Icarus was exiled on the island of Crete with his father Daedalus, the legendary Athenian inventor and craftsman. In order to escape, Daedalus fashioned, for himself and his son, a pair of wings using wax to hold the feathers. Before the escape Daedalus warned Icarus “neither to fly too high nor too low.” Of course, with much hubris, Icarus flew too close to the sun and the wax melted. Icarus fell into the sea and was drowned. There is quite a bit going on in this oil painting. It was the first oil I started in anticipation of the myth show, and it was one of the last finished. Unlike most paintings I do, this piece evolved over the course of execution. There are a couple of reasons for this, the first being the importance of the work. It introduces the ribbon motif that metaphorically binds the mortals to their fate. The painting is important in that it is also one the largest and most interestingly shaped as it is in tondo form with a very elaborate circular frame. And finally it established the ethos that these paintings were not simply retellings of the old tales; they are symbolic and regenerative. In the present piece the aesthetic and the title speak to this very issue. The headpiece that Icarus wears is a Phrygian hat. The Phrygian hat was given to freed slaves in ancient times and it became the symbol of travelers. The meaning is apparent; Icarus and his flight become synonymous with man’s desire to explore, to push his boundaries even at great risk. Icarus the impulsive youth is elevated to Icarus the explorer and tragic hero. In this painting the technique is important as well. Several oil techniques are used and the palette is quite expansive in relation to my normal working methods. The varying use of glazes with highly modeled areas, then reinforced with heavily impastoed sections creates a very stimulating effect. Taking a cue from Delacroix, many of the colors have their corresponding complimentary color that skews to the warm or cool depending on its position in the piece. This is highly unique in my body of work and yet it is an ever-developing theme as it coincides nicely with my central goal, which is to use techniques that always focus attention on and emphasize the figural elements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470884464964-OK2EGZBD3I80J0ZJF3IB/The-Traveler-Phrygian-Icarus-w.jpg Mythology - The Traveler Phrygian Icarus Oil on canvas mounted on wood Distressed and limed frame with metal leaf highlights Image 30” in diameter Frame size 39" diameter SOLD The story of Icarus is one of the most well known in classical mythology.

