This is a collaboration between my daughter, Brianna (13), and myself. :) She’s a fantastic photographer for her age..she amazes me much of the time. She showed me this photo that she took, and I begged her to let me work on it. :) (yes…I had to beg! Teenagers..ya know?) Anyway, she’s been studying Japanese for a little over 2 years now, so when I asked her what we should call it, she said simply: ki. / Japanese for tree.. / / / >featured< / homepage / / /

“Once” diptych section 2, charcoal on Stonehenge paper, 16×20”. The Stonehenge paper takes some time in working with charcoal, but the results are well worth the extra time required in glazing and rubbing into the tooth of the paper. This results in deep, rich, velvety blacks. Glen Hansard, from a photo by Zoran Orlic, http://www.myspace.com/zoranorlic , with the permission of the photographer. I discovered the Irish band “The Frames” this year, and it was love at first listen. Glen Hansard is the lead singer and guitarist with a powerful style, and influenced by some of my favorite groups, like Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. Wish I’d discovered them years ago, fantastic! Soon after finding The Frames, I saw the movie “Once” filmed on a shoestring in Ireland. Once stars Hansard and Marketa Irglova, a pianist and singer from the Czech Republic. The couple (now also a couple in real life) wrote and performed all of the music from the movie, and even snagged an Oscar this year for the song “Falling Slowly”. Since Hansard started his career in the same way as the character in the movie, as a busker on the streets of Dublin, this is a wonderful story of success through determination and hard work. Glen and Mar are now on a successful concert tour with a show called “The Swell Season”, performing songs from the movie among others. I’m fortunate to have tickets for the Chicago Theater performance in June. I was inspired by this couple enough to want to do a drawing of them as a gift, an idea that came to me after a myspace friend of mine told me about how she gifted Glen with a guitar because his guitar from the movie was on it’s last hours of usefulness. Thanks, Mary Beth, for your help and encouragement! Since I had no way of taking my own photos, I contacted some of the photographers who have worked with Glen and Mar over the past few years to request using their photos for references. I found Zoran Orlic and Patrick Glennon here on Myspace, and they have been more than helpful and supportive during this process, cheering me on all the while. I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity of getting to know them both better along the way. Thanks so much Zoran and Patrick! You are the best! And of course, with photo realism the result is only as good as your references, so any comments on lighting, composition, etc. should go to these fellows. I only changed the compositions slightly and removed a few unnecessary details like mikes and the like. The hardest part for me was choosing the photos that would go best together from the many great photos these photographers have taken over the years. The results of the work fall short of my vision, but that’s always the way for artists, as Zoran reminded me. Charcoal on paper is really tough, and the smooth gradients are about as smooth as they will ever get. All in all a good exercise, and a great way to network and produce a co-operative work. Since most of my work in the past few years has been influenced by music, both rock and Irish music, it seemed like a good fit for me. It’s also nice knowing this one has a place to go outside of my studio. I hope they like it. :) ~ Alice

Was just looking through some old paintings. Here is a crop from an old abstract painting that I sold at auction a few years ago. I’ve added a little plastic wrap and a few other digital effects to it to bring out the colors. /

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.

The grand staircase, this time shot with only available light/mirk for a more unsettling ‘Silent Hill’ look. Just a little light tone mapping to avoid burn-out and retain shadow detail, otherwise this is all natural – including the small scrap of very blue wallpaper in the bottom left.

