Painting with Fire

Nike of Samothrace

This summer I worked with artist Dwight Evalt on a video to show one of his painting techniques which uses fire. The beginning of the painting Nike of Samothrace.  It came together and a young local musician Treven Hughes' music fits the action.  The music was recorded last year at McMinnville Community Media studio.

Dwight and I are almost neighbors.  Dwight lives in Carlton Oregon.  His website is dwightevaltart.weebly.com

Liz and I and Dwight were on this year's Art Harvest Studio Tour  A program of the Arts Alliance of Yamhill County which has been sponsoring the Tour for 20 years.  The 2012 Tour was Friday Oct 5, 6, 7 and the second weekend Oct 12, 13 and 14.   With a Student Education Tour during the week between.

It was a pretty good Tour.  I don't think Dwight demonstrated painting with fire.  You can see here.

Elizabeth Santone, a successful feature artist presentation

Timothy Field

Today at the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery Elizabeth Santone talked about her narrative watercolor paintings and her landscape painting.

As Elizabeth was concluding a gentleman in the back of the room told a story of two young skate boarders who were in an intense discussion just out side the Gallery.  They were in a passionate debate about Elizabeth Santone's painting of a tree that was in the window of the Gallery. 

We (Meadowlake Studios) filmed Elizabeth's presentation.  We also filmed OK Ji Radda and Janet Louvau Holt and they discussed their work.

Next comes the work of putting together a watchable video.