One is an extended and somewhat convoluted play by Niccolo da Correggio based on Ovid’s text and of course the other is the myth itself. The artwork concerns itself with the original Greek myth. Aurora, goddess of the dawn and sister to Helios, fell in love with the handsome mortal youth Cephalus. This infatuation became even more ardent as Cephalus spurned the goddess and the despondent Aurora began to ignore her task of leading Helios through the sky. In order to avoid chaos, Cupid shot Cephalus with one of his arrows and Aurora’s love was returned. It is the central part of the story that is illustrated here, albeit in a highly stylized form. To further emphasize that stylized quality the entire painting has a cool crystalline aesthetic that is appropriate to dawn and calculated to heighten the form of Cephalus. The young shepherd has just awoke and in symbolic fashion is throwing off the covers of sleep and exposing himself, one senses, in a rather coy way to the appreciative view of Aurora. In keeping with a motif that runs through several of my interpretations of myths, a highly decorative disc represents the goddess Aurora. This device enhances what is a subtle tension in the picture in which soft forms and cool colors contrast with emblematic form of the dawn. Another very subtle device for following the story without becoming too literal is the choice to have the Dawn in the form of the disc virtually jump the horizon and appear to crowd the space of Cephalus, figuratively abandoning her duties as the guide for Helios. These devices as well as the multiple technical effects like the glazing in the figure matched with the flat impasto of the sky make what is a subtly complicated story very aesthetically appealing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470884449535-SARM7WUWNZRZ5DQ84QW8/The-Flight-of-Icarus-w.jpg Mythology - Flight of Icarus Oil on French Linen and keyed stretcher Hand finished, silver leaf Italian frame Conservation mounted Image size 27.5 x 21 Frame size 35.5 x 29 SOLD The story of Icarus is one of the most well known in classical mythology. Icarus was exiled on the island of Crete with his father Daedalus, the legendary Athenian inventor and craftsman. In order to escape, Daedalus fashioned, for himself and his son, a pair of wings using wax to hold the feathers. Before the escape Daedalus warned Icarus “neither to fly too high nor too low.” Of course, with much hubris, Icarus flew too close to the sun and the wax melted. Icarus fell into the sea and was drowned. There is good reason why this painting was chosen as the image to represent the “Feathers and Fate: Mortals in Mythology” show as it quite clearly illustrates a number of the elements important to the show from the thematic to the aesthetic. Firstly, Icarus represents man in general, that is, the will to be free, to explore, and to try with good intention and with bad to push the boundaries. Thus the ribbons that in one form or another function throughout many of the myth works. In a sense, we, like Icarus, are in some way bound to those things that make up our character – our pride and our fear. As with all my works the elements of the painting function to push the figure forward in the picture plane. In this work it is quite successful, especially with Icarus and his magnificent wings silhouetted against the sky with absolutely no reference to the earth. Furthermore, it is not a flat sky, there is movement in the brush work going so far as to completely break up in the upper corners: an intentional device that calls attention, in mannerist fashion, to the act of painting and also symbolically hints that there are undefined areas yet to be explored. The color is extremely important in this piece as well. It is virtually entirely comprised of blues and oranges, these complimentary colors creating a very vibrant effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470884411984-OPM3NTXO648IHI9SNTNP/Danae-w.jpg Mythology - Danae Oil on wood panel Hand finished Italian frame Conservation mounted Image size 12 x 16 Frame size 20 x 24 SOLD This version of Danae developed very early in the planning stages for the show “Feathers and Fate: Mortals in Mythology.” It was important to me to concentrate all the emphasis on the mortal form of the recumbent female, thus the only allusion to Jupiter as he descends on Danae to seduce her, is the glowing light in the background. The story of Jupiter’s seduction of Danae is not commonly known, but the main points are as follows. In order to visit the young woman who had been hidden away in a tower by her paranoid father, Jupiter transformed himself into a shower of gold. Many artists focus on the descending shower of gold and the reaction of the young woman who is sometimes accompanied by an older servant. My concentration, as it has been throughout the “Feathers and Fate” show has been on the mortal and their powerlessness against fate and the whims of the gods. To further enhance the figure of Danae her form and the shadows are built up in a succession of glazes, each becoming slightly more transparent. This gives the flesh a nice glow which is then set off against the background light which is a thicker layer of dark paint that has been scratched through with the wood handle of a paint brush to reveal the warm under-painting. Everything is calculated to lend a simple yet atmospheric quality to the myth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470884428306-V3NGE11HZQIYGS64Z7YJ/Ixion-of-Tartarus-w.jpg Mythology - Ixion of Tartarus Oil on French Linen Hand toned and distressed Italian frame Image size 24 x 29 Frame size 32 x 37 Ixion is probably the least known of the four figures customarily depicted as undergoing torture in Tartarus. For killing his father-in-law and trying to rape Juno, the wife of Jupiter, Ixion was bound for eternity to a flaming and turning wheel. Incidentally, Jupiter was aware of Ixion’s plan to seduce Juno so the god made an image of his wife out of the clouds and the drunken Ixion embraced that instead. The offspring of this bizarre union were the Centaurs. Sometimes I just can’t help myself. I have said elsewhere that art is very often an experiment, a chance taken to see what is successful. This is very much one of those pieces. I just could not resist attempting something I had been thinking of for some time. Several years ago I took up watercolor as a means of aiding the spontaneity of my oils. However, the watercolors developed very nicely on their own and it seemed that the two techniques would stay separate. However, I could not get the idea of incorporating a fluid method of working in oil. Ixion is the result of much thought and experimentation, and I feel it is highly successful. I love having another effect in the repertoire that can be used in varying degrees on other pieces. Here there is a wonderful transparency in the flesh of Ixion, with subtle colors that blend together as a result of the new glazing method and washing it over a very light and loose sinopia, or ink-like underpainting. The fluid background is wonderful as the symbolic state of Tartarus and it is enhanced as much as it enhances the solid black of the shadows. The black shadows help define the space, but they also function as a flat decoration; in a way it recalls the background of the red figure ceramics of ancient Greece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470893082262-QP0JHZAPGSN67DWX99IR/Scene-from-Ovid-A-son-of-Niobe-WEB.jpg Mythology - Scene From Ovid: A Son of Niobe Ink & Watercolor image 7 x 5 frame 18 x 16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470893107516-65NZDHQSDIFP3NIF3WDI/Tantalus-W1.jpg Mythology - Tantalus Watercolor Hand painted and finished Italian frame with shot silk and linen wrapped mats Conservation mounted Image size 23.5 x 19.5 with arched top Frame size 34 x 27.5 Even if the story is not familiar the name of Tantalus is since it gave us the modern word - tantalize. For the crime of killing his son as well as revealing some of the secrets of the gods, this former king of Lydia was sent to Tartarus. His punishment was to forever stand in a pool of water up to his neck only to have the water recede every time he tried to take a drink. In some versions fruit hangs above his head and every time he tried to pluck something to eat the wind would blow the fruit away, thus ‘tantalizing’ him for eternity. This picture is all about the new interpretation. I took some liberties with the story to give a new vision of the myth, one in which the ribbon motif appears again and signifies the way in which most of us mortals are tied or bound to the very things that torture us. We know things are bad for us yet we continue to act the same way. True, Tantalus was consigned to hell by the gods, nevertheless the metaphor still applies: as humans we do have free will and must suffer the consequences. Though the ribbon appears to prevent Tantalus from drinking if one studies it one can see that it is relatively lose, not at all a prohibitive binding, in a sense alluding to the complicity our minds have in restricting us, somewhat like an allegory of conscience or guilt. But, the sagging fetters and the unusual palette give the piece an almost mystic feel rather than the tension one would expect from a soul struggling with an eternity of thirst. It is not too far of a stretch to sense a far eastern, Asian tone in the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470893125721-X81J500WY2KQLESG8GDJ/The-Abduction-of-Ganymede-w.jpg Mythology - Abduction of Ganymede Watercolor Nouveau feather motif frame, hand wrapped silk and linen mats with fillet Conservation mounted Image size 24 in diameter Frame size 39 x 39 SOLD This myth is one of a number that feature a homosexual attraction. Ganymede was a beautiful shepherd and the son of Tros, a legendary king of Troy. Jupiter fell in love with the youth and having transformed himself into an eagle, abducted Ganymede. Once on Olympus, Jupiter made him the cupbearer of the gods. Often times in the classical myths, the mortals are completely vulnerable to the whims of the gods. Ganymede the shepherd, as far as we know, had no desire to be taken off the earth, ravished and made cupbearer to the gods. But, such was his fate. An unlucky situation for Ganymede but perhaps but lucky for us, as this myth is such a rich source for imagery. I have chosen in this interpretation to emphasize the pathos of the scene. In a sense it becomes a type of secular Pieta or some kind of somber apotheosis, and accordingly it is treated very symbolically. For instance the crook that Ganymede holds is for show, very much like the identifying attribute of a saint and the whole composition is emblematic: it is impossible for flight to occur in the positions of our protagonists. The importance is not in the actuality but rather in the idea of the abduction. Man is subject to the gods and all that implies. The falconer’s fetters on Ganymede’s ankles are further symbols of this subjugation. For effect this watercolor is done in a manner I rarely employ in which multiple layers of color are placed on the paper to give a denser appearance, but this effect is quite in accordance with the theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470893142681-BEM6LUAY31MO5P82A5MY/The-Immolation-of-Semele-w.jpg Mythology - Immolation of Semele Watercolor Hand finished Italian rustic frame with silk and suede hand wrapped mats and gold distressed fillet Conservation mounted Image size 16.5 x 17.25 Frame size 30.5 x 31.25 Juno discovered that the mortal, Semele, was with child by Jupiter and she began scheming to destroy her. Juno wickedly advised Semele to persuade Jupiter to make love to her for once in full, divine glory. Jupiter reluctantly agreed and when he appeared in his true state, Semele, of course, was reduced to ash by the power of Jupiter’s light. Mercury who sewed the child in Jupiter’s thigh until it was able to survive on its own saved the unborn child just before the immolation. That child would become Bacchus, god of wine. Once again a mortal is unwillingly swept into the lives of the gods and pays the price. However, in this piece I decided not to concentrate on the ramifications of the plot but rather on the explosion of light and color as Jupiter reveals his true image to Semele. Like the oil painting Cephalus Awakening to the Dawn and the Adoration of Aurora, this painting is one of the most conspicuously aesthetic that I have done. There is a hint of an interior and Semele reclines on some cloth and pillows but the entire background dissolves in a flash of warm light. The tiny blue cloth is a purely compositional device that contrasts nicely with the oranges, golds and peach colors everywhere else in the scene. More importantly that tiny bit of contrasting blue brings the viewer’s eye back to the figure of Semele before she too disintegrates in the fiery light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470647674068-4HZNMNGZM657PJCMIEGX/The-Dissipated-Cloud--Io-w.jpg Mythology - The Dissipated Cloud: Io Stumped conte’ on tinted paper Hand finished Italian rustic frame with silver leaf, silk wrapped mat Image size 20” x 15” Frame size 30.5” x 26” In order to hide his infidelity from Juno, Jupiter disguised himself as a cloud to visit and seduce Io. Juno became wise to his game so Jupiter changed Io into a white heifer. Again, Juno was not fooled and cunningly asked for the lovely heifer as a gift, which she left in the care of the hundred-eyed giant Argus. Upon Jupiter’s orders Mercury charmed Argus to sleep and beheaded him. In memory of the giant, Juno placed Argus’ eyes on the tail of the peacock; in revenge she sent the gadfly to torment the heifer forever. The title tells the story of this work. We enter the scene, metaphorically speaking, after Jupiter and Io have made love. Jupiter who was in the form of a cloud has left, dissipated, the cloud is dissolving. Io is still aloft, still in the throes of sexual delight. This effect is achieved in the lovely recumbent and limp figure of Io and the billowing drapery on which she lies. But a sinister note is still apparent. Dissipated can also mean dissolute, degenerate, lewd and lascivious: all names that could easily be used to describe Jupiter. A sense steels into the scene that all is exposed and Juno is somewhere close and watching. This sinister note is given visualization in the headdress that Io wears. The horns, with the ever-present ribbons, allude to her unhappy future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470648149021-X64JT03D6B2REQX5OCH6/The+Sun+Watcher++Clytie+w.jpg Mythology - The Sun Watcher: Clytie Stumped conte’ on tinted paper Hand finished Italian rustic frame with silver leaf, silk wrapped mat Image size 19” x 14.5” Frame size 30.5” x 26” This story reverses the more common theme of god and mortal love in that the pursuer is the mortal rather than the god. Clytie was spurned by the sun god when he turned his attention on her sister Leucothea. Still Clytie could not abandon her devotion to Apollo and the lovesick girl literally wasted away by watching the sun cross the sky everyday. This myth artfully explains the characteristics of the sunflower and the marigold. The scientific name of the common sunflower is helianthus annuus, Helios is the Greek name for the sun-god. The story of Clytie is one of my favorite myths. I love how the ancient myths made humans a part of nature. Literally, mankind was made out of nature but also became and existed within the natural world. It is a regenerative ethos quite distinct from the modern or rather the Judaeo-Christian concept of a natural world in which man is somehow above it, a defacto ruler of the earth. With a myth like this it is easy to let the simplicity of a composition speak volumes. Clytie seems to spring up out of the earth, but she is part of it and it is a part of her. The intricate and fluttering headdress foreshadows the petals that will eventually grow from her hair. What could be more to the point of the myth than a beautiful female form lovingly and longingly turning her head to the source of her love and what would ultimately become the sustenance of her life? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471163647715-YCBW2YV2B4IPR1IAX0K0/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Athena Stumped conte’ on tinted paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470977785037-B7CCH3WJW7U5LDLCNY0U/Daphne+I.jpg Mythology - Daphne Stumped conte’ on tinted paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470977795897-1W6HLKFFKAJZ52OIDMHL/ganamede-w.jpg Mythology - Ganymede Stumped conte’ on tinted paper working sketch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761116812435-CDC223DR94H4EES1YHQW/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Aries pencil sketch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761116401596-QNT920M1FQE902LCIT1S/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - The Love of Aurora: Cephalus Conte on tinted paper image 19 x 16 frame 31 x 26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761117035651-3K39BZJXB29DLLEK4HYJ/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Birth of Adonis watercolor working sketch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761117321409-Z9UTRU5BBM32XOGUHIV3/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - The Shepherd of Aurora Watercolor image 11 x 8 frame 23 x 20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761117717214-WRDRBEBD1DKE7IBOZW6F/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - The Sacred Laurel Watercolor image 10.75” x 8.25” frame 23” x 20” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761118040155-L1ZQX2V78ULX3Y5BGX9F/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Europa and the Bull Pencil on tinted paper image 15 x 21 frame 25 x 31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761118430010-5ZVGOJVJ5ETGYDZDY0BS/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Leda and the Swan Pencil on tinted paper image 16” x 19” frame 28” x 31” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1761118646377-BN4LFUQEP422YNP2L0SN/image-asset.jpeg Mythology - Medusa Conte on tinted paper image 21” x 15” frame 30.5” x 26” http://www.randallmgood.com/sacred daily 0.75 2025-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471166367243-4EQZELWXXLMB8DEZXQSH/rose+peita.jpg Sacred - The Rose Pieta Watercolor and gold leaf 28 x 20.5 SOLD From the very beginning this picture was to have a Florentine richness about it, but it was to maintain the pathos inherent in the subject. The Florentine quality begins with the tight construction of the Madonna and Christ. It is emotional and highly stylized. She could no doubt hold Her Son like this, yet everything is planar, pushed to the front and emphasizing the flowing contours of the line. The composition is locked in place by the series of verticals and horizontals that run through the picture. The strong vertical element of the Honor Cloth adds drama and metaphorical power to the piece, particularly in the way that the flower and decorative elements compliment the subject both visually as well as in the iconography. Color plays an important role in establishing the feel of the piece as it serves a symbolic more than a descriptive purpose. The numerous reds that hint at blood as well as the bruised looking sky seem ominous and yet they enhance the vivid quality of the nude and add to the overall richness of the work, especially when combined with the gold elements. The paint is allowed to move across the surface and the broken patches lend it a feeling very much like a small precious tapestry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471166367243-4EQZELWXXLMB8DEZXQSH/rose+peita.jpg Sacred - The Rose Pieta Watercolor and gold leaf 28 x 20.5 SOLD From the very beginning this picture was to have a Florentine richness about it, but it was to maintain the pathos inherent in the subject.