From the “Black Butterfly: The Muse” series. Grace #1 of 3 The 3 Graces: Aglaia (radiance) Euphrosyne (joy) Thalia (flowering) It was the poet Hesiod who named the Graces in his Theogony: “Then Eurynome, Ocean’s fair daughter, bore to Zeus the three Graces, all fair-cheeked, Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and shapely Thalia; their alluring eyes glance from under their brows, and from their eyelids drips desire that unstrings the limbs.” From a reference photo by Rolling Stone magazine photographer Baron Wolman. Groupie Karen Seltenrich, San Francisco, Nov. 1968. Image was used in a New York Times article “When we tell you what a Groupie is, will you really understand?” Charcoal on Mylar film, 20×16” I saw these photos and fell in love with them – Baron was so gracious to allow me to use them. I added the flowers and butterflies, from a pattern on scented drawer liners. Here is a quote from Baron about the groupies: “As concert promoter Bill Graham has given me all access to any of the concerts he produced, I spent quite a bit of time backstage with the bands, their roadies and their women. What fascinated me were the lengths to which the women, the groupies, went to prepare themselves for their backstage appearances. Because I also wanted an excuse to photograph them, I suggested to Jann they might make an interesting story. He agreed and Rolling Stone Magazine No. 27 became known as “the groupie issue.” It was widely promoted, read and commented upon, even turned into a book.” -Baron Wolman While the rest of the models I’ve used in the series are in the arts themselves, I was intrigued with the idea of groupies – and their intrigue with rock & roll artists of the late 1960’s. It seems to me they were using their own bodies and persona as an art form to attract their artistic “muses.” I guess you could consider some of the works in my Black Butterfly series “Cover Tunes.” I believe the borrowed references are vital to the series to relate the idea of inspiration, and its relation to talent and celebrity. These “tunes” well deserve a stylish, honorable replay. Many thanks to the talented people who have loaned their vision of the muse to aid me in illustrating my ideas.

Grace #3 of 3 From the “Black Butterfly: The Muse” series. Charcoal on Mylar film, 20×16” From a reference photo by Rolling Stone magazine photographer Baron Wolman. Groupie “HARLOW”, San Francisco, Nov. 1969. I saw these photos and fell in love with them – Baron was so gracious to allow me to use them. I added the flowers and butterflies, from a pattern on scented drawer liners.

This work was featured in the groups 1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture and Out of the Past. Grace # 2 of 3 , Charcoal on Mylar film, 30×20” from the “Black Butterfly: The Muse” series. The 3 Graces: Aglaia (radiance) Euphrosyne (joy) Thalia (flowering) It was the poet Hesiod who named the Graces in his Theogony: “Then Eurynome, Ocean’s fair daughter, bore to Zeus the three Graces, all fair-cheeked, Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and shapely Thalia; their alluring eyes glance from under their brows, and from their eyelids drips desire that unstrings the limbs.” From a reference photo by Rolling Stone magazine photographer Baron Wolman, groupie Sally Mann, San Francisco, Nov. 1968. (No relation to the photographer of the same name) Sally married Jefferson Airplane’s Spencer Dryden in 1970. Here is a quote from Baron about the groupies: “As concert promoter Bill Graham has given me all access to any of the concerts he produced, I spent quite a bit of time backstage with the bands, their roadies and their women. What fascinated me were the lengths to which the women, the groupies, went to prepare themselves for their backstage appearances.

He agreed and Rolling Stone Magazine No. 27 became known as “the groupie issue.” It was widely promoted, read and commented upon, even turned into a book.” -Baron Wolman I saw these photos in an old book picked up at a resale shop. I fell in love with the groupies, and Baron was so gracious to allow me to use them for the drawings. The feminine effect of the references are enhanced with the flowers and butterflies. In this case, I decided to draw Sally holding the lilies, as she married soon after the photo was taken. It’s also about peace & love & hippie-ness, baby. :) While the rest of the models I’ve used in the series are in the arts themselves, I was intrigued with the idea of groupies – and their intrigue with rock & roll artists of the late 1960’s.

Scott Kelby’s Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk / Old Port, Montreal Quebec, CANADA / Saturday July 18th 2009 8:30 to 10:30 AM / It was a very wet and rainy morning. / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens / Taken inside the garden courtyard of a restaurant. / The Jazz combo was taking a break! / “Double basses are constructed from several types of wood, including maple for the back, spruce for the top, and ebony for the fingerboard. It is uncertain whether the instrument is a descendant of the viola da gamba or from the violin, but it is traditionally aligned with the violin family. While the double bass is nearly identical in construction to the other violin family instruments, it also has features which derive from the viols. Like many other string instruments, the double bass is played either with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings (Pizz). In orchestral repertoire and tango music, both bowing and plucking styles are used. In jazz music, the bass is mostly plucked, except for some solos (and also occasional written parts in modern jazz) which are performed with the bow. In most other genres, such as blues and rockabilly, the bass is plucked.” / ~Wikipedia Softly As In A Morning Sunrise/Christian McBride
