Fine Art expressive impressions
What was the art but a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, to sweet to lose.
~ Willa Cather
Plein air is painting outdoors capturing quickly and intuitively the fleeting light. Starting about 1899 and because of a certain “slant of light,” American Impressionism took root and blossomed with a group of artist who gathered at Florence Griswold’s home in Old Lyme across the Connecticut River from my home town Deep River. Today, plein air and representational painting continue to be actively promoted by both the Florence Griswold Museum and the nearby Lyme Art Academy.
Worn Shoes – an exercise in photorealism – developed into a series of six 9×12 oil paintings on smooth masonite.
Modern – non-objective or abstract painting – is characterized by an avoidance of anything representational. Symbols, gestures, color are explored to depict what Wassily Kandinsky in his Concerning the Spiritual in Art argues is “a nourishment of consciousness” and, therefore, the truly spiritual.
Homage honors two great masters by copying one of their works:
- Édouard Manet’s bouquet of flowers
- Fernando Botero’s nun holding a rose … a “color value” exercise where half is black & white and half color.
Drawings … most were created in my twenties and early thirties, and capture at the time (I think) a naive sense of sincerity and confidence.
Solar energy is now beautiful!

THE KARDASHEV SCALE
Type I, II, III, IV, V, VI & VII Civilizations
Experts assert that as a civilization grows larger and becomes more advanced, its energy demands will increase rapidly due to its population growth and the energy requirements of its various machines. With this in mind, The Kardashev Scale was developed as a way of measuring a civilization’s technological advancement based upon how much usable energy it has at its disposal. Civilization Type I is given to species who have been able to harness all the energy that is available from a neighboring star, gathering and storing it to meet the energy demands of a growing population. Civilization Type V are like gods having the knowledge to manipulate the universe as they please. Civilization Type VI & VII are in the Doctor Who realm of time & space manipulation.
Humankind is at 0.7 of Type I on the scale.

WHO IS JOHN GALT?
Reason vs Mysticism
One of two fictional protagonists in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, John Galt is a philosopher and inventor. He believes in the power and glory of the human mind and that “mysticism” weakens the mind. He believes in the right of the individual to use their mind solely for themselves. Galt invents a motor – a perpetual motion machine – efficient and strong enough to drive a locomotive, extracting its power from static electricity and ambient energy.

A Passion for Creating
There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW!

How do you make the timelessness of inert, silent objects count for something?
How to use the dumbness of sculpture in a way that acts on us as living things?
~ Antony Gormley ~
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE PROFITABLE KIND
I’m a veteran designer. I turn raw content into clear, memorable novelty. I aim to persuade, seduce, cajole and educate; to create AH-HA moments; to elucidate when meaning is fuzzy and opaque; to flatter and be respectful; in Paul Rand’s words, “to make the obvious interesting.”
Good design exists
in the space between
intent and intuition.