I am continually striving to unite all of my sensibilities as an artist in the service of a personal aesthetic. This piece represents a new level in the combination of all of these elements, such as compositional power, technique, figure poses, color, and so forth. I have always felt that a piece works best when all of these elements heighten the visual idea and that is why I am so pleased with this particular painting. The pose was originally inspired by my studies of Michelangelo's Rondadini and Palestrina Pietas in which the figures are shown vertically rather than the traditional horizontal or recumbent attitudes. Verticle is naturally a dramatic posture and I have tried to accentuate the physical and spiritual closeness of Mother and Child by turning the two parties face to face. Also contributing to the spiritual quality of the design is the gentle touch with which the Mother holds her Son; so gentle in fact that She would physically be unable to support the weight, but the gesture is significant and appropriate for the picture. True to the tendencies I have towards a more Mannerist design sense is the great feeling of darkness within this picture, which upon further investigation becomes a little ambiguous. The flat black becomes decorative rather than obfuscating; less like shadow and more like an element conscious of its job to enhance the linear elements of the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165077342-YCFCBNEGJDOJIXOXYE0U/Charity-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Charity Watercolor with 22, 22.5 and 23 karat gold leaf Hand distressed with gold leaf and acid color washes. Linen fabric wrapped mat. Italian frame by Roma. Conservation mounted. Image size 25 x 18.5 Frame size 42 x 35.5 SOLD The subject of Charity may be considered an allegorical image, though its origin is specifically from the three theological virtues of the church. These include faith, hope and charity, the last being chief. Charity has been a popular subject throughout the ages, although the present form of a woman nursing and protecting three infants was devised and became the predominant version around the 16th century. The visual representation of Charity is a unification of the image of the Virgo Lactans with the central concepts of love for God as exemplified in love for one’s neighbor. In my conception all of these aspects are present: the woman, giving herself wholly to the infants (commonly understood as born of another woman), thus taking care of their earthly, physical needs shall be rewarded in Heaven as alluded to in the shimmering gold leaf background. A quick note on the gold leaf – the grid like pattern makes a nice backdrop against the organic shapes of the tree and figures. Instead of using a single type of leaf I employed three different grades, all of a slightly different karat and color thus adding to the subtlety of the piece. I will also say that there is significance in the dead appearance of the tree as well as the single broken branch, the only one with any leaves at all and totaling seven, and held by the second infant. Though these elements have a particular meaning for me, they can and should mean different things to everyone, as we all have our own experiences and ideas - there in lays the greatness of art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471164904680-UV65J0E4NUSEE5FNKO7C/archangel-michael-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Archangel Michael Watercolor and gold leaf 40 x 28 SOLD It is hard to know where to start with this particular piece. I knew I wanted to portray Michael, but I wanted the work to be vastly different from traditional representations of Him vanquishing Satan and so forth. I gravitated quickly to the unique tendency in Mannerist practice of combining a simplified, natural quality with a hierarchical, almost Gothic formality of composition. This gives the picture a power and grace that is then multiplied by the huge wings that almost pinion the figure to the center and very front of the picture plane. This novel approach to the treatment of the wings, including the use of four large wings rather than two tiny ones, emphasizes the true power of the Angel, the symbol of the Church militant and judge of souls, the latter role indicated by the scale half hidden by the figure's weight bearing hip. To say weight bearing is misleading, it is just another compositional device to add strength to the figure, anchored yet rising triumphantly against the sky. To prevent a stifling severity the figure is given a subtle grace and a half-feminine/half-leonine head. I designed the frame especially for this piece. It was built by Charles Mayfield Woodworking in Denton, Texas. Some of the inspiration comes from the Laurentian Complex designs by Michelangelo. The suspending corbels and attached pilasters without capitals have a Mannerist feel which compliments the image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428110359960-6U2GZ8PFOVFT7SS1PSID/deluge-detail-oil-w.jpg Sacred - The Deluge Oil on wood panel 15.25 x 18 SOLD The Deluge is closely related to another piece, The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, in that they are both representations of figures in the extremes of pathos and tension. This type of subject is of particular interest to me, allowing me to satisfy my aesthetic of putting the human form in expressive poses and relegating the story to the background. In this painting one still sees the cause of so much exertion and resignation in the turbulent waves at the bottom of the work. However, like most of my work, I am not really commenting on God's great wrath, rather the theme is a psychic expression made physical. In this instance the poses and composition speak of a humanity in distress and their reactions, be they fear or expiration, and to a great extent in this picture a certain obliviousness to their fellows. The connection to an underlining story is blurry here and really begins to disappear in the Sodom and Gomorrah piece. Aesthetically, even for a relatively early piece one can see my predilection for pushing the figures forward in the picture plane. This is achieved by isolating them against the flat strip of stylized rock that runs through the composition. Technically there is a nice translucence created by using many layers of thin glazes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428110187487-R13RGROKO8OTCJV75N6P/Tenebroso+Crucifixion+oil+p.jpg Sacred - Tenebroso Crucifixion Oil & Gold Leaf on wood panel 21 x 17.25 SOLD I have always regarded Michelangelo as the ultimate artist, so much so that the next artist, in my opinion, is a distant second. His immeasurable individuality never ceases to amaze me and I think often of a particular time in his career. In the middle of his life, while others were concerned primarily with creating depth and realism in their 2 dimensional works, Michelangelo in a sense "regressed," if one can use such a word when talking about this particular artist. He returned to the expressive qualities of medieval and trecento art, not that his figures ever lost any of their corporeal presence and his mastery of line never wavered, rather his designs really became quite planar and aggressively engaged the viewer both visually as well as emotionally. The Crucifixion drawings from this period of Michelangelo's career are truly some of the most beautiful drawings ever done. His monumental figure characterizations married to an archaic stylization, an "expressive decorativeness" if you will, (some of his drawings were primed for, or show the remains of gold leaf!) had a direct effect on the developing mannerism. However, the tendency towards naturalism prevailed in the Baroque age and dominated for the following 300 years. All of this is a long way of saying that here is evidence of the type of aesthetic that truly moves me and which I am attempting to pursue, especially in this piece. It is very unusual to see a mixture of oil paint and "archaic" styled gold leafing. I use the technique for several reasons, not the least of which is to heighten the spiritual impact, that "expressive decorativeness." This element makes a wonderful contrast to the palpable figure of Christ and the somber atmosphere of the background. Finally, the line is still of the utmost importance as it undulates and disperses in the darkness only to congeal again in the silhouettes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428108419301-X8M5UFUN1QWFKSJL0B2D/saint+andrew+oil+p.jpg Sacred - Saint Andrew Oil on canvas 23.75 x 20.25 SOLD For something that on the surface appears so simple there is actually quite a bit within this image. Despite how it sounds, I will always feel that this is one of my most perfect compositions. I have always tried to expand on the repertoire of poses utilized by painters to represent certain events and it is no exception with St. Andrew, who I have painted numerous times. Typically this patron Saint of Greece and Scotland has been shown spread eagle on the X shaped cross, the form of his martyrdom. As is my practice I wanted a less narrative representation and a much more symbolic image. I also wanted an image that would explore the emotional potency of the figure through a pose and more importantly through the ebb and flow of a type of Florentine line that would define the figure. The figure would also take up the underlying geometry, which would ultimately unite the entire composition, and yet remain a moving and elegant form in a mannerist tradition. Saint Andrew is realistic in coloration and modeling and yet he hangs in a manner that would not really support his weight in such a way. The flesh wrinkles and folds naturally enough but the huge thigh with the beautiful arabesque line would make him a virtual giant with a somewhat smallish head were he to stand. However, these tensions and mannerisms are what make it such a moving and arresting image, especially when combined with the colors employed. The blue was agonizingly worked out to create the most powerful impact with both the warm flesh tones and the elegant, otherworldly green of the cloth. The cloth also continues the geometric underpinnings as it visually completes the circle of the central part of the picture, a circle which is then locked in to place like a bull's-eye by the wooden cross pieces. The cross pieces are themselves countered at regular intervals by legs, cloth and torso. The whole is worked out to the least detail, similar to the most intellectual of Pousin's works, without becoming cold or severe. The frame itself is perfectly suited to the piece and was hand finished in Italy with a unique acid wash. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428109119757-BI243YFSLKJAPFY4BO7X/Scarecrow-oil-w.jpg Sacred - Scarecrow oil on canvas 43 x 30.5 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428913028114-X5DDZTTIV2G31YS5F5LX/Irene-discovering-Saint-Sebastian-oil-w.jpg Sacred - Irene Discovering Saint Sebastian Oil on panel 29.25 x 23.25 I have always been inspired and challenged by Mannerist art. Italy is of course the major area of study, but a lesser known and especially interesting area of study for me has been the art of late Renaissance, proto-Baroque, Spanish and Neapolitan art. There was a tendency at that time for some artists to combine elegant formal traits of courtly and high ecclesiastical art with the immediacy and power of the Caravaggisti and Tenebrists. This has been a starting point for me of late and is particularly apparent in this, one of my most successful works. Where I begin to deviate from the manner employed by artists of that time like Cavallino and Ribera starts with the extreme lack of situational detail. Next, for me the aesthetic choice of a dark manner is to heighten the linear pattern of the composition, for the earlier painters their use of dark was to emphasize depth and shadow. The shadow and atmospheric quality is no doubt imperative to my work, but the main focus is to use the black like a solid presence, that describes the line and silhouette even while it completely envelopes other areas. In this version the form of the Saint is seen in twisted pain, highlighted at the foot of two trees with a single arrow piercing his breast. On the scene arrives Irene, but it is a quite arrival, without theatrics. Everything is subdued, yet the color scheme quietly glows and the protagonists play out the action against a sky that glows like embers. Irene seems to merge with the two trees and create a strong monumental quality. Combining this vertical with the horizontal foreground I was able to offset the composition thus giving a unique view and heightening the impact of the sky. Sebastian is a powerful form, an internal struggle made visible, and thought he is half enshrouded by the darkness, a darkness that seems palpable and against which he appears to struggle, the picture plane does not absorb the Saint but pushes him forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428108316497-2OQACR9TFVXZKKMZ51NA/resurrection-a-1500-w-fixed.jpg Sacred - Resurrection Oil on canvas mounted on wood 17.5” diameter SOLD While the watercolor version of this work concentrates on the movement made apparent by the interplay of the convex and concave elements, this oil version focuses on the weight and power of the form arising from the cloth. Of course the same compositional elements are present in both works, but it is amazing how the emphasis can shift when the medium is changed and a new aesthetic direction is explored. In truth, that is a current which returns again and again in my work, especially now, as it is a special challenge to treat themes in various media. In this oil a very tactile technical approach has given the figure a powerful presence as he bursts forth from the darkness of the grave. The draperies billow and seem to open up like flower petals. Again the darkness around the figure describes more than it hides and the whole reads like an elegant symbol, emphasized by the round shape. Incidentally, the round shape was traditionally used in Renaissance and Mannerist Italy to indicate a gift. The choice of this shape was very much a conscious one in light of the deepest meanings of the subject. The colors, which at first seem quite lively, actually manage to have quite a weight to them through the use of numerous glazes which play nicely against the impasto sky. I actually did the round frame insert myself, gold leafing it over an incised pattern. Then it was antiqued and brushed heavily, especially over the inscribed pattern to allow the hand tinted priming to show through. The effect seems to be one of a precious yet aged object, made whole by combining it with the art work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428913255513-ZW4IJIFIKRTQRDOF6KMC/pieta-oil-w.jpg Sacred - Tenebroso Pieta Oil on wood panel 23 x 17 I would be hard pressed to overestimate the importance of this picture with regard to my development as an artist and within my work as a whole. I am continually striving to unite all of my sensibilities as an artist in the service of a personal aesthetic. This piece represents a new level in the combination of all of these elements, such as compositional power, technique, figure poses, color, and so forth. I have always felt that a piece works best when all of these elements heighten the visual idea and that is why I am so pleased with this particular painting. The pose was originally inspired by my studies of Michelangelo's Rondadini and Palestrina Pietas in which the figures are shown vertically rather than the traditional horizontal or recumbent attitudes. Verticle is naturally a dramatic posture and I have tried to accentuate the physical and spiritual closeness of Mother and Child by turning the two parties face to face. Also contributing to the spiritual quality of the design is the gentle touch with which the Mother holds her Son; so gentle in fact that She would physically be unable to support the weight, but the gesture is significant and appropriate for the picture. True to the tendencies I have towards a more Mannerist design sense is the great feeling of darkness within this picture, which upon further investigation becomes a little ambiguous. The flat black becomes decorative rather than obfuscating; less like shadow and more like an element conscious of its job to enhance the linear elements of the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1427946075134-72MIOYUMUGGDKH5JRF38/cruifix-oil-w.jpg Sacred - Crucifix Oil, Pastel, and Dry Pigment on Canvas 40 x 36 I have said elsewhere that art is in some ways experimentation. That is, seeing what works visually as well as what works technically. Without a continuous regeneration of approaches, both subtle and extreme, even the most divergent compositions can become stale. I try to keep this in mind, and as a result I am constantly changing my techniques - or perhaps more accurately I am enhancing them by looking for techniques and variations of techniques that speak to a specific design. Thus the manner used for the Crucifix. It was painted almost entirely with my fingers, by blending and rubbing the paint and pastel as well as the dry pigment into the canvas. It is a very severe result, but successful for this conception. I don't use this method often but there are other planned images and even variations on this technique. This composition was inspired in part by the great French sculptor Francois Rude who created an intentionally truncated figure of Christ for a Crucifix. This compositional treatment quickly engages the viewer in a very empathetic way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428107932688-1FJK9IL9NCW7LOECV8BW/paolo+and+francesca+oil+p.jpg Sacred - Paolo and Francesca Oil on canvas 14 x 11 SOLD This started as an idea for a commission to be done on a wall in a variation of the fresco technique. To approximate that effect the oil paint was mixed then strained through cheesecloth to achieve the dry, matte finish. Unfortunately the commission fell through, but this study exists on its own as a finished piece. The subject comes from Dante's Inferno. Dante meets the doomed lovers in