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).

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. / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – / - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -

Don’t talk too much, russian poster of communism fear. During the Russian Revolution a movement was initiated to put all arts to service of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In search of new forms of expression, the Proletkult organisation was highly eclectic in its art forms. In practice it meant that artists had to produce works glorifying the leaders and policies of the Soviet Union. Art effectively became a form of propaganda.Posters and paintings works in Style later known as Socialist Realism sympathetic to the communist government include partisans, hammers,sicle, stars and industrial or agricultural landscapes were popular subjects, glorifying the achievements of the Soviet economy.Artists who could not work within the boundaries of Socialist Realism were send to the labor camps. Artists who chose to paint in alternative styles had to do so completely in private and were never able to exhibit or sell their work. (wikipedia.org)

http://www.zazzle.com/andreacreations / pencil drawing scanned and edited (digital collage, digital painting, filters and effects) in photoshop cs2. this piece was inspired in the mail between a man and a woman and specially in the letter she sent back to him, burning in passion, in reply to his letter to her, in which he proposes to her and writes about his love. / it’s a letter full of love, devotion, passion and desire and it can be partially seen in the art a thousand kisses deep

Shot at Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, OR. It was a misty evening and the people were moving through the fog to get to this very large rock looming up and out of the ocean. From a distance…they all looked like shadows in some kind of a trance making their way.. slowly towards a goal. It was as if the rock was calling to them…as if it had it’s own siren’s song with a promise of something needed…maybe spiritual healing…or inner peace? – Most likely, and in reality, what they all probably needed was a nice photo to take home from their travels. But, I choose to believe the other…I like inner-peace :) The title of this photograph was taken from a Peter Gabriel song “Come Talk to Me” which kept playing over and over in my head as I worked on it. I thought it appropriate. :) -

Inspired by stock very kindly taken from / http://www.book-of-light-stock.deviantart.com/ Lyrics by Talking Heads Well we know where were goin’ / But we dont know where we’ve been / And we know what were knowin’ / But we cant say what we’ve seen / And were not little children / And we know what we want / And the future is certain / Give us time to work it out Were on a road to nowhere / Come on inside / Takin’ that ride to nowhere / Well take that ride Im feelin okay this mornin / And you know, / Were on the road to paradise / Here we go, here we go Chorus Maybe you wonder where you are / I don’t care / Here is where time is on our side / Take you there…take you there Were on a road to nowhere / Were on a road to nowhere / Were on a road to nowhere There’s a city in my mind / Come along and take that ride / And its all right, baby, its all right And its very far away / But its growing day by day / And its all right, baby, its all right They can tell you what to do / But they’ll make a fool of you / And its all right, baby, its all right Road to nowhere

We were on our way out to Stoke Poges the other day and on the way we stopped off to see the horses in a field. This one seemed to be saying something to us and Lee Martin, who just happens to speak horse told us what he was saying. (Is there anything this hairless guy can’t do? LOL) HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny.” LEE – “He say I ain’t getting on no plane fool.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say why am I talking like that?” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say Tony takes better photo’s than I do.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And so does Tina and even Jackie” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And most of the people on Red Bubble” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “Shut up horse, what do you know anyway?” HORSE – “Plenty now get your hairless head out of my field.” LEE as he climbs over the gate – “I don’t know what the world is coming to these days there is no conversation anymore” LOL Sorry guys, I got carried away, again. The horse was actually warning either us or the other horses in the field not to get too close to his mate and young foal. I hope you like it and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.
