Oil on canvas tryptich. / The painting is a large oil on canvas diptych approx 2metres X 120cm and features three painters at the end of a table (Brett Whiteley, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Vincent Van Gogh). The table is also a barron Australian landscape with the foreground area being a resting spot for various art materials and a cup of coffee which has an actual handle petruding from the canvas (I dropped a cup one night whilst painting and collaged on the broken handle). There is a lot of text scratched into the paint (with the back of a brush) which I have reproduced below for readability. There is also a fair use of collaged material scattered about the painting. A letter from Australian artist George Gittoes, a CD of Miles Davis along with a notepad with some of the other music I have been listening to in recent months whilst painting this work. Jigsaw pieces, pencils, pencil shavings, a loaded paint brush, a matchbox and even a reproduced letter in Vincents pocket to his brother Theo (the original 1883 letter had a sketch included aptly titled “People in the Studio” More..). I have also included a reference to a letter from an artist friend in the US who used a Andy Warhol stamp on the envelope. Painted within the landscape are two small easels with two of my previous paintings on them (“Miles Davis” and “Pots” which hangs in my studio at present).

Paint on through Modigliani & Miles. / Paint on through blank canvas & empty palette. / Paint on through exhibition & inhibition. / Just paint on. -Leith O’Malley MORE INFORMATION: / Talking to the Muses about Art” is more a case of elaborating or building on all that I liked about a previous painting I did called the “Talking to Picasso..” . One thing I did start to develop however was turning the table top in the foreground into a landscape and yet retaining the idea of it being a tabletop at the same time. I have carried this through to more recent paintings and am enjoying mixing my love of figurative work with the landscape elements. / / The text in the background of Muses is a sort of tone poem. It is reproduced in full on my website and talks about the struggle to paint and the obsession with wanting to keep painting (“paint on through”) no matter what. / Sometimes I feel like the painting is telling me what it wants rather than the other way around. There is definitely a sort of love/hate relationship with some of my work and I often feel empty after a painting is completed. I scraped the text and thoughts into the paint with my fingers, stick and a brush handle mostly and they represent my thoughts and the imagined conversation with Whiteley, Basquiat and Vincent. / / The painting has a road running from the foreground which sweeps up and around to the central figure (Basquiat). There are several motifs along that road which deal with struggle and decision making (eg. The hurdles). There are also collaged pictures of paintings I have done along the way and references to the circus via the striped tents. My parents traveled Australia with Ashton Circus when I was young and I have recurring imagery about this time in several of my works (clowns and tents). / / There are also some collaged quotes scattered about the painting. One of my favourites is a line I reproduced from a Laura Viers song which reads “all the time spent dreaming is never lost” and another unrelated quote “art is never finished, only abandoned” which also struck a chord with me. / / In the lower left of the foreground I have made reference to my love of graphic art with a painted colour chart and just below the bowl containing the collaged pencil shavings I have presented three pencils. One is real (glued on), one is painted realistically and the other is a photograph of a pencil. There is also a collaged article on Picasso’s use of collage in his work. / / Just writing this brings back so many good memories about the painting, and upon reflection it is very interesting to look back and think about the motivation behind the work. / / “Talking to the Muses about Art” was recently purchased by the Chairman of Country Arts SA (Adelaide) so I won’t get to see it for some time unfortunately. Photographic reproductions don’t really do it justice as there is quite a significant amount of texture, thick paint and glazed areas throughout the painting. / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -

Insane or Wired or Brilliant? Brilliant Plath disappeared in her Bell Jar / Intense Vincent Van Gogh was labelled insane / And when he cut off his ear they cried he had gone too far / They cut poor Frances Farmers emotion out of her brain / And made her placid benign boring and dull / Angelina was considered already dead / Vulnerable girl interrupted accused of a lull / Her hurt was cold but her blood was red. Insanity was thrown in my face at 17 / When the high school boys shouted / My favourite artist Van Gogh was insane… / ‘He is not’…I found my voice / ‘He is sensitive, passionate, intense, / misunderstood…and Don Mclean had / it right on that Starry Starry Night / He took his life as Lovers often do… / I could have told you Vincent this world / Was never meant for one as / Beautiful as you. Ah the eternal debate… / There is a fine line between / genius and insanity…they say / and how closely do we step the tight rope / With so much mental illness today / Exposed…Depression, Anxiety, / Bi-polar…Obsessive Compulsive / Disorder…A mental health professional / recently advised that 9 out of 10 have / a mental health issue. / Are so few exempt…are these figures really true? With so much stimulation in the media, mobile, data / Sensory overload with iPods linked to our brain / Texting 24/7 with our mobiles we sleep instead of our lovers / Is the cyborg fantasy becoming a reality…? / in this wired generation? / Constantly on…we must be or we miss out… / We become fed by instant gratification / and stimulated by virtual admiration. / Addiction to this constant contact means that our / heads are overloaded with stimulus but / not given as much time to reflect, to think, to feel. We are becoming overdeveloped in responding to stimulus / and underdeveloped in knowing our own heart. / Strangers and outcast to our own feelings / Dependent on the hit and the high of the new / and losing sight of the bravery of the subtle and simple. / Craving perfection and the eradication of foibles / we photoshop out our character lines and faults / so that we fit into some kind of ideal of the neo post notion of beauty. Are not faults far more defining then some sanitised notion of perfection? / Are not our faults the real indicators of our individuality? / Is not our vulnerability a sign of our sanity? / Does not our sensitivity reveal that we still belong to humanity? / Taking time to celebrate and know the individual in their idiosyncrasies / Surely this is worth the effort rather then striving for some standard of / fantasy that can never be translated? I shudder when I think were we are headed / Man machine…woman machine…cyborgs half man half machine / I pray that disposable people, relationships that end with a click / of the key and people racing to rejection will never be the accepted. / And that the human mind, heart and soul will pause…think and / move the emotional muscle so that sensitivity can still survive / and link us together through heart and mind / right through to the end of time. So Vincent, Sylvia, Frances, Angelina and Girl Interrupted / Insanity does not seem to be able to define, / What really was going on in your mind, / As far as I can tell…you all could see, think and feel, / Oh that you suffered and were misunderstood / This cannot be denied but you were / real raw and achingly human in your pain / and there was no question of your humanity / Even if there was and still is a question over your sanity. To me you were brilliant, free, sensitive and intense / And by all indicators ahead of your time. / And I bow to your courage / to follow your own voice and live the / passion that was raw in your heart… / To me it is as if you just knew right from the start. by Anthea Slade 26-4-09

I must admit Impressionism has always been my favorite art movement and Van Gogh a talent unmatched. I also must admit that this piece was strongly influenced by Van Gogh’s masterful Starry Night. / / zazzle / zazzle

Boots
by Glen AllenImage inspired by Van Gogh’s early period. Started life as a straight still life of a pair of boots. I had been to the Van Gogh museum and wanted to do a tribute to the master himself. So I set about experimenting with various manipulation filters and programmes until lI discovered a little gem that allows me to turn my images into oil painting effects. Magic!

Paint your palette blue and grey / Look out on a summer’s day / With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils / Catch the breeze and the winter chills / In colours on the snowy linen land Now I understand / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen they did not know how / Perhaps they’ll listen now. Starry starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze / Swirling clouds in violet haze / Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue / Colours changing hue / Morning fields of amber grain / Weathered faces lined in pain / Are soothed beneath the artist’s LOVING hand Now I understand / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen they did not know how / Perhaps they’ll listen now For they could not love you / But still your love was true / And when no hope was left inside / On that starry starry night You took your life as lover’s often do But I could have told you, / Vincent, / This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you Starry starry night Portraits hung in empty halls / Frameless heads on nameless walls / With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget / Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes / A silver thorn / A bloody rose / Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow / Now I think I know / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen / They’re not listening still Perhaps they never will – Words by Don McLean Music – Art of Noise – On Being Blue / For Vincent Painting in acrylics, inks, pigment, chalk and graphite / 100×42 cm on paper

For a change of pace, I decided to try painting in Photoshop. Never done it. Thought it might be a good exercise. But what to paint. How about a piece that would give me an opportunity to do a variation on one of my favorite artists as well as be a good illustration for my wife’s company Listening House? This is how it turned out. Size: LARGE / Photoshop on computer screen artist’s collection, of course.

Starry, starry night. / Portraits hung in empty halls, / Frameless head on nameless walls, / With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget. / Like the strangers that you’ve met, / The ragged men in the ragged clothes, / The silver thorn of bloody rose, / Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, / How you suffered for your sanity, / How you tried to set them free. / They would not listen, they’re not listening still. / Perhaps they never will...

Coy fish tantalize waiting Penguins as the master looks on. / Original sixe: 48” X 48” Medium: Acrylic on canvas.

My rendition Almond blossoms VAN GOGH / On January 31, 1890, Theo wrote to Vincent of the birth of his son, whom he had named Vincent Willem. Van Gogh, who was extremely close to his younger brother, immediately set about making him a painting of his favorite subject: blossoming branches against a blue sky. The gift was meant to hang over the couple’s bed. As a symbol of this new life, Vincent chose an almond tree, which blooms early in southern regions, announcing the coming spring as early as February.