the second circle of Hell and learns that while Francesca da Rimini was betrothed to the deformed Giancotto Malatesta she succumbs to desire with Paolo, Giancotto's brother, while reading about the illicit kiss between Guinevere and Lancelot. Giancotto discovers the pair and slays them. Dropping the prurient overtones and guilt laden coyness of Victorian representations, I concentrated on the visual possibilities of the embrace of the two lovers. The composition is severely frontal and decorative, helping to make the sexual overtones more subtle and thus Giancotto's head peering in from behind the curtain makes him appear less the offended and more the offender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428108187603-RES9GRT9RJEMS5O3C9GE/reserected+christ+oil+p.jpg Sacred - Resurrected Christ Oil on wood panel 19 x 12 SOLD This is a very early work, and one that is quite elegant in its simplicity. So much of it is inspired by the work of Michelangelo, from the conception to the pose. Michelangelo probably initiated the theme of the Risen Christ holding a symbolic cross when he carved the sculpture that is now in Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It has long been neglected by historians, yet to me it is a powerful conception and is related to the way I like to think of composing, that is, a very focused figure or figures whose emotional content and physical energy are inextricable. Designs like this become quite symbolic, and perhaps more stimulating to the viewer because they are not just narratives. The pose is somewhat of a quotation of Saint Andrew in the Last Judgment fresco, although made to look more ethereal, a marble figure made to look like flesh but still pale from the grave. The contrapasto, or turn of the figure, is slightly less tense; as if the struggle over death has left him exhausted, leaning on the symbol of His martyrdom, and hardly able to get free of the rocks of the tomb. The nudity is no shame; it has the sense of a Greek athlete, or like a new born. The death shroud is gone, replaced by the blood red hood that balances a very stark composition. Again, this is a symbol victory not a narrative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1411087608068-XLGZ8JQCJMNAFHMO3PKU/christ-figure-oil.jpg Sacred - Christ Figure Oil on canvas 22 x 18 SOLD Sometimes paintings have to take shape their own way. Most of the time my paintings are thought out, planned well in advance, and many studies done in preparation. This oil is unique in that it followed its own course and as a result has become one of my favorite pieces. I originally started it as a study for a larger picture that I was planning. The larger picture was altered but I was fascinated by what was developing in the painted sketch. At this point I began to experiment technically, using an extremely liquid glaze over the under paint then working in highlights of paint that I had ground with a minimum of oil. That was almost all it needed; the figure isolated against a virtually untouched background had an elegant simplicity of which I have always been fond. The drapery was then added to further define the figure in its space and to heighten the subtle nuances of color and value. The drapery elements were also painted in a very fluid manner using a very liquid glaze then dragging thick, stiff paint into it with the palette knife. It is this combination of fresh, impetuous brushwork against the simplicity of the composition that makes this piece work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428109654760-7U9GK6STI0ZSZNKQ8GH8/St+Anthony+desert+oil+p.jpg Sacred - Saint Anthony In The Desert Oil on canvas 22 x 18 SOLD This picture is related to the Saint Sebastian, Paolo and Francesca, and Saint James of the same style. They were all done as studies for a commission to be painted on walls using a variation of the fresco technique; therefore the paint was strained through cheesecloth to approximate the anticipated matte finish. Although the commission was never carried out the sketches were completed in such form that they exist by themselves as finished pieces. Along with Paolo and Francesca this may be the most conceptually complicated of the series. As is my habit however, I have culled the subject down to its minimum by eliminating much superfluous detail, if one can call it that. It is obvious that the hermit Saint is wrestling with the hallucinations that the stories tell us afflicted him, but there is more than that. The Saint is no old man, bulls which from ancient times through Picasso have been viewed as symbols of sexual power, and the figure twisted around Saint Anthony are a bizarre combination of the seductive and violent, demonic and corporeal. There is much tension in the poses of the central figures but they exist in an almost flatly decorative world. It is dizzying and in a way effective as the picture becomes our own hallucination and not the Saint's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428109854917-O2BHNKJHQ70BCT6H5T86/st-james-oil+w.jpg Sacred - Saint James Oil on canvas mounted on wood 18.25 x 16.5 This picture is related to the Saint Anthony, Paolo and Francesca, and Saint Sebastian of the same style. They were all done as studies for a commission to be painted on walls using a variation of the fresco technique; therefore the paint was strained through cheesecloth to approximate the anticipated matte finish. Although the commission was never carried out the sketches were completed in such form that they exist by themselves as finished pieces. One would hardly know that this image is of Saint James were it not for the walled city ghostly silhouetted in the background and that is alright. I have never much cared for conceptions in which everything is spilled out right there on the canvas. Most viewers of art bring their own preconceptions to looking at a piece and begin almost immediately to relate to it in their own terms. I try to give them flexibility to interpret on their own terms while subtly directing them towards a feeling or sense by utilizing design and drawing as well as poses and technique. This approach is paramount in Saint James. Most traditional art of the past several hundred years tells us there should be shadows and yet in this picture there are none, and even more disconcerting is the fact the Saint's body is flesh and completely modeled. Certain areas are left completely unpainted: the head for instance, is it a skullcap or a foreshadowing of his decapitation told of in legend? Though a city looms in the background everything is flat except for the very palpable body that rests as on a stage. All of these factors engage the viewer, begging he or she to ask questions and in the best cases to mentally answer themselves based on their own unique views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428110002996-LUG90D8V0VSNOW3KKTU4/saint-sebastion-w.jpg Sacred - Saint Sebastian Oil on canvas mounted on wood 23.5 x 20.5 This picture is related to the Saint Anthony, Paolo and Francesca, and Saint James of the same style. They were all done as studies for a commission to be painted on walls using a variation of the fresco technique; therefore the paint was strained through cheesecloth to approximate the anticipated matte finish. Although the commission was never carried out, the sketches were completed in such form that they exist by themselves as finished pieces. This was the very first sketch done and is perhaps the simplest. However, this simplicity is one of its greatest assets, creating a starkness in which the figure seems to inhabit, as if on stage. The intentional lack of shadow and the ghostly white areas where no paint is applied continue throughout the series and generate a very surreal atmosphere. This otherworldliness is not inappropriate for a group of pictures that deal with Saints unaffected by arrows or tormented by visions, as well as a couple whose story is told by a poet who meets the lovers in Hell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428107680684-6KRQ2B67MWY9EI2R50XS/face+of+a+saint+Philip+p.jpg Sacred - Face of a Saint (Saint Philip) Oil on canvas mounted on wood 10 x 7.5 SOLD Most of the work I do is actually very thought out and labor, as well as thought intensive. I normally do several sketches and figure studies before I ever begin to work on the final piece. However, from time to time I do "let go" and work relatively free. Such is the case with this small painting. It is neither a study nor associated with any other work, it simply is. In the past I have tried to leave numerous small panels laying around ready to do impromptu sketches in oil, but I got out of that habit. I am happy that I have recently returned to that practice, this work being one of the initial results. Very few make it out of the studio, but this is one of my favorites. What is interesting about this painting is that it was entirely spontaneous, so spontaneous in fact that it was painted entirely with my fingers and then a broken brush handle to drag through the wet paint hinting at wrinkles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428111053380-DSI884I4NB971BSBQ5NU/Sodom-Gomorrah-oil-w.jpg Sacred - The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah Oil on canvas 48 x 60 In my notes to The Deluge I spoke of my fondness for this type of conception and the challenge and inspiration it gives me to compose using multiple figures. I also mentioned how the story is of secondary importance, the main theme being the pathos generated by the poses. It is especially true in this instance, where the narrative content all but vanishes. I am not making a statement other than the sublimity and tension inherent in the story and made visible as a weaving of the forms in a mannerist way. In some ways, when designs truly succeed they actually complicate the "reading" of a piece by eliciting so many contradictory feelings - fear and comfort, rebellion and resignation. So fond of this type of composition am I that my sketchbooks literally overflow with intertwined figures and their various permutations. Several large-scale versions are in development and in these instances the narrative base is completely gone, they exist for themselves. They have outgrown the need for a point of origin and thus have become truly universal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1411353447446-A9LYMKGF1HG1KWRUHB8R/great-sky-1500--VH-w.jpg Sacred - The Great Sky Crucifixion Watercolor Image Size 49 x 32 Frame designed by Randall M. Good I will never be accused of being a landscape painter. However, it is important in my work that my images have a frame of reference, that even though they are site "unspecific" they are not "nowhere" backgrounds. At their best, they heighten the visual impact of the main theme of all my pieces - the figure. This quality is of the utmost importance in this work, where I try to call up an almost cosmic feeling akin to the works that loosely inspired it, pieces by Albrecht Altdorfer and Pieter Bruegel. Though the figure resides low and small in the composition it is no way diminished, rather the tragic and heroic, that which we call human is emphasized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165269336-338OPP5K8YHO3PWNV8JG/crucifix-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Crucifix Watercolor and gold leaf 17.5 x 14.75 SOLD To my mind, the two most perfect compositions and subjects to which I return repeatedly are the Crucifixion and the Pieta. For my style and aesthetic sensibilities both subjects offer an inexhaustible source of poses and tensions, pathos and feeling. My approach to the body is such that I seek out the descriptive and emotional potential through the arabesque and rhythmic nature of a Florentine type of line. Using this technique on this painting and by forcing the figure to the very limit of the frontal plane by focusing on the torso, the viewer is almost immediately engaged. As for the pose, the original idea when working with the model was to have the head upturned in a longing way, however the image never quite seemed right. The resolution came with the exhausted dropping of the head; the emotion read nicely and it proved to be the perfect contrasting movement to the upward lift of the arms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471166236842-DPGNGHPM1SPQIODBVTU8/Resurrected+Christ-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Resurrected Christ SOLD Watercolor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165638097-FDO203SPDIKAETJJN2ZE/Moon-Pieta-wc-w.jpg Sacred - The Moon Pieta Watercolor and Gold Leaf 25.25 x 19.75 SOLD The Pieta, where Mary cradles the dead body of Her Son, is, as I have stated, one of my favorite subjects. However, this interpretation is different in a couple of ways. Firstly, most of my pieces are worked on for great lengths of time, labored, and explored; whereas this painting absorbed me from the beginning, and from conception to completion it was the only piece on which I worked. Secondly, my other interpretations tend to focus on the linear rhythms and pathos of Christ's nude figure, while this one concentrates on the tenderness and protective nature with which The Virgin envelopes Her Son in the monumental drapery. The moon in the piece is both symbolic and compositional, an emblem of the great darkness of the land at Jesus' death, and also a soft contrast to the hard edged cloth as well as a compliment to the halo that encircles the nearness of the two players. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165758736-M1GBX8I42YRMNI681CHU/Pieta-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Pieta Watercolor 25.25 x 17.25 SOLD It is apparent how much I like this composition from the fact that I have treated it in oil, watercolor, and several drawings. I do love this design, but I often work a piece in several different mediums. When I do this it does not detract from the other pieces, one does not become more important than another. I have always felt that it is a great treat to be able to work and rework a successful design and see the different feelings and qualities you can achieve. The oil version of this composition makes extensive use of shading and line play to create a sense of quiet monumentality. The color compliments that association. In the watercolor the sense of movement is enhanced and the vibrant color is central to the drama: the same starting point but two very different feelings. Although the watercolor heightens the feeling of movement none of the power of the pose is lost. Unlike traditional representations of Pietas in which the protagonists are dispersed horizontally this design takes a cue from Michelangelo's Rondadini and Palestrina Pietas. The figures are shown vertically and to emphasize the spiritual closeness of Mother and Son I have turned them face-to-face as the bodies almost float, suspended against a tumultuous sky. Pieta actually means Pity, and although the composition is easily recognizable in the western tradition of religious art I have intentionally left out obvious symbols. The true meaning lies in the universal truths of love, devotion, sacrifice, loss, and hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165493340-4B3VQHXZ81HUAX6PJHD4/Latin-Crucifixion-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Latin Crucifixion Watercolor and silver leaf Hand distressed Italian frame with black linen wrapped mat Conservation mounted Image size 25.5 x 17 Frame size 39.5” x 31 In many ways art is an experiment. One picks colors, juggles shapes, and accepts or rejects ideas according to their success. So it is with this picture in particular. I had success with other works utilizing very dark areas, with the indistinct yet subjectively moving "backgrounds," and using gold leaf. However, in this picture the dark area is not used as a background shadow but as a rhythmic pattern unto itself, somewhat merging figure and cross into one. This form is then cast against an increasingly abstract, or more accurately an unspecific background; a tendency I have always had and which seems to be growing stronger in conviction as I search for ways to push my figures further into the foreground. Finally, the choice of silver leaf rather than gold was aesthetic as well as an experiment in appropriateness - somehow silver evokes light and purity, an ideal contrast to the somber upright of the cross. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1471165368864-WA1DU4FU9I1X6ZWD8LKL/Irene-Discovering-Saint-Sebastian-wc-w.jpg Sacred - Irene Discovering Saint Sebastian Watercolor 28.5 x 23.5 Legend has it that after the Romans made their first attempt at martyring Sebastian, he was discovered and nursed back to health by Irene. Quite often Irene is referred to as a Saint, however she was never actually canonized. Nevertheless, the subject has been portrayed numerous times by artists throughout history. This interpretation is, for me, rather classic in the sense that the composition is closely related to many Renaissance and Baroque forerunners. However, it begins to deviate in the actual aesthetic treatment and the posture of the Saint. Firstly, the technical treatment is to some extent experimental. The very dark foreground isolates the figure against the very lightly applied background. This generates an almost backlighting affect, but more importantly it intensifies the main preoccupation of my work, namely the play of line, whether it be line by itself or as a type of contour silhouette. The very dark manner that I return to again and again is not, like a true tenebrist, a mode to generate deep shadowy recessions but for me a means to exaggerate the patterns and rhythm created by the line. The figure of Sebastian is truly mannerist, a pulsating knot of tension rising out of his foreground space yet constricted within the planar constructs of the composition. The strong vertical elements of Irene and the trees help to intensify the tension created by the Saint's pose. http://www.randallmgood.com/ovalis-characters daily 0.75 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1428924406789-EE5QNKGB224S3I8SDT06/Bindrith-a-Hagra-Ve-HiRez-W.jpg The Ovalis -

