Not a “pretty” painting and it’s never has been shown much until its recent inclusion in a current show. The young man has tremendous baggage. Pursed lips conceal bad teeth. The blue of his stained “fast food” shirt squabbles with the blue of his coat. He works two jobs. The inexpensive earring is a small conceit, His disease is held to be his own fault by most and it’s wide spread and untreated where he lives in West Virginia. Simply put it is the kind of poverty that affects the working poor. I carry the words of a woman from that area who spoke on the subject and its stigma during the Great Depression; abandoned by her husband she said, “Here I am. Dirty..smelly, with no proper underwear ‘neath this rotting dress. The stench of my teeth makes me sick. They’re decaying, but they’ll never be fixed. That takes money. Poverty is dirt. You may say, in your spick and span surroundings, “Anybody can be clean!” Let me explain housekeeping without money. For breakfast, I give my children grits with no margarine, or cornbread made without eggs or oleo. What dishes there are, I wash in cold water. No soap. Even the cheapest soap is used for the baby’s makeshift diapers. Look at these cracked, red hands. Every day I have to decide whether I can bear to put these burning, sore hands into that cold water and strong soap. Why don’t I use hot water? Hot water is a luxury. We don’t have luxuries. Poverty is staying up all night when it is cold, watching our feeble fire; a stray spark would ignite our newspaper walls letting us die in the flames. In the summer, poverty is letting gnats and flies drink my baby’s tears.” The fry cook came to my attention because of his kindness to another and painting him was a catharsis. He was kind and generous within his limited means to a young woman who had lost her twin two year old sons in a house fire there after Christmas some years ago. A very personal hero because the woman was my daughter and the boys were my grandsons. Acrylic on linen covered panel

DETAIL: “The Studio & Spirits Dream” Oil on Canvas. / I spent the last decade uprooted and on the road. I landed in a barn for awhile on a millionaire’s horse ranch, eventually turning the tack room into a studio that was liveable, enabling me to move out of the ranch’s bunkhouse (12 X 12 foot room with sink) and take up barn residence. It was a wonderful place for 4 years with horse pasture – about 200 occupants – out the door. Goats, sheep, mule named Corizon and Rambo the Ram in stalls and paddock on the other side, the Santa Lucia range all misty , mooned, sunned, gusted, and Milky Wayed before me. And it was the first functional studio I’d had in years. I wrote. And I painted. / This dream, this studio I painted there, is crowded with things I loved and hadn’t seen in ages, stored on the other side of America. Over filled with people I’d loved who’d died. With animals alive and not, who still owned my heart. With a chair from my twenties that no longer existed and the dream of my own bed again where such dreams could populate my nights. The cats who survived the move from Brooklyn then to Virginia’s wilderness then across country are on my bed, and some who departed before we got there, here too. My wonderful chocolate Lab – Rodin – is on alert at the bed’s end. A woodstove I’d seen once that would restore life to this heatless barn (I eventually got a kerosene heater). Some of my many thousands of books I carry with me that prop up my life are here, and all the intimate angels swinging through the undone work, the ready easel, the heart’s workplace.

Evening rituals of gazing upon a bright starry night / when a kaleidoscope of color catches my sight Looking in awe as a lone star shines colors’ light in the sky / In the Southeastern direction, its rainbow glow flashes my eye The heavens are glorious, this for sure I have known / but what’s seen through a camera lens simply stands alone Perceive this picture with your mind’s eye and heart / let it touch your soul, as it did my own, as Father Skys’ art. tkrosevear – WindOwl 1/2/2009 Photo taken through a window with my Sony Cybershot and zoomed, no alterations, just the night sky at 8:45pm (PST) before the clouds rolled in.

Assemblage. Mixed media: Linen thread, collage, rag paper, acrylic, assembled on canvas. Size: 335×415 x 32 mm / Hanging format – Pages can be turned to view the different sections. From the Exhibition Elevating the Spirit “The world is full of resonance’s. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit.” (Wassily Kandinsky from Article ‘On the question of the form’) Archetypes and symbols: the thread ‘tracks’ are a metaphor for transition between states of being, planes of paint, spirit and matter; forms of vessels, grids and planes echo containment within levels; colour resonates with symbology, emotion and memory.
