque Dayton’s trip across the universe through lands where women rule the lands. Here, Picque has just arrived through warp travel in Hive City where she will journy to the top platform of the hive and jump off the edge into a wormhole in order to travel to her final destination, an Alien Babes vacation resort. All the Alien Babes scenes were created using Poser, Bryce and Photoshop. In Red Bubble “Alien Hive City” was featured in C.O.R.E in September 2009.

The Last Supper has always been painted as though by an observer. But, to me the point of all Christian teaching is to understand the world through the eyes of Christ. At the very least we should all try to emulate the greatness of the man. So, what better way to feel our responsibility to others and learn how we should act toward one another than to put ourselves in Christ’s shoes so to speak. This painting tries to do that, and tries to catch the moment when all the disciples (only some of them shown here in modern dress) suddenly realize what Chirst is doing and what will happen soon in the future. This is a “Let’s Pay Homage” to all the painters in the last who have painted “The Last Supper” and to the good tenet of the religion that the work is based on. “The Last Supper” was featured in Hand Painted or Drawn Buildings and Architecture in August 2009. It was also in the top ten of the PiMT group challenge Art in Art in August 2009, and was featured in the Imaginative Realism group in September 2009.

The sky is blue. This was made with an old Kai’s Power Tools program which was then worked on with motion blurs, edge smoothers, sharpeners (but only at some of the prominent edges, increased saturation, and some brightness contrast.