Elcinoe, The Aeloi Releasing Her Tears Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 22k Moon gold leaf & 12k White gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper Here is a very brief account of Elcinoe's story. Elcinoe and Coellinyus were both minor Aeloi, technically Daemeads, who had charge over very specific parts of the Earth like a wood or meadow. They were in love. One day Coellinyus was captured by humans. He was tortured, abused, and exploited during his long captivity. Elcinoe wiped away his tears, sweat, and blood every night with her long hair. Upon his death she flew over the land of humans and wrung out her hair letting fall a rain of suffering and death. For this action she was awarded the epithet "lachrymortatrice" - she who cries tears of death - as well as elevating to the physical embodiment of a concept, that of consequence. She is not revenge, she actually represents the inevitable result of actions taken or ignored. To capture the power of this concept I allowed myself to experiment a bit. Never one to abandon decorative elements I fused them to the symbolic aspects of the narrative. How? One way is containing the power of Elcinoe's sentence on the humans within a stylized framework. This achieves two things - it conveys a sense of metaphysical, intangibility to the act as well as suggesting that it is completely within her power to control and or change. That is important - consequence need not always be negative and it need not be repeatable. It is possible, (listen up humans!), to learn from history and do better. Another way is that Elcinoe is a powerful, physical presence and her hair an extension, strong and sweeping, of that presence. Last but not least, I chose to emphasize the duality of my conception by sectioning off the tumultuous deluge of Elcinoe's action from the landscape, barely visible in the form of silhouetted trees and far off mountains, as if the land had been obliterated. And, within that tumult I allowed my watercolor to drip down the piece in accord with the Aeloi's judgment and as a striking contrast to the elegance of other passages in the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640824454-EDOZEQ5RELDTVF5HNKM9/Elcinoe+The+Aeloi+Releasing+Her+Tears+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Elcinoe, The Aeloi Releasing Her Tears Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 22k Moon gold leaf & 12k White gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper Here is a very brief account of Elcinoe's story.

