4th of July, okay where are my eagles?
I painted this and realized my copy is way to small, so I need to take another photo.
July at Corner Galley
Well here is my exhibit for July at the Corner Gallery, suppose I will refer to it as my critter exhibit. It was a hot day and my concern for the en-caustic (wax) dragon was not warranted, it made a safe trip to the wall. It seems a pleasant. Good news I did not have to change walls.
change up from last month.
Getting ready for June at the Corner Gallery.
I changed my art theme to Abstract at the Corner Gallery, this is what it looks like, I have not printed the name tags for them yet. I will be there Tuesday afternoon 2 to 5, so will get ready for the first Friday Art Walk and make the name tags while at the Gallery.
All are oil paintings except the on on the bottom right it is water color. (Reeds On The River)
Standing Rock from web photo?
So inspired to paint this because the found the horse so both challenging and inviting to paint. Plus of course the political background is always in the background. Oil painting on linin 18×24. Still need to sign and varnish it. I am pleased with it.
At my local gallery
Being Koi
Oil on canvas 18 x 30 inches not finished needs varnish. Photo looks to white, I suspect it was still wet. I will upgrade the photo asap.s
19th Avenue San Francisco
From my photograph of 19th Avenue going through San Francisco. It may not be done, but then this is referred to as artists discretion. Since I was conjured, born and raised in San Francisco I will need to get back there and take more pictures to paint. Have a potential idea or two in my minds eye, which I could possibly attempt, but for now it is foggy.
This is oil on canvas 16×20. 
Plato’s Cave (2020 update)
Okay this is my second Plato’s Cave. Those of you who know the analogy of Plato’s Cave could possibly help me figure out what they are forced to look at as captive audience. I decided with the Donkey, Dollar, Elephant theme.
We as captives are forced to watch constant advertising, political pandering and my biased view difference between both parties is none.
finished version of Plato’s Cave.
As you can see, I included the one person who got away leaving the cave for the rest of the world, in the upper right. Any comments or feedback will be appreciated.
Allegory of Plato’s Cave
Synopsis:
Chained individuals in the dark forced to look ahead at a blank wall in a cave where shadow images are displayed on the wall from a fire behind them, images controlled by fire tenders.
This wall and shadows are all the chained individuals know of the world. One day a chained individual gets loose and escapes to wander to the surface and sees the sun and the real world as green and blue not just black and orange. Feeling sorry for his chained comrades the free individual goes back into the dark of the cave and has trouble seeing in the dark but attempts to explain to his comrades the wonders of the real world. The chained comrades feel threatened by his story and believe it is a lie and would kill him for trying to change the world they know.
Artist view, Plato’s Cave is a metaphor for US and the world fed propaganda by the Establishment Mass Media.
Does anyone have any other ideas of what the forced audience in Plato’s Cave just as we are forced to watch? this is my view of our so called two parties? I have conjured other options, but so far like this one seems apt.
