Very moody. Very good.<BR/><BR/>I'll be back later. More I'd like to say, but must get to work. Thank you for answering my question.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693378720453372676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831537707623184222.post-11425022788762354432007-12-17T03:41:00.000-05:002007-12-17T03:41:00.000-05:00Hi John, wished my English was so good I could say...Hi John, wished my English was so good I could say more in my comments. I love the organized chaos in your work. <BR/><BR/>You mention great artists, I saw them all. Saw the first paintings of Franz Kline, Pollock and Rotko in Germany, saw more of these great artists in Switserland, Spain and Hungarije.<BR/>The huge Rotko's were the most overwhelming art-sensations I ever felt. (I went back 2 times to Germany to see them again).Trijniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822237740948313692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831537707623184222.post-89834447007705029802007-12-16T23:58:00.000-05:002007-12-16T23:58:00.000-05:00Thank you for being so kind. The only thing I sha...Thank you for being so kind. The only thing I share with Pollock is that we both lived/live on Long Island - he was a genius. At best I have attention deficit back ordered. <BR/><BR/>I do like Pollock, my favorite is Motherwell. Kline, Dieberkorn, Rothko. Degas. Monet. Pissaro.<BR/><BR/>In my "art" I try to create something at peace with elements that move. To locate the static compositon within quantified chaos.<BR/><BR/>It is easiest when you start with an attractive image and I learned and grew (I am far from matured) manipulating images of a NYC dancer who I discovered quite by accident on MySpace (her space). I srtruggled after that and still am. I do feel like I am startring to get the hang of it, slightly.<BR/><BR/>Years ago, I photographed in color sidewalks, curbs, stairs and did shows in San Francisco. Later painted on photographs, mainly B&W with soft pastels, this was in NY. The gallery owner told me the next thing I diod would be amazingf and it has taken me 15 years, thre kids and two cars, one house and four jobs. Same wife, thank her.<BR/><BR/>Moved here, NYC, to do art. Stayed because I love cold icy winters and humid summers. <BR/><BR/>None of my newer painted images are here because I do not have a scanner. The electronic image is phase one - many are made to be painted and I consider them "backbone" images. There is adanger in making the electronic copy too detailed.<BR/><BR/>I have only shown my new stuff, a tear drop of a portfolio, to friends and have done this blog quietly and basically never reached out to anyone. Then I found a "blog of distinction" (if that is what they call it), and went to the site because I saw the word collage. And I followed some of Neda's links to see other work.....it is kind of like walking into a college bar with seven bucks, ready for a beer and some pinball.<BR/><BR/>Sandy Deeny is a gem. <BR/><BR/>Do you know Neko Case? I love Neko and there are couple of her 2007 concerts for free on NPR Concert podcats. <BR/><BR/>Thank, again. Take care.John M.

Sounds like I'm contradicting myself. Your work has that kind of effect -- a dichotomy of so much going on. <BR/><BR/>I just like your work and when I come here I look at it for a long time, trying to come up with the right words.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious. How would you describe it? Or, even, how would like it to be described?<BR/><BR/>I just realized Jackson Pollock comes to mind -- bold inventiveness.<BR/><BR/>Can I say I love Denny again? I love Denny again.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693378720453372676noreply@blogger.com