As a work of art she is perfectly representative of some of the aesthetic concepts I have been pursuing and she is a seminal character and a perfect example of the demigods that constitute the "Pantheon" in my myth The Shael Ovalis. Aesthetically Nayabella Exultatis, which means "Exalted Spring" or "Nayabella Triumphant", has the type of decorative, Nouveau leaning flourishes that I growingly employ to heighten the symbolic aspect of the work as well as creating a framework which can present the nuance, power, and subtlety of figure and form to an incredible degree. The color assists in drawing the viewer into the world and, hopefully, rouses the curiosity thus bringing them deeper and invested in the whole story. The perfectly frontal, symmetrical placement gives the composition a religious, formal feel that is then countermanded by the fecundity of hair, vine, leaf, and flower. I sometimes refer to her as a verdant Saint. Notes on her character can be illuminated not only in her haughty visage, but in a comparison with another Nayabella - The 2009 Nayabella, The Aeloi of Spring. In both pieces we see the same formal, frontal face and the kind of self important cast of the head and neck. In the 2009 piece there is a bit more sadness as Nayabella reflects on the transitory nature of her three month rule on Earth. In the 2016 work she exults in the fertility of her domain as she proudly lifts her head and neck, figuratively and literally pulling the growing flora from the ground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640807274-I052LZOWG5XS1D1FYEEY/Domida%2C+The+Aeloi+of+Night+and+the+Rew+Mancea+Tree+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Domida, The Aeloi of Night and the Rew Mancea Tree Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 22k Moon gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper As an artist you sometimes wish you could know everything that a viewer thinks about one of your works. Undoubtedly this could be a good revelation or, possibly, a truly terrifying one. Among the many thoughts I would probe, while in the viewer's mind would be - how does this fit in with, or reflect on, other works in this artist's oeuvre? What does this have to do with the work at hand you ask? Well, to me, Domida is quintessential Randall M. Good. It screams my style, choices, proclivities, and preoccupations from every line, color, and form. And, it is one of a long line of similar conceptions - and this, in my humble opinion, is one of the most successful. If I broke it down I would note the simple, elegant and restrained composition, free from superfluous detail. The figure is a strong, highly modeled female, seen from behind and in a twisting pose that allows the light to play on the rounded forms of buttocks, breast, and thigh. Such heroic females have featured in countless of my works including Danae, Daphne, Semele, and, of course, other characters from my Shael Ovalis like Johannen and mighty Iyalishael. There is an interplay with nature, a oneness of human and some natural element, in this case a very spiritual and mystical tree. The devices of the halo, the silhouette against the moon, and Domida's mantle - that hangs like an Honor Cloth from one of my earlier Madonna's - serve to amplify the form's monumental, three dimensional qualities while at the same time pronouncing the formal two dimensional nature of the medium and presentation. Finally, with the decorative and symbolic line work, the piece is given a preciosity and decorative aspect in keeping with earlier works but whose character is specific to the aesthetic preoccupations of my concurrent efforts. A brief note on Domida. In my book The Shael Ovalis, Domida is the Aeloi of night and as such one of her chief responsibilities is the regular occurrence and consistent functioning of that time of day. And the Rew Mancea Tree? Well, some things should be a mystery and invite the viewer to join the imaginary world of Aeloi and the New Pantheon of demigods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640835490-BPMM7BLKVLYC9FYGNIKV/Gaigophrates%2C+The+Aeloi+of+the+Earth+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Gaigophrates, The Aeloi of the Earth Warm stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 23k Red gold leaf & 16k Light Green gold leaf on Rives BFK hand tinted paper Gaigophrates as a written character is relatively easy to define. He is an elemental Aeloi. He is the steward of the Earth. He is not "The Earth" but he is of it and in many ways synonymous with it. He is in charge of making sure it is healthy and he regulates the world's processes. Realizing him visually was a bit more difficult. To achieve this visualization I abandoned old concepts of earth as weighty, old, and ponderous. I think of him as vital and engaged. But I also think of him as the support, the ground, the base on which living things exist and thrive and grow. He is graceful yet firm. Strong and nurturing, but unyielding and unforgiving. Thus I present him as a natural king. Not ostentatious, but with a swath of green drapery about him and spread over his domain, recalling the grassy carpets of the Earth. From his head, like a simple crown, grow branches, for he is the place in which roots take hold. There are mountains in the background - they too are his domain. Plants grow under his gaze - he gives nourishment to all. The palette is earthy, with colors redolent of clay, grass, stone and sand. And about his head is his glorious halo. As an elemental Aeloi, his metallic corona has stylized symbols of his charge. At all times it must be remembered that the Earth is the heart of Daeos so I merged that fact with other Earth elements and came up with a center motif that calls to mind both a heart, a tree, stone and cloud. Then I encircled it with bright red roots and trees because that system helps carry the life force of the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640946457-1DU99N24AIY701TUSJNM/Typontus%2C+The+Aeloi+of+the+Waters+Dividing+River%2C+Lake%2C+and+Sea+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Typontus, The Aeloi of the Waters Dividing River, Lake, and Sea Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 22k Moon gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper It happens occasionally that the main idea of a composition is solid, that it is almost perfect but it lacks one thing or one little refinement. Such was the case with Typontus. I knew from the outset that I wanted a figure very much in the tradition of other water deities - Poseidon/Neptune, Greek and Roman river Gods etc. - hence the older man with long flowing beard. Then I combined that with a powerful figure in my personal mannerist style of musculature and elongation matched to a serpentine, twisting pose. Furthermore, as an elemental Aeloi he would be graced by a beautiful, squared halo, with undulating lines like ripples in the water that served to highlight the monumental aspect of the composition as well as the symbolic/mystical function of separating the waters. The color scheme would, of course, echo the blues and greens of the Earth's waters. The difficulty was in the vessel he held. From the beginning I had imagined a single urn that he held on his shoulder and divided as he poured out the contents. After really thinking about the story of Typontus and embracing the tripartite aspect of his nature that I put in the three piece urn. It stabilized the composition and elevated the decorative and formal aspects. And, as an unexpected and pleasant surprise it gave more structure to the figure's pose. When it all came together I was thrilled and Typontus quickly became one of my favorites. I feel like the piece pays homage to a powerful Aeloi, responsible for the life blood of the Earth and necessity of all living creatures: water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640864547-ZWB98M434UMM1J62CF08/Ijux%2C+The+Aeloi+of+Lightning%2C+Storm%2C+and+Thunder+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Ijux, The Aeloi of Lighting, Storm, and Thunder Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 23k Red gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper Ok, I will admit that I really love this piece. It is a powerful composition for a character with an incredibly powerful story. Sometimes things come together seamlessly when one is working on a project - this piece just had that feel. The back story for Ijux (pronounced eye-yoos) is full of angst and drama. Out of boredom, a need for intimacy, and a bit of spite, Shelum, the goddess of light and energy lay with Gejeux, the Aeloi that embodied the air and winds. Knowing Shelum was with child, the pair, fearing the wrath of chief God Aetor, decided to hide the unformed child in the Earth. Gaigophrates, steward of the Earth, himself got nervous and allowed Typontus to flood the Earth, taking the fetus out to sea and hopefully to drown. Unformed as a being, but still comprised of parts both God and Aeloian, Ijux rose from the sea, wrathful and charged with the energy from his mother, winds from his father and pouring out torrential rain from his last watery home. He scourges the land and sea of this world as he cries out, in the form of thunder, rain, lightning, and wind in response to his abandonment and neglect and confusion. Indeed, in The Shael Ovalis one of his epithets is "The Aenoxymanos", meaning "one feared by God and Man". I tried to create a composition that could match the drama of his story. For that effect I established a strong vertical triangle that has the feeling of soaring to the graceful, powerful form of Ijux, and at the same time has a weighty, downward thrust and push outward. It is energetic and stable. Ijux has been formed by his beginnings, but in no way crushed - he seems to embrace his outcast origins and grow more noble for it. The palette was chosen for its evocation of storm as well as old bruises on battered flesh. And, it is not by accident that the wound cloth that binds Ijux to the Earth is reminiscent of tornadoes and wind, and the broiling clouds are held within his mantle are touched with vivid white like flashing lightning. It may be pleasing to some to know that Claeos eventually bestowed upon Ijux a lovely halo. This gesture was an acknowledgement not only of the destructive, regenerative, and purifying effects of his power but also a very real recognition of the power of individual determination and fortitude to survive and define oneself on one's own terms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640793316-7NL8N836M0NKGW2TI3Y1/An+Attendant+to+the+Aeloi+of+Dusk+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - The Attendant to the Aeloi of Dusk Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 22k Orange gold leaf & Copper leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper Many of the characters and concepts in the artwork and writing of The Shael Ovalis are pretty complex and heavy. It is fascinating and challenging. But sometimes it is nice to just let the imagination take a flight of fancy within the mythical world that I have been creating. This attendant Aeloi is the pleasant result of just such a flight. In my story night and day are in the charge of two pretty powerful, elemental Aeloi - Liktos (Day) and Domida (Night). Liktos' perpetual, lustful chasing of Domida has been somewhat tempered by the intercession of Gaigophrates (Earth), but I began to reason the initial transition from day to night and vice versa could have been abrupt and frightening to early man. The Aeloi Persiphedaedos (Dusk) and Phaea (Dawn) serve the function of easing the transitions, softening them if you will. So, my flight of fancy imagined this assistant to Persiphedaedos, as night rolls in preparing the way for Domida by draping her soft mantle over the earth. The gentle palette speaks to the subtle colors that the observant sees in the waning light of day. The attendant's halo, rather than being full gold is rendered in copper - warm, but much more like the sun seen just before it vanishes over the horizon, like an ember not a torch. Wispy, red accents hint at back lit clouds and the her cloth hangs over her face - an allusion to impending night and its veil of darkness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640851982-NGFZMLYQ1AAJXCJRTVBN/Gejeux%2C+The+Aeloi+of+the+Air+and+the+Four+Winds+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Gejeux, The Aeloi of the Air and the Four Winds Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 23.75 Dream gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper Before I talk about the aesthetics of this piece let's talk about anthropomorphism and how it is reflected in the writings and artwork derived from my Shael Ovalis. The characters, Aeloi or Macheum, God or Goddess, are often associated with an element or concept. Take for instance Ijux, the Aeloi of the Thunderstorm. He is not technically a thunderstorm, but that is inherent in his nature. He is an Aeloi, a demigod type creature who is so closely associated with thunderstorms that he is synonymous with them and even manifests as or produces them. The characters in my stories are sometimes created out of - or from - the very thing they represent. Sometimes they take it. Sometimes their actions earn it. What is always true is that these characters both manifest AND represent their specific, natural, conceptual, or elemental aspect. Concepts are given human characteristics. Humanlike characters take on symbolic qualities. It is a cosmic chicken and egg! Such is the case with Gejeux, the personification and embodiment of the air and wind. Out of this dualistic nature, indeed because of it, I was able to create one of my finest figures. Gejeux is all conceptual mannerism. Conceiving his nature as air and wind as full of swirling, wispy, or powerful movement I gave his form an elongated, twisting aspect defined by a sensuous line. He is lithe and strong. His hips and torso twist like an eddy even while his arms are held back - either blown by a gale or holding open the cloth the keeps the winds in check or releases them at his whim. Gejeux's hair and ribbons, swept high and blown about from his forehead, add to the effect of swirling currents in the air. His giant square halo identifies him as an elemental Aeloi and conveys on him a true sense of nobility and power. While the winds can sometimes seem chaotic there is indeed a structure to their directions and power. Thus I constructed a vertical and horizontal grid out of visual elements (the mantles) that implies a sense of order. Then, within those parameters I allowed a swirling pattern to swirl and churn. The result is a remarkable marriage of the abstract and realistic working together to evoke a very powerful concept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640894849-NLI5P88MRCYV2SM7YO6M/Nayabella%2C+The+Aeloi+of+Spring+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Nayabella, The Aeloi of Spring Stumped conte, ink wash 23.75k Rosenoble gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper With this work, completed in 2009, I have the opportunity to rewrite the artist notes after quite a bit of feedback from viewers. With that in mind I think I will address the most frequent question - Why does she look so sad? Fortunately this is a good question and has real bearing on Nayabella's story and character as well as this, and subsequent portrayals of her. Nayabella is an Aeloi, a demigod-like being, and also one of the elemental stewards of the four seasons. Her special provenance is the Spring. As such she initiates and fosters growth and rebirth, especially amongst the plants, flowers and trees. In the composition this manifests as a show of fertility in the symbolic vines on her mantle, the leafy golden halo, and the flower that grows from her breast. She is given three months on the earth and she makes things grow and blossom and thrive during that time. For most creatures she is a welcome sight. So why the sadness? As a character within my myth The Shael Ovalis, Nayabella is a somewhat haughty, self important demigod. While the other seasons are quite happy and content with their three month allotment, she wants more. Knowing full well how revered she is, and welcome her yearly return, only exaggerates her narcissism. But that is just fine, it makes for a very compelling persona, regal in appearance and well worth portraying - again and again. Plus, like the little myth within the myth says - even when Nayabella pouts her tears fall on the earth as beneficial Spring rain - "Nayabella's pouting, shoots are sprouting, Nayabella's weeping, soon comes the reaping, Nayabella's sadness fills the earth with gladness." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640920194-1DSWH7IHAL6WYG7R77PB/Paetormanus+Trying+to+Extinguish+the+Moon+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Paetormanus, The Macheum That Tried To Extinguish the Moon Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor, ink wash 23.75k Rosenoble gold leaf & 12k White gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper This particular piece may be a little more difficult for some viewers to embrace because it seems like from the title he is a bad guy. Well, he kind of is - he was made to fight battles for a pretty vindictive creator. He tried to extinguish the Moon thereby blinding Claeos and making for an easier assault on Earth. He did not succeed, and in the attempt he lost his life as well as giving us one of the great stories in The Shael Ovalis: how Peacocks saved the world and earned the eyes on their tails. The battle also provided a showcase for the heroine of the myth - Iyalishael. Readers and supporters of my work are probably already familiar with the story of the Peacocks from some of my lectures or readings so I won't go into great detail. Suffice it to say that during the battle between Iyalishael and Paetormanus pieces of the Moon, which is actually the eye of the great goddess Claeos, were dislodged and fell with dangerous potential toward the earth. Perceiving the danger the Peacocks of earth flew up and caught the debris on their tails before any damage was done. As a reward Claeos gave to the birds her symbolic eye as well as the gift of prophecy. This story is alluded to in the stylized feathers that decorate the bottom of the piece. Indeed the whole piece is a fantastic symbol of the entire episode from Paetormanus' voluminous cloak, his moon formed halo as well as the representative moon behind him. I have always loved the beauty of his figure, not to mention the twisted pose and the air of sadness on his face - in art and in writing his character is not at all sure of his place in the world. So, a quick note in Paetormanus' defense. As a result of the battle his body parts are scattered across the Aeos (Universe). His disembodied head sees a great deal, laments the whole notion of war and ultimately becomes (through the works of Timonestes and Uvo Minos) a poetic voice for the grandeur and terrifying sublimity of existence. Later it is revealed that his name in the Ovalian vernacular means something like "what man may (reluctantly) learn". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1477640780893-PUM2NOU2LWWISDBZPI82/Aegostatius+and+the+Last+Tree+On+Earth+W.jpg Cantos from the New Pantheon - Aegostatius and the Last Tree on Earth Stumped conte, graphite, watercolor 23k Red gold leaf & 16k Light Green gold leaf on hand tinted Rives BFK paper It would be hard for me to over emphasize how important this piece is/was to my development as an artist, as well as its importance to clarifying my vision for The Shael Ovalis. With this work I was able to add an important element of pathos to the art and the story: a fundamental motif that would exist throughout the works - a fundamental honoring of the real and symbolic power of nature and at the same time a cautionary statement on mankind's tendency to abuse it. All of the compositional elements work to that effect. The strong vertical creates drama, and it is no accident that it also calls to mind both the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Indeed, the Aeloi Aegostatius gives his life (by merging with the last living tree) to save not only that tree, but also the future generations of trees to come. The figure, which pays homage to a rarely seen drawing by Michelangelo and the famous Deposition painting by Rembrandt, is a prime example of my mannerist sensibilities used for explicate purpose - the Aeloi's attenuated body and wings seem to be already turning into the limbs and branches on which he hangs. Furthermore, this is the first time that I added watercolor to what is in essence a drawing. That, combined with the gold leaf, two toned and of such a symbolic and decorative nature that it amplifies the works preciosity, giving the whole work an iconic feel. In my eyes it cries out like an altarpiece to the sublimity of nature and this piece affected the development of my visual art, my writing, and even my own personal philosophy. http://www.randallmgood.com/2017-sketch-of-the-week daily 0.75 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611215624-CKFONFA2SHXNC3T5RE2S/W1-Spring-Spying-on-Agretam.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Spring Spying on Agretameus Week 1 Jan 2017 pen & Ink with wash and watercolor 8 1/2" x 7" Unframed $175 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611215624-CKFONFA2SHXNC3T5RE2S/W1-Spring-Spying-on-Agretam.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Spring Spying on Agretameus Week 1 Jan 2017 pen & Ink with wash and watercolor 8 1/2" x 7" Unframed $175 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611215601-B3QKSJEI5M69QME63HRY/W2-A-Prophet.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - A Prophet Week 2 Jan 2017 charcoal, white conte', pen & ink with wash 8 1/2 " x 7" unframed $150 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611223027-FNC2HUD6KMUA6X90R0AO/W3-The-Great-Goddes-Shelum-.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - The Great Goddess Shelum SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611222784-K1CZB21EXQRN6FOKY38U/W4-Flying-Giraffes.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Flying Giraffes Week 4 Jan 2017 graphite, pen & ink with wash, watercolor 6 1/2" x 5" unframed $ 75 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611230184-8A243DBW0M1TY6CQK4X0/W5-How-The-Mountains-Were-M.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - How The Mountains Were Made Week 5 Feb 2017 graphite, pen & ink each sketch 4" x 4 1/2" unframed $ 95 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611230888-LAOGUDP1ASHX0N15XWQL/W6-The-Woman-Who-Loved-the-.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - The Women Who Loved the Sun and Became a Flower Week 6 Feb 2017 pen & ink, watercolor 18K Light Gold Leaf 7 1/4" x 5 1/4" unframed $215 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1486611233881-QX5FMSFD08VCRINYFGJR/W7-Jehaniver-and-the-Animal.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Jehaniver and the Animals #1 Week 7 Feb 2017 pen & ink and watercolor 9" x 5 1/4" unframed $195 SOLD Note: For those who are familiar with the story of Jehaniver you might find it interesting that the birds that circle her head are Common Poor Wills - the only species of bird known to hibernate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1487747129345-G0YIQ4DUMCH6UF922TB5/W8-Nayabella-Spring-Spreadi.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Nayabella (Spring) Spreading Her Cloak Week 8 Feb 2017 Pen & Ink and watercolor 6 1/2" x 4 3/4" unframed $165 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1488353254977-LDMHEVN7VBAOC3BRV505/W8-Saint-Sebastian.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Saint Sebastian Trying to Fend Off an Arrow Week 9 Mar 2017 Pen & Ink with Wash and White Gouache 7 1/2" x 7" unframed $95 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1488946011561-MEIYHYBJB3C50QZIP8HM/W10-Farewell-To-The-Last-Lo.jpg 2017 Sketch of the Week - Farewell To The Last Lovely Flower Week 10 March 2017 Pen & Ink, Watercolor, Copper Leaf 6 1/2" x 4 1/4" unframed $210 SOLD I did this sketch upon hearing congress moved to allow mining companies to dump their waste directly into streams, rivers and waterways.

