A person finds something interesting.

They frame it.

It becomes interesting to us.

We empathize.

Tuttle's Thumbs and A Point in Space

Last night Richard Tuttle was speaking to me about art

depending upon the origin of a point in space and then

connecting that point in space with another point.

At that point in the conversation he very specifically

positioned his thumbs like the diagram above. I instantly

thought, "Rope Piece!". He then posed the question,

what if one of the points was taken away?

Slammed by Agnes de Bethune

Agnes de Bethune slammed me with a bunch

of images. This is the first set.

Check out her blog. In a recent post she

meticulously lays out a method for

constructing a carton "for storing and

transporting paintings". It's great!

Looking at Sisley-Blinn's muffins, I recalled I made

these in 2007. Although they look more like Reese's

Peatnut Butter Cups.

I love wikipedia. A question came to my mind: Who is

Reese and what's up with his cups?

And just like that I got my

answer.

Sisley-Blinn Maple Seeds

informative blog: Sisley-Blinn's Blog.

Love the yummy wax muffins.

A Recent Studio Shot

Sheppell Chunk

Here's a rare southeastern chunk and it comes from
painter Elizabeth Sheppell of Atlanta. Her work can
be seen at the Sandler Hudson Gallery.

Mattera Chunks

From Joanne Mattera, somewhere in New York City.

Guess where (?) ...

She says, "The back facades (derriers?) have always

been painted these odd colors, but only now, after some

20+ years, have the surfaces gotten interesting".

It's up to artists to notice and record these types of things.

If we don't, who will?

Steven Baris's Subtle Chunk

Steven Baris is a painter and lives in the great metropolis of Philadelphia.

"Love the way the sun washed out the oranges in different areas".

Here's his website.

Cowlin Chunks

Barbara Cowlin paints inconspicuous places in public spaces.

Weathersby Chunk

This comes from Montclair NJ and Ken Weathersby.

Check out his website and see how his chunk parallels

his work.

New Blog and Opening

Tennessee State Animal: The raccoon.

I've started a blog called GNOTA, which is an acronym for the Guild of Non-Objective Tennessee Artists. I know the world is over saturated with acronyms, but what's just one more?

The blog is meant to run parallel to an exhibition called "Tennessee Abstract Painting" which is opening at the Cheekwood Museum in Nashville tonight at 6pm. The show will run from March 14 to September 20. There are artists from all three of the "grand divisions" of Tennessee. All dedicated to that wacky and only slightly malinged thing called: Abstract Painting.

Here's the line up:

Ron Buffington, Dwayne Butcher, Hamlett Dobbins, Melissa Dunn, Richard Feaster, Carol Mode, Brady Haston, Rocky Horton, Hans Schmitt-Matzen, Amanda Rogers-Horton, Jared Sprecher, John Tallman, Terry Thacker, Lain York.