Brook of Cherith (Kerith) Elijah in the wilderness is a story of great drama. Equally compelling to me is the tale's symbolic power, as the name of the individual who commissioned the work is Kerith. Elijah was a forceful prophet whose attributes are Ravens and a bright "wheel" in which, upon his death, he ascended to Heaven. The story goes that during a prolonged drought he went to live by the brook of Cherith (or Kerith) which still ran. There he received food from Ravens each morning and evening. The theme that binds the entire triptych is the physical and spiritual worlds united through the dualistic and beneficent effects of the brook of Cherith. Therefore, the brook is symbolically rendered in pure gold leaf, creating a very stylized aspect of spiritual purity; but the gold also gives the brook a very tangible presence. This spiritual/physical duality is stressed throughout the work. First, the composition is filled with earthy elements like trees, stone, dirt, and dusty foliage only to have them reworked in other areas as stylized elements like the silhouettes of the creek side grasses, the stage-like boulders, or, most especially, in Elijah's magnificent halo. Also, the composition is split horizontally between the tangible wilderness (physical) at the bottom and the mysterious void of the sky area (metaphysical). Next, the palette furthers the interplay of the real and the numinous. The ruddy pink flesh of the figures, dry grasses, stone, and dirt stands in contrast to the spiritual world as represented by the shining gold leaf, the colorful cloaks and wings of the Angels, and especially by the Heavenly, ethereal verdant colors of the Halo. Lastly, there are numerous symbolic elements that propel the imagery and narrative. The halo backlighting Elijah is an allusion to the wheel that took the prophet to Heaven and also a visual metaphor of the gifts, or bounty, from God. The two flanking Angels strike another symbolic note. The cloak of the Angel on the left holds a stalk of wheat signifying the physical world. The cloak of the Angel on the right has three Raven feathers stuck in it alluding to the spiritual world. The spectacular Ravens, in a group of the all important number 3, function like intermediaries between the two realms. For those of us who truly love and respect the Raven, no other animal conveys that mysterious, privileged ability to straddle the line between the tangible and the intangible, the earthly and the divine. Much like the Raven, art can bridge the physical and spiritual. A great story filled with meanings, both personal and archetypal, which is then rendered in a unique visual language, elevates the subject and the viewer into a world of wonder and sublimity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1572673238999-WBMTTNS2XE2HRT224PGS/8-13-17-7-fix-TRIP-C-W.jpg Elijah at the Brook of Kerith (Cherith) Triptych - Elijah at the Brook of Cherith (Kerith) Elijah in the wilderness is a story of great drama.

To unite these two aspects the nine works are divided into three groups of three images called triplets. Each triplet corresponds to a major phase of Paul's experience. Chronologically they are Conversion, Trials, and Triumph. Simply speaking, each image portrays the spiritual impact of a narrative episode from Paul's life. By combining visuals that are illustrative (narrative) and spiritual (symbolic) every work comments on the triplet to which it belongs as well as the series as a whole. For instance, when Paul sheds the restrictive ribbon-like phylacteries in scene 3 it is the narrative and visual culmination of the first triplet's subject, Conversion. The ribbons reappear in the final scene of the third triplet, Triumph, when they are carried away by the Dove of the Holy Spirit, firmly emphasizing that Paul has been completely liberated by the triumph of Faith. In conclusion, a successful commission, especially in serial form, has multiple levels. Ultimately, The Life of Paul, resonates with meanings and visual gifts that continue to grow with every consideration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1572669263098-50Y2B6NQE10SU2UQ8HN2/Paul_in_Prison.jpg The Life of Paul - The Life of Paul Commission Notes on The Life of Paul Commission The works of art that comprise The Life of Paul commission portray both the historical and the spiritual paths of the apostle's journey.

Almost 500 years later I perceived the commission for the Stations of the Cross in the same way, as both an opportunity and a challenge. I embraced this chance to make an age-old staple of church decoration modern and vital, by treating each painting in the series as its own individual, self-contained work of art. I employed the principles of Florentine disegno to create brilliantly colored and expressively composed pictures that would compliment, yet remain affective within their ultimate home, a 100 year old church solemnly lit by stained glass windows. To meet the challenges of the subject, I chose to emphasize two elements that should be examined prior to considering the images and the accompanying notes. First, portraying Christ with the single cross piece, or patibulum, allowed me to manipulate the figure in a mannerist fashion to create expressive attitudes and avoid the poses of older treatments. Secondly, both color and composition function in a symbolic manner. The vibrant colors of the background suggest the passing day and heighten the emotional impact of each scene. Christ’s humanity is emphasized throughout the first eleven paintings. His cloth, so different from the traditional blue and white, is the color of blood tainted earth. The rhythm of the poses and His bent and weighty bearing, magnify His proximity to the earth. The final three panels are an expression of His sacrificial apotheosis. His drapery, now white, signifies purity as He is lifted above the earth in a visual representation of the awesome power of sacrifice, love, and mercy. Using the elements of disegno – drawing, composition, and color, enables me to create works of art imbued with great pathos. It is my hope that the paintings of THE WAY OF THE CROSS will do what the Stations of the Cross have done for centuries -- tell a story and in so doing touch the hearts and minds of the viewers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470902805031-3TU4AWCWR4XRJ3DG8I95/st-1-Jesus-is-Condemmed-to-Death-OW.jpg About: The Way of the Cross - The Passion of the Christ in Art - Station I Jesus Is Condemned To Death In a somber, tent like atmosphere, The Way Of The Cross begins. Pilate holds the fasces, a Roman symbol of judicial authority, as he points to the cross piece and the way that Christ must go. The pose of Jesus is a variation of the Ecce Homo. The design of this figure deliberately envisions Christ’s acceptance of the awful path to come and the magnitude of His sacrifice. The intense red of Pilate’s mantle is an example of the symbolic function that color serves throughout the series; in this case it is the first foreshadowing of the blood to be spilled.

He appears heroic, willingly taking up the cross for the redemption of mankind. All of the elements in the composition contribute to this effect, from the dramatic diagonal of the patibulum, to the swag of drapery in the background. At the lower right I placed a lamb, touching the cross, as a symbol of the approaching sacrifice. Furthermore, it is not unintentional that the blood red sky of early morning seems to touch the breast of the lamb.

He is a knot of struggling bone and skin, muscle and sinew. The yellow background of the morning sun isolates and emphasizes His distress. By manipulating this ebb and flow through color and compositional devices, I sought to portray the full pathos of the passion and bring the viewer into the journey.

Pictured before a light blue sky with strips of the receding dawn at the bottom, the figures appear monumental, silhouettes of drapery and dramatic intensity. By placing the Madonna at an angle to the picture plane looking in, we the viewers become participants, witnesses who respond empathetically. Christ presents Himself as if He were already nailed to the Cross. This device is a foreshadowing of Station XII, and in both paintings a world is communicated in the heartrending gaze between Mother and Son.

The prostration of Jesus is in contrast to Simon’s vigorous action and flowing mantle. The singular compassion of Simon’s act of lifting the cross, contrasts directly with the two unfeeling witnesses in the background. Separated by a small tree that alludes to the Tree of Life, they look anywhere but at the drama, refusing to acknowledge the events around them. This is an example of a symbolic detail that runs through the series. In this case, by turning their backs physically and metaphorically to Christ and the cross, they turn their backs on salvation.

Her veil was imprinted with the face of Jesus when she mercifully wiped away His blood and sweat. This painting is a counterpoint to the preceding panel. Where Station V is dramatic, The Veil of Veronica is quiet and tender. Christ assumes an almost physically impossible attitude in which He maintains contact with the cross, yet seems to lay His head in the hands of Veronica. She gently bends down to receive His brow. He is all tormented and bent flesh; she is a pillar of drapery and softness.

The design of this composition continues the rhythm of Christ’s poses in the series. Here at the halfway point, it provides a respite from the physical agonies of the first scenes, while looking ahead to the drama of the approaching climax. The design also emphatically restates the symbolic function of composition and color. Christ seems to rise out of the earth, His flesh and billowing drapery shining against the chromatically intense blue of the afternoon sky.

Seen from behind Christ, the viewer becomes like Him, an afflicted body moving down a dark path. The hands of the women play out the words from the liturgy. As the woman on the right reaches toward Jesus we hear Him say, “Do not weep for me…” The gestures continue the theme as the central woman touches her breast, “…weep for yourselves…” And finally, as the woman on the left cradles her pregnant belly, the words echo and fade in our ears, “…and weep for your children.” Oil on board 14 x 11 2007 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54120d36e4b09e0238ae4193/1470902968846-VJK2OIQ28QJ2GHLJPZTB/st-9-Jesus-Falls-a-Third-Time-ow.jpg About: The Way of the Cross - The Passion of the Christ in Art - Station IX Jesus Falls A Third Time Jesus is exhausted; the terrible journey is near its conclusion. Station IX recalls the overwhelming gravitas of Christ’s relationship to the earth. He falls under the weight of the cross and His sacrifice. Under an ominous bruised sky with a blood red horizon, Christ peers at the half buried skull that represents Golgotha. The strained posture of His arms prefigures the Crucifixion. We are transfixed by empathy; we have become witnesses and beneficiaries to an event greater than ourselves.

This composition heightens the drama and fills the panel with violent movement. Furthermore, the crepuscular and agitated sky contributes to the sense of action. In the figure of Christ, I imagined His aching muscles and bruised flesh still fighting, resistant to yet another indignity inflicted by the very souls He was sent to redeem.

The hammer is poised to strike; the first nail is about to pierce Christ’s flesh. The V-shaped composition focuses attention on the nail and splits the responses of the figures in the painting. The pathos is tangible as Christ reaches toward Mary and a companion who react in shock, in sadness, and in sympathy. To the left, an observer casually helps the executioner by pressing down Christ’s hand with his foot, while another figure, in an aura of black, seems blissfully unconcerned.

His mantle, once the color of blood and earth, is now purified by the Crucifixion and shines white against a sanguine sky. Christ is no longer of the earth. He is released; He is transcendent. The full pathos of the sacrificial apotheosis is expressed in Mary’s gaze, uplifted in maternal angst, and in the devoted embrace of Mary Magdalene.

Her erect yet gentle form defies the claims of earth and bears the impossible burden. Her figure is pure mannerist invention. Mary’s attenuated neck and back arch protectively over Christ. As she did when He was an infant, she holds her son to her breast, wrapped in the soft folds of her garments. The penumbra of white cloth that surrounds the tender tableau also touches the remnant of the patibulum, which recedes into the background. All of the pathos that has been building in the long journey is released in this final embrace of mother and child.

Christ, suspended above the earth one final time by a group of mourners, is lowered toward the unseen tomb. The introduction of green, pink, and golden orange to the palette points to Spring and the Resurrection. The sacrificial apotheosis is complete, as Christ’s body is held out toward the viewer. Not only is it an invitation to participate in the drama, but The Savior is presented as a gift to all who would walk the way of the cross.
